Paper Mario: The Origami King's Play Time depends on your goal. You can finish the game in a shorter time without finding all the hidden collectibles. The more time you spend on completing them, the longer it will take. Check the details below on how long Paper Mario Origami King is.

35 Hours for Our Walkthrough Team

For our walkthrough team, a single playthrough took about 35 hours long to make it to the credits roll. However, depending on how much time you spend getting collectibles and rescuing Toads, etc, the amount of time can change by alot

About 20-25 Hours if played quickly

If you ignore all collectibles and try to rush to the end quickly, and you are completing battles efficiently, it seems likely that the game could be cleared in about 20 hours long. The fact that cutscenes are unskippable makes the game a bit longer than it would be otherwise, but it seems like a fun game for speedrunners, so maybe we'll see even faster times!

Takes a lot of time to 100%

If you want to 100% the game, picking up all collecttibles, saving all toads, and filling in every hole, you could spend an extremely long time playing this game. This game really shines in the amount of collectibles you can hunt for in each area, so if that is your thing, we recommend not worrying about the clear time so much.
