List of Contents
Except for Olivia and enemies, various characters will temporarily accompany Mario at different areas of the game. Here is a list of all major partners of Mario, in order of appearance.
Can Mario be his own companion? Of course! Mario is the only playable character, outside of Ring Battles, in Paper Mario: The Origami King, and appears at the very beginning, riding along with his brother Luigi, on a Kart.
Mario's first companion in the game is Luigi, but Luigi will constantly leave to go on his own quests. Mario will occassionally reunite with Luigi, with Luigi providing essential information and items for the story's progress.
Olivia is the only companion that stays with Mario from beginning to end. She is introduced in the Prologue, after Mario frees her from the dungeon wall. Olivia will be Mario's trusted guide and friend throughout the game. She can even learn the ability to transform herself into the Vellumentals you defeat in battle!
If you're looking for spoilers for the ending, you can find out what happens to Olivia at the end here:
After freeing Olivia, Mario also frees a folded Bowser from the dungeon. He becomes Mario's companion for a short time in the Prologue, then gets separated from Mario and Olivia after the Streamers carry Peach's Castle away. He doesn't return to his unfolded form until Mario reaches the Origami Castle, where he helps Mario and Olivia defeat King Olly.

Bowser Jr. sticks around with Kamek, and also becomes Mario and Olvia's companion for much of their time at Shangri-Spa. In order to use the clown car to enter Bowser's Castle, Bowser Jr. must be restored to his original form.

During the Can Opener objective at Autumn Mountain, a Spike and a Bone Goomba will accompany you for a short time. If you happen to start a battle while these characters are following you, they will also follow you into battle!
You won't be able to directly switch to and control any of your companions, but some will provide field abilities that Mario doesn't have. For example, Professor Toad can dig shining spots in the desert, for more coins or items.
You won't have to worry about choosing the right companion to get through an area. It is part of the story for a character to automatically join you when you arrive at the place where they're needed.

While they're with you, companions will join you in Ring Battles and help you defeat your enemies. Check the list of Paper Mario's Battle Partners below:
Olivia will always be your battle companion. Aside from showing you the ropes in battle, Olivia will eventually learn to transform herself into the Vellumentals that you defeat in Battle. These Vellumental forms can then be used to defeat the other Vellumentals and Bosses that you fight throughout the game.
While Bobby is with you in the field, he will be your companion in Ring Battles. Bobby's Bomb Bump has a low base attack power, but some of our team members have been able to get as much as 20 attack from good ol' Bobby. We are investigating what leads to this attack boost.
As Mario's battle companion, Professor Toad can attack lined-up enemies in Ring Battles.
As Mario's battle companion, Kamek can attack enemies in a 2x2 formation, during Ring Battles.
As long as Bowser Jr. is with you, he'll join you in battle as well!
As Mario's battle companion during Phase 2 of the battle with King Olly, Bowser will transform into a giant origami and fight Olly "Paper Sumo"-style.
After rescuing Toads from their origami forms, they will be your constant companions and cheer you on during Ring Battles, and even provide battle items and attacks, in exchange for coins!
