Origami Castle Walkthrough

Castle Entryway

	Objectives
1	Go up the staircase. Pound the middle diamond second from the top and the bottom-left diamond to reveal a Magic Circle.
2	Maneuver the 1,000-Fold Arms to the top to pull down the entrance. Go inside and you'll immediately fight 8 Fire Bros.
3	Continue inside. After a cutscene, continue ahead when the spinning platform is still, and stand on the blue block to the left side that doesn't spin. After that, the Sumo Bro will get confused, so run ahead and hit him with the Hammer before he notices. If you fall in, you will take 100 damage!
4	After the battle, use the Magic Circle that appears on the fold directly above to pull down a staircase. At the fork where the Fire Bro appears, go east. Go west instead and pull up the ? Block on the left to get Treasure No. 113.
5	Ahead, dodge the Fire Bro, and take the west path across the bridge. Pull up the ? Block and hit it to reveal a Magic Circle. Pull down the hanging staircase from the top-left corner. Go through the door.

Deeper Inside the Castle

	Objectives
1	Run straight ahead after these mouths move away. After a cutscene, go along the red bridge dodging the origami mouths. If you run straight ahead after one pair moves out of the way, you should be able to get across with no problem. Getting hit by an origami mouth deals 100 damage!
2	Go across the blue bridges in the next room to make your way to the northwest corner. Peel the tape off the platform to ride it back. Up the staircase, pound the blue wall several times to knock it down. Defeat the Ice Bro in the northeast corner to make a Magic Circle appear.
3	Use the Magic Circle while riding on the platform. Grab the left side of the wallpaper and hold on, then while the platform is moving to the right, push right to peel it away. Go up the staircase and through the door.
4	Stand in the middle between the mouths and advance one by one. In the next room, use the Magic Circle at the base of the staircase, and with the 1,000-Fold Arms, grab the edge of the red bridge in the bottom-right part of the screen, and pull it to the left. Go across the bridge. The origami mouths here will come out with gaps between each pair, so stop in the middle of two mouths and wait for the one ahead to pass, then advance one by one.
5	Spin the platform to this color to pass through to the right. Through the door, go through the Pipe on the right. On the opposite side, hit the ? Block, but the Magic Circle sprite will be stolen by one of three Koopa Troopas. Go back through the Pipe and head for the Koopa Troopa on the far right to make the Magic Circle appear. The road ahead to the right will be blocked, so taunt the northmost Sumo Bro to make it spin the platform and flip it to the side where the road is not blocked.
6	Use the Magic Circle and the 1,000-Fold arms to pull on the top of the envelope. After some pulling, a house will be revealed. Inside, go up the staircase. At the top, you'll be ambushed by 4 Sledge Bros and 4 Hammer Bros. Go through the west door. Hit the ? Block inside the house to get Treasure No. 115.
7	Use the Magic Circle to pull the red bridge from the bottom-left part of the screen to the right. When going across the bridge, a Paper Macho Koopa Troopa will appear, so go back off the bridge. When it slides across, hit its seal, and then Hammer it again to knock it off the bridge. Go across the bridge. On the other side, there is a hidden ? Block on the far right with Treasure No. 116. Look for its shadow on the ground.
8	Find two diamond tiles: one on the southwest corner of the platform, one up the east staircase against the east wall at the top. Hit both of them with the Hammer to create a Magic Circle. With the 1,000-Fold Arms, you'll need to solve a puzzle. Hit the blocks in this order: bottom-left, top-left, top-middle, top-right. Go up and across into the next room. Above the second block from the right, there is a hidden ? Block with Treasure No. 117. Look for its shadow on the ground.
10	Go up the staircase into the next room. When you advance on the bridge, Folder Soldiers will rush at you from the other end. Go back and hit the Olly statue on the left multiple times until it falls, spinning the bridge and sending all the soldiers in.
11	In the next room, hit any of the walls. After a cutscene, a battle with Stapler will begin.How to Beat Stapler

The Final Trial

	Objectives
1	Hit Bowser with the Hammer. Go through the north door.
2	Go up the staircase in the next room. Pull up the ? Block on the east side of the middle platform to get Treasure No. 118.
3	Fight King Olly.How to Beat King Olly

Tips & Strategies

Buy Mushrooms in Advance

Many of the traps in Origami Castle have a tendency to deal 100 damage a pop, which can take Mario out if he falls into a trap twice. You'll want to be sure to heal up each time you fall into a trap, so this is not the time to be stingy with Mushrooms! Head back to Toad Town through Pipe No. 6 before going in and stock up.

How to Avoid the Origami Mouths (Fortune Tellers)

Each time the Origami Mouths appear, they will come out in a different pattern to try to mangle Mario.

On the First Bridge

The first time they appear, the mouths will cross in both directions. If you go across too slowly, you'll get caught, so wait for the moment when both mouths have just gotten out of the way, then run ahead to avoid getting hit by any more mouths coming up to grab you.

On the Second Bridge

At this point, the mouths will change their pattern, so if you throw caution to the wind and run straight ahead like last time, you'll get a guaranteed bad fortune of 100 damage. You'll want to stand in between the mouths as they come two at a time, then walk ahead one at a time to avoid the next set of mouths coming up. If you continue step-by-step in this way, you'll be in the clear!

Boss Strategy Guide

Stapler

The final member of the League of Stationary. The Stapler is tough, but goes down like the rest – once it's vulnerable, attack with the arms!

The Stapler's weak when it runs out of staples, so use Jump attacks and the 1,000-Fold Arms, which significantly decrease its number of staples.

How to Beat Stapler

King Olly

It all comes down to this. Olly will transform into each of the four Vellumentals, though if you run out his HP first, he won't get the chance to do all four.

In the next phase, go directly behind Bowser and hammer away with the Arms! Finally, rearrange the tile and time your jumps each time he attacks to dodge.
