The game will see Mario chase new super-villain King Olly, whose evil ambition is to fold the entire world. As usual, Princess Peach has been kidnapped and absconded to a faraway mountain, and our hero will have to navigate a mixture of two- and three-dimensional spaces to save her. Origami King uses a new battle system that turns fights into puzzle-solving minigames.
