List of Paper Mario: The Origami King glitches
This is a list of glitches in Paper Mario: The Origami King.
Glitches
NOTE: All names are conjectural unless otherwise specified.
Wave battle glitch
If a wave battle is supposed to start, but only one enemy is alive and another is in their death animation, it will still initiate a wave battle and consider both enemies alive.
Sumo Bro glitch
During the second phase of the Boss Sumo Bro rematch in the Battle Lab, defeating the Boss Sumo Bro with a POW Block without defeating the two Sumo Bros beforehand will cause the game to softlock.
Red house roof clip
By jumping at the right angle near some crates in Toad Town, the player will be able to climb onto the roof of one of the houses. From there they can wander along the tops of the nearby hedges, as well as make their way onto other rooftops in the area. [1]
Professor Toad in the floor
In front of any tower in Scorching Sandpaper Desert, the player can get Professor Toad stuck in the ground by having him dig in front of the structure, moving back slightly and then speaking to Olivia.[2]
VIP pass glitch
Warning! Performing this action may corrupt your game's save file.
In Shangri-Spa, after obtaining the VIP pass to access the Spring of Rainbows, if the player leaves the path to the Spring of Rainbows after entering, the VIP pass will be gone from the menu. If the player then speaks to the Toad at the reception, they will not have the stamp card and there is no way to get another one. Saving after this point will brick the save file.[3]
Snif City Royal Hotel glitch
Warning! Performing this action may corrupt your game's save file.
If the player turns off the water in the Snif City Hotel, then doesn't free the Toad that the nearby Snifit was surfing on, they'll be unable to free it when they return later in the story. This makes it impossible to get 100% completion for Shroom City, and locks the player out of the secret ending.[4]
King Olly softlock
In the second phase of the final battle with King Olly, it's possible for the Thwomp to get stuck in mid air just above Mario. This prevents him from using the 1000-Fold Arms or dying, and hence requires the player to reset the game to move on. [5]
Stuck pillar
Warning! Performing this action may corrupt your game's save file.
In the Sea Tower, there is a moving pillar in the Earth Vellumental room that the player has to pull Olly Tape off of. However, in some instances, the pillar will not move after they do this, potentially rendering the save file unwinnable.[6]
