Scuffle Island
- “A square island. Curious. What mysteries await us there, I wonder?”
- —Captain T. Ode, Paper Mario: The Origami King
Scuffle Island is one of 11 accessible islands in the Great Sea in Paper Mario: The Origami King. It is charted in territory C-7 on the Sea Chart with a shape of a square. When Mario enters the gates, he must defeat seven Paper Macho Soldiers for a total of 31600 coins and the Ring Champion trophy. After winning each round, Mario is given the option to keep going or quit with the coins currently earned. If he quits and comes back, or if he defeats all seven and takes the challenge for a second time later, defeating any of the opponents again awards 1/10th of the original coins, with the exception of the Paper Macho Buzzy Beetle which instead awards half of the original coins. There are no Collectible Treasures, Not-Bottomless Holes, ? Blocks, or hidden Toads on Scuffle Island; however, visiting the island is required for collecting one of the Great Sea's Collectible Treasures, since a Shangri-Spa Toad statue spawns to give Mario his coin reward after winning at least one battle.
Although Mario can visit Scuffle Island as soon as the Great Sea becomes accessible, he cannot enter the island while Olivia is trapped under a boulder in Sweetpaper Valley. If Mario comes here before this event, Bob-omb will wait outside the gate.
