Mario and Olivia next follow the blue streamer and take a tram station to [[Autumn Mountain]]. On the tram, they meet [[Bob-omb (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Bob-omb]], a happy-go-lucky amnesiac, whom Olivia nicknames Bobby. He tags along with them as they travel to the [[Water Vellumental Shrine]]. Upon defeating the origami [[Water Vellumental]], Olivia gains the ability to fold into the Vellumental and create water. She uses this power to refill a dry lake and the [[Eddy River]], which the trio travel down to reach [[Shogun Studios]], a popular theme park.

Mario, Olivia, and Bob-omb enter the park, finding it almost entirely deserted. They are tasked with finding the park's master key to rescue the park staff, who are trapped in the high castle tower. After traveling through the whole park, they rescue Luigi in the employee area of the [[Ninja Attraction]], who found the master key, mistaking it for the key to Peach's Castle. The trio unlocks the tower gates and enter [[Big Sho' Theatre]]. After participating in three performances, they face off against [[Rubber Band]], another one of Olly's general. After defeating Rubber Band, Mario destroys the blue streamer, saving the park and bringing them closer to saving Peach's Castle. The park celebrates with a fireworks ceremony, which jogs Bob-omb's memories.

''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the expansive overworld, graphics, writing, and plot, but criticized the battling system, despite its innovation, for being tedious and unrewarding.
''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the expansive overworld, graphics, writing, and plot, though its combat system received mixed reactions, being praised for its innovation but criticized for being tedious and unrewarding. While considered an improvement over ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash|Color Splash]]'', it was also criticized for many of the same reasons as its predecessors: lack of originality, the absence of traditional RPG elements, and little incentive on combat.
