The battle system of the game is something unfamiliar to the players. Players have to get the enemies in a straight line or 2x2 format on a spinning board to deal the most damage with their hammer or boots. Of course, there are other elements like the battle lab, toads, iron boots, etc. to help Mario in his journey. It can be overwhelming for some players who are used to the traditional Mario games. Here are tips that can help players master this new battle system

10 Turn Off Motion Control

Motion control is a feature added to almost every game on Switch. Players move their Switch in real-time to move the character in the game. This creates a more immersive experience, but it's not always the most efficient. Its novelty will wear off quickly when Mario will have trouble defeating stronger enemies and bosses later in the game.

To control his 1000-Fold Arms, players will have to move the Switch more rigorously to make his arms move. It is best to turn off motion control, from the settings.

9 Work On The Execution

The battle system of The Origami King forces players to think critically to solve puzzles and use fast reflexes to attack at the right to get the maximum damage. This is just like a fighting game, with diverse colors and story.

Practice with the equipment in the Battle Lab to get that excellent hit by pressing A at the right moment. Excellent hits with powerful weapons deal a lot of damage. This makes dealing with enemies much easier.

8 Keep Stacking On Coins

It is something to be done while exploring the tangible world of The Origami King. Coins are gained by smashing every tiny thing that could be smashed and rescuing the toads folded in different shapes.

Coins can be used to buy new weapons, mushrooms, and accessories that help in the battle. Toads also take a lot of coins to cheer Mario up and help him out of a stalemate. They are the key to smooth sailing in the game.

7 Rescue All The Toads

Rescuing toads awards much more than just coins and a pun; the toads also help in the battle. More toads saved means that more toads will come to help Mario in the arena. Their assistance in battle will also be more potent and cost fewer coins if they are greater in numbers

Hold the Y button to start spending coins. Once released, the toads will help in many ways like increasing Mario's health, rearranging the enemies, give Mario some weapon, or directly deal damage to the foes. The most coins the player can spend at once on toads is 999.

6 Battle Lab

Battle Lab is a place where players can practice and improve their skills. It does not require any coins, but many players forget to unlock it and grind in the actual battles instead of practicing there.

To unlock the Battle Lab, rescue a toad folded like a dog near the entrance of Picnic Road. The toad will then reveal the location of the Battle Lab, which is at the center of Toad Town. The Battle Lab awards two special devices: Time Extender and Puzzle Solver. Both of them are essential in winning boss battles.

5 Learn To Solve Puzzles Early In The Game

It should be clear by now that The Origami King is a puzzle game. Exploring the world and defeating the enemies or bosses all require to solve different kinds of puzzles. Once players get used to it, it'll feel more like a challenge than a burden. Players should get familiar with it and train their brains to think out of the box as soon as possible

There is a time limit to solve most puzzles and this increases the pressure. After an enemy's attack, Mario's health is reduced to half, and the reward is also reduced. Battle Labs is a good place to practice such battles.

4 An Extra Won't Hurt

All the weapons bought from battle shops break down after a few hits except for the regular shoes and hammers. As a result, it is never a bad idea to keep spares at hand. There are many accessories that can be bought that make a huge difference in a battle.

Several shops across the maps sell iron boots and higher stat hammers that deal a lot of damage. To increase the longevity of these weapons, hit the enemy first with a strong hammer, and, once its health is reduced, use a regular hammer.

3 Rearrange Them Back To Win

The battle arena of The Origami King is like a map straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean; secrets will only be revealed if the arrangement is correct. At the start, the arrangement of the enemies is always in the correct order, they'll be dead in two hits.

So, all the players have to do is rearrange them back to their original position and the enemies will be killed instantly. Toads can always be called if players are stuck halfway because they can shuffle them in the ideal pattern.

2 First Strike

This is common sense, but many players still miss this golden opportunity to get ahead of the enemy. Since The Origami King has a turn-based combat system, the one who gets the first strike will always be ahead.

A high damage hammer or iron boots should be used here, as they deal the most damage and are most ideal in this case. The iron boots can be found in the world, too. Players don't have to pay at a battle shop to get them.

1 Heal If Toads Don't Do It

During the battle, when Toads come to cheer Mario up, they assist him in many ways. Healing is health is one of them. But, relying 100% on health on them is not a good strategy. What if they give a Mario a strong weapon but his health is so low that the enemy can kill him in the next move?

That's where mushrooms come in. They can be used anytime during the battle, but mushrooms have to be bought from the Battle shop, which will require some coins.
