Wind went past Mario as he was falling and then his face slammed right into the stone ground. It was the dungeon that laid under Peach's castle it wasn't used that much.

"MARIO!?" A gang of voices yelled.

Mario got up and dusted himself off to see who was speaking and it was a couple of Bowser's Minions.

The Spike states. "You always like making flashy entrances don't you Mario?"

Koopa Troopa chimes in. "You here for The Origami Festival as well?"

Koopa Troopa looked around the dungeon. "This is much a good waiting lounge! I like the dungeon theme going on with it."

"I mean it's a lot better than the last festival I attended such an upgrade this is."

Hammer Bro rolls his eyes. "Anyway have you seen Master Bowser? It's not like him to ditch us minions at public events like this."

Mario was about to answer but another voice called out to him.

"Whoa! It's really you!" Mario looked to where the voice came from and saw a young Goomba another one of Bowser's Minions.

"T-This it's such an honor! I-I such a big fan! I-I mean if we both fight each other and I-I got stomped o-on. It would still be an honor!" Mario was used to these kinds of people so he just gave The Young Goomba a thumbs up and he cheered.

"This is the best day ever! First I meet the Princess! And now you! This is just the best!"

"But...The Princess was a lot more different than I expected she looked a bit not as life like." Mario thought back to the Princess he still needed to find out what was going on and it doesn't seem Bowser's Minions don't seem to know what was going on either.

Then the door of the dungeon slammed open and some Shy Guys came in but...They looked a lot more different they looked like how The Princess looked all folded up.

"CoMe WiTh Us..." One of them spoke out they also had the same Eerie tone The Princess had with her voice.

Bowser's Minions followed the strange Shy Guy with The Goomba cheering happily about seeing a Toad.

Mario was about to follow them but one of the folded up Shy Guy says. "NoT yOu..."

The Young Goomba stopped and says. "Eh no worries Mario I'll make sure to say hi to the Toads for you!"

The Goomba continues to follow the others as the folded up Shy Guy closes the door.

Mario then thought to himself.

Who could be behind this?

The Princess is all folded up and so were those Shy Guys.

Could Bowser behind this?

No... Then his minions would know what's going on.

"So...Mario is your name correct?"

The voice suprised Mario and looked around the dungeon room but saw nobody. Maybe he was hearing things.

"You're pretty confused I don't blame you but...I require your assistance...I'm well... to be honest I don't know where I am it's like I'm stuck between dimension or something like that."

Mario thought for moment on deciding to help who this voice belong to or just to ignore then due to having no idea how to help them and with them also having no idea where they're stuck.

"Just...Please help me." The voice pleaded.

Mario sighed and caved to The voice's pleads and tried looking around for some answers where they could be.

He looked through the crates and found a hammer lying on the ground a picked it up. And looked at the boxes and started smashing them. Then he found an exit by smashing the crate next to the wall.

Mario thought maybe the voice was this way but when he took a step into the hole the voice said.

"You're not leaving me...Are you?" The voice asked concerned.

Mario took a step back and he notice a mark on the ground in front of the wall at the other end of the room.

He heads over there and the second he stepped onto the mark it started to glow a bright orange and yellow and the mark looked like a hand.

The voice hearing the sound of the mark says. "That sound...I know that sound it's a sound of a Magic Circle. Sounds like you activated it some how but...Do you know how to use it? Maybe it can help me."

Mario was confused he didn't know anything about this...Magic Circle that's what the voice called it right?

"I guess I need to teach you about Magic Circles? Well if that's the only way I'll get out of this in between dimensions place then alright."

"So try focusing your energy on the Magic Circle. It'll on work if you're touching it."

Mario listened to the voice and tried focusing his energy then his arms glowed and then they started to change.

They suddenly became all folded and stretchy this shocked Mario as he takes a moment to stare at his now folded up arms.

"Ah! It sounded like you did it. Good job they're folded up and stretchy correct?"

Mario gave affirming noise still a bit confused on what's going on with his arms.

"Alright! That's good try feeling around with them. See if that'll help with my escape."

Mario carefully feels the wall with his folded arms and felt a bit of loose wallpaper.

Mario grabbed it and kept pulling with all his might and it came clean off the wall and what was pressed up against the wall was another folded up being.

He pushed himself off the wall and adjusted him folded up crown on his head and turned around.

"Thank you Mario you seem to have a talent for rescuing royalty."

Mario tilted his head at the last word he said. "Ah right I haven't properly introduce myself allow me to fix that."

"Ahem! I'm King Olly. The Origami King." Mario hearing the part of being The King Of Origami gave Olly a glare.

"Why you glaring at me like that?" Olly said confused by Mario's glaring.

Mario mentions about the folded up Princess Peach and the folded up Shy Guys.

Olly thought for a moment. "Hmm a Princess? And Shy Guys? Folded up? Wait are you accusing me of doing those things? How rude! I couldn't of done that!"

Mario still glared at Olly not believing him. "I'm telling the truth! I mean I couldn't of done those things. I was just trapped in between dimensions...Which I now just realise is just a wall..."

Olly turned around to think to himself. "Could she of...No no don't be silly Olly she wouldn't of done it but...What she did to him...I...Ugh! This all to confusing!"

Olly held his arms up to his head but he flinched and held to left arm. Mario took a look on why Olly did that and he notice something about Olly's left arm.

It had a tear in it.

Mario looked at Olly.

Maybe he isn't responsible for what is going on.

Then who is?

He mention two others a she and then mentioning she did something to someone else.

Maybe whoever this she is did this.

Mario tapped Olly to get his attention. "Huh Mario do you still think I did this?"

Mario shakes his head and Olly sighs with relief.

"Good. Glad we're on good terms now." Olly says.

Olly looks around.

"So we're in some sort of dungeon? Well it's time to escape then and find out who's behind this folding up paper folk into origami busniess." Olly says.

Mario nods and he was about to head to the hole he found but he was stopped by Olly. "Mario I don't really know much about the castle so will you allow me to catch a ride?"

Mario nods. "Ah so kind. As The King of Origami I thank you."

Olly folds himself into a smaller piece and hops into Mario's pocket.

With King Olly on board with Mario he starts to head towards the hole and Olly hops out of Mario's pocket and unfolds himself and faces Mario.

"You know Mario you'll be facing something you never faced before some threat that is using origami like this. I think you'll need some help with it." Olly says.

"Luckly you have The King of Origami on your side so you'll be blessed with my kingly advice that sound good?"

Mario nods and Olly give a approving look. "Great. Well let's going."

Olly folds back up and goes back into Mario's pocket and Mario goes through the hole.
