The promo site for Paper Mario: The Origami King is up with a new “Movie” section showing how to create the origami characters from the game in real life. These instructional videos provide step-by-step guides on how to fold up paper to make perfect recreations of the in-game characters. 

Also added to Nintendo’s site is an instruction manual for the game that is meant to be printed and placed in the game case. A PDF of the Japanese version has been released in full color and can be accessed here. It is unsure whether or not an English manual will be released but there is still a lot of cool art to look through in this version, so make sure to check it out!

After fans came across a potential Twitter account for Super Mario’s 35th anniversary, they’ve again been poking around the social media website to find other possible hidden user names from Nintendo. That sleuthing may now have resulted in a discovery tied to F-Zero.

The account in question is @FZeroJP. Just like the Super Mario account, it has the same “aaaaaaa” handle. By attempting to reset the account password, we can see that an email would be sent to n*******.**.**, which could very well be nintendo.co.jp – Nintendo’s Japanese website. We also know that the account was registered on March 16, so it’s not someone simply trying to piggyback off of the Super Mario findings from earlier this week.

Update 2: Jenga: Super Mario is now up on Amazon here.

Update: The new Monopoly release, officially titled Monopoly Super Mario Celebration Edition, is now available on Amazon.

There hasn’t been any concrete news yet as to how Nintendo itself is celebrating Super Mario’s 35th anniversary, but we have a couple of announcements from Hasbro. The company is preparing new versions of Monopoly and Jenga to celebrate the big milestone.

For Monopoly, the board game will have players buying, selling, and trading locations from Super Mario games between 1985 and present day. Toad houses and Princess Peach’s castles will be replacing houses and hotels. Additionally, it’ll come with an electronic component of the Question Block featuring sound effects “that can change a player’s luck”.
