Around the release of Paper Mario: The Origami King, we heard from producer Kensuke Tanabe that the team is no longer able to modify Mario characters or make original characters that extend to the Mario universe. Tanabe has now commented on the situation further as part of an interview with GamesRadar.
Tanabe mentioned that the developers can’t “graphically represent individual characteristics” like age and gender when it comes to the Toad NPCs. He added that writer Taro Kudo “has been grappling with this difficult challenge since Paper Mario: Sticker Star”.
Tanabe’s full words:

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door composer led the way on The Origami King’s music
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Yoshito Sekigawa is a name that Nintendo fans may be unaware of, but he’s been with the company for almost two decades. One of Sekigawa’s earliest and most notable roles was for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door as he was only one of two staffers credited for that game’s music. Sekigawa did some sound work for Sticker Star and Color Splash, but finally returned to the series in a major way for its latest release.
In the credits for Paper Mario: The Origami King, it’s revealed that Sekigawa was the sound director / composition lead. He was also one of the people involved with composition. Essentially, what all of this means is that Sekigawa led the way on The Origami King’s music, and he contributed tunes to a Paper Mario game for the first Paper Mario game since The Thousand-Year Door.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Paper Mario: The Origami King players find game-breaking glitch
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Paper Mario: The Origami King players have encountered a significant glitch in the game. Unfortunately, it blocks any sort of progression if encountered, and your save file will essentially be rendered useless.
It’s possible to encounter the glitch at Shangri-Spa, which is accessed after battling the first four streamers. You’ll be given a VIP ticket to access the Spring of Rainbows. At the entrance, a character will permit entry, but takes the ticket and it’s removed from your inventory. That means if you happen to leave the area, you can’t return. There’s no way to get the card back, and it seems as though the only option you have currently is to delete your save file.
Here’s a closer look from Nintendo Unity:
