Paper Mario: The Origami King A peaceful world-line where everyone is alive and has mellowed out.
This is an 'if' route for the game Paper Mario: The Origami King. Through Olivia's wish upon the thousand cranes, the tragic fates of being defeated or separated have been rewritten into a peaceful reality. For some reason, everyone has ended up living together in a share house. Please enjoy this peaceful Origami Life where even former enemies have become friendly. Note: Rubber Band was being treated as a shipping fanatic by fans, which was a bit pitiful, so I've completely removed any shipping elements here.

The ancient sailor that Professor Toad was looking for. He is a Toad, but looks quite strong. He often uses English words like 'Freedom.' However, that's likely just his character; he's actually local. He seems like a joke character at first, but he was actually frozen in ice for threatening people to steal the Sea Tower.
