Boss Fight - Paper Mario: The Origami King OST 

Ah, the holy trinity of "Origami King Boss Battle" Bosses: Sumo Bro Handaconda Last 9 players in Tetris 99

I like how the "ON button" on the sumo bro's back turns into the button saying NO.

The sumo bros are weak to fire! Me: how weak? Sumo bros: _Yes_

i love how we have a generic boss battle theme but it only plays twice and in like the same exact streamer

Me: Okay. So I fought colored pencils, rubber bands, a hole puncher, and TAPE. What’s next? Game: *H a n d*

“The Sumo Bros are weak to fire.” Oh, so they’ll just take more dam- *DIES IN ONE HIT*

I like how, based on the situation, this theme takes on a completely different meaning. During the Sumo Bros. fight, you hear the drums at the start, and it sounds like you're fighting a couple of bikers. During the Handaconda fight, you hear the electric guitar, and it sounds terrifying. It's the exact same theme, with the exact same instruments, but because of the situation it sounds completely different, and I like that.

It’s a shame that this only plays for 2 bosses that are about an hour apart from each other

Sumo Bros fight: **jams out** Handaconda fight: **jams out fearfully**

I’ve got to give Nintendo a hand, this is a headbanger.

Take this ! *H u r l h a m m e r !!!* *Handaconda:* Why, thank you.

Always a treat when Mario games go hard rock and rock it hard.

Welcome to Paper Mario the Origami King, where the fate of the world rests on a few games of rock paper scissors between a fat italian man with long arms and the equivalent to someone cutting a hand out of black paper

I made the stupid mistake of jumping on Handaconda

The fact this only plays twice is a crime against humanity

The person who disliked couldn't figure out how to beat handaconda

I absolutely love how at 1:14 you can hear a bit of the Event Battle Theme. This soundtrack continues to impress me!

Aside from the Vellumentals, the Sumo Bros. were the only Origami bosses. That's a pretty big feat.

I find it funny how this music comes from this game. To me, this literally sounds like all of Wario Land boss music stuffed into a single theme. It has the quirky chiptune of the GB games (and VBWL), the funky synth of Wario Land 4 and Wario Land: Shake It!, and the driving metal of Wario: Master of Disguise. This is the ultimate Wario boss music to my ears.

1:21 Paper Mario: Origami Slayer

Sticker Star and Color Splash had a thing for jazz, and The Origami King has a thing for hard rock. Personally, I'm not complaining about either.

The French name of this boss is just magical

Birthed by blade In the shade A predator that's far beyond ya! Fear the wrath of Handaconda!

Interesting that a “generic” boss battle theme is only used exactly two times in this game. And the second instance occurs shortly after the first one.

Damn, they be killing with this soundtrack

Most intense game of Rock Paper Scissors you will play in your life.

I love how it says “boss fight” but it only plays in two “boss fights”, yet there are so many other boss fights within the game

0:58 When I first heard this in the game, my head exploded

1:04 in my opinion the best part of the whole track

It is a CRIME this only plays twice

*HEAVY METAL CARNIVAL MUSIC INTENSIFIES*

Everytime I replay this game again, I always ask myself about why Nintendo made this INCREDIBLE generic boss theme, gave it to two bosses in the entire game, and then put those two bosses 15 minutes away from each other in the storyline.

Me: uses the fire vellumental on the sumo bro The sumo bro: understandable. Have a good day

Tetris 99: 10 Players Remain Me: *Panics to get a T-Spin or a Tetris ready*

This song, for a MINI BOSS, not even a full boss, sounds like a final boss theme, you can hear parts of the main game's leitmotif, it, for lack of a better word, sounds epic as hell, and it feels like it's now or never

Which long range attacks does handaconda counter Handaconda In sigh laughed: Yes

The first upload of this track that's actually correctly named.

God this one sounds GOOD. Thanks for uploading this, dude. Just waiting for that credits theme now. Gonna be a little sad when you finish uploading these, it was fun popping in each night and seeing what music you’ve uploaded.

Just the right amount of bite.

For a theme you hear twice, and pretty much bang next to each other, it does pretty well ngl.

I love how it’s called “boss fight” but it’s only used in 2 of the boss battles

0:59 This is where Silvagunna would put granddad

We need a Mario game and/or a Paper Mario game where all of the enemies and bosses return from previous games as your allies throughout the game, like in Kirby Star Allies. I want to wield the power of all my former enemies as my friends and allies, it doesn't happen enough!

Awesome how paper mario can make metal really great. in a nintendo way.

Me: "Oh boy, that Sumo guys seems pretty tough. I guess i have to turn on the-" Sumo Bros: *NO*

If this game ever gets DLC, this song needs to used it it. It's a crime how it only played twice.

This game isn’t perfect, but I feel like it’s brightening up the future of paper Mario if they keep going on this track of original and fun bosses, and, at least in my opinion (and people are gonna be mad), pretty good characters and a decent story.

Listening to the ost makes me want to play this game again... I always thought the music was great but the BOSS THEMES... too bad I've already played the game 3 times, one playthrough was last year

As a metal head, I approve this soundtrack.

Honestly, i'm a fan of the Sumo Bros. boss.

This could've been used more, rather than just Chapter 5. It's too good to be this underused. More terrifying minibosses, like a giant scuttlebug-spider in the web room in the Shroom Temple.

If anything in this game is actually great, then the MUSIC, wow. And I suppose the exploration and mache battles.

We all have to thank Yoshito Sekigawa, Shoh Murakami, Yoshiaki Kimura, Hiroki Morishita, and Fumihiro Isobe.

Such intensity yet it's only a miniboss theme, which is probably why it also sounds somewhat silly and it reminds me of something from SPM with how quirky it sounds at some points. Still, it's a really good theme and my only issue is that I wish it played more, especially since 1:04-1:22 is too good to only hear twice...

There were originally more sumo bros, but one of them got within 5 feet of a match and had a seizure.

The Doom is strong with this one

The music that plays when I'm fighting for my life

5/6 into the game and you finally hear the actual boss theme. I would also like to add that 1:03 - 1:21 slaps.

The most epic msuic for rock paper scissors

Sounds a little like an enhanced event battle, which kind of also makes sense in a way, since event battles are kind of mini miniboss battles

Literally only came here after hearing the Remix of this in Paper Mario Hero Mode.. my GOD

One of the craziest generic boss themes from any game i know

Now I’ve played my fair share of Pokémon... So why is sumo bro so weak to fire instead of ground?

0:59 can't stop thinking about how that tiny segment sounds like popple's theme

🎶 Birth by blade, in the shade 🎶

1:12 Mario’s the latest victim, Of my Ro-Sham-BOA CONSTRICTION! …The Koopa Troop just got their eviction, Prepare for my fingers malediction! *ROCK.* *PAPER.* *SCISSORS!* *HSSSSHHHHH!!!*

I remember playing through the Handaconda fight, landing on the Rock Paper Scissors panel, and randomly guessing because I hadn't even noticed that he shows you what he's gonna choose. I got it right by pure luck, decided it was either random or it was programmed to let you win, and proceeded to land on the panel again the following turn, after STILL not paying attention, getting it right again by pure chance. Thanks to those lucky wins, I beat it really easily, and I felt genuinely bad for Handaconda after I later found out about his telegraph.

Why doesn’t anybody like this game, this game is amazing, so underrated man :((((

they really made Roshambo a boss

I like how this just straight up sounds mean

Handacondra is definitely the most original thing to come out of Paper Mario in a long time.

Bro why does this game have only two fights that aren't vellumentals or office supplies. I would've like to hear this more than dreading an upcoming vellumental fight.

3rd best Boss music

1:03 is the best part

Now for Nintendo's favourite boss enemy: Hand.

The music goes SOOOOOO HAAAAAAAAAARD in this game 😈

Its all fun and games until shaow queen brother comes back for revenge.

i heard the guitar at the sumo bros fight and immediately thought the battle would get me a game over at least twice it didnt

Origami king using hard rock is amazing. I love its music style. Hard rock makes it feel so intense too

Rocking!

Paper Mario has better music than smash music You heard me!

me: ok i'll just throw this shiny hammer at it HANDACONDA: THATS NO GOOD

Everyone gangasta until a hand-looking snake sneaks by

I found myself face to face with a Fire Sumo!

Hey, when did I start playing Splatoon?

Birth by blade In the shade

Oh my gosh! Look at that hand!

“Catch these Hands” has never been so literal

Random trick I literally just learned yesterday. In the event that you take just enough time that Handaconda successfully baits you and changes his move just before you can react, you can intentionally mistime the actually QTE to get the upper hand again.😅

If I heard this in any other context other than it playing for the first time in-game, I genuinely would have never guessed that this is the boss theme in a Mario game. TOK's OST as a whole doesn't sound like Mario music. And I am not complaining about that at all, I would rather this soundtrack not feel bound by the expectations of a Mario soundtrack than try to "Mario" it up, given how non-standard it is not just as a Paper Mario game, but as a Mario game in general.

1:04 this part hits different

Give me my panels back >:(

it's so weird how they made a dedicated boss theme and then only used it for 2 bosses

Never thought a Mario game would make me play the air guitar, but here we are.

Those tall cut-out guys were fucking *TERRIFYING*. Genuinely unnerved me.

Putting this on 2x speed makes it sound like a proper heavy metal song.

Is that what Regular Origami Soldier are hearing when Mario is fighting them ?

I was so disappointed when there didn't end up being a cloud/storm/air vellumental. You could put it in like a "Air Vellumental Forest" or something like the Spring of Jungle Mist

I didn’t expect the fire to one shot the sumo bros

Did anyone else break Scissors free immediately just to have an extra challenge? It surprised me that his moves were 1HKOs when I did that but I beat it on the first try with some luck and quick reflexes
