A few weeks ago, a game-breaking bug was discovered in Paper Mario: The Origami King which could potentially ruin a player’s save and progress about 20-30 hours into their journey.
As we explained at the time, this problem was tied to the area in the game where you visit four spas in the Shangri-Spa area in order to access a secret fifth spa. Nintendo said it was aware of the issues affecting players and said it would address the situation in a future software update.
Version 1.0.1 of The Origami King has now been released, and sure enough, this update resolves this issue. If you had already encountered this issue, you’ll now be able to proceed normally as well. In addition to this, it’s resolved the glitch tied to the Black Shy Guy not showing up in the game’s gallery.
Below are the full patch notes, courtesy of Nintendo’s official support page:
Ver. 1.0.1 (Released August 5, 2020)
