Paper Macho Soldier

“These macho papery things must be the source of the holes we've been seeing everywhere. Ugh!”
—Olivia , Paper Mario: The Origami King

A Paper Macho Soldier, or Paper Macho, is a type of enemy appearing in Paper Mario: The Origami King . They are giant papier-mâché versions of Folded Soldiers and are mainly responsible for creating Not-Bottomless Holes. Their name is a portmanteau of "papier-mâché" and "macho". Unlike the regular Folded Soldiers, Paper Macho Soldiers are battled while remaining in the overworld. Paper Macho Gooper Blooper, Mega Paper Macho Pokey, and Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle serve as major bosses.

To defeat Paper Macho Soldiers, Mario must hammer their weak spot marked with King Olly's insignia. If there are no weak spots remaining, a flag with a sad face will appear above it, and hammering it anywhere on its body a few more times will defeat it, releasing a lot of confetti. Most Paper Macho Soldiers attack by charging at Mario.

Scuffle Island is an arena where Mario must battle seven Paper Macho Soldiers in a row.
