Paper Mario: The Origami King update

The game Paper Mario: The Origami King was updated on August 22nd 2020, as a part of the 35th anniversary for the Super Mario franchise. The update includes a few changes in order to make the gameplay experience more enjoyable and streamlined. 
===General===
*The constant reminders to save the game or to save someone, have been cut down significantly.
*The three game breaking glitches have been fixed.
===Gameplay===
====Overworld====
*Mario now has the ability to run.
*Olivia remains outside of Mario's pockets at all times.
*The amount of Confetti that the player gets, is no longer found in the overworld, instead, enemies drop confetti. Due to this change, certain areas that require a lot of coneffti have hidden enemies that have to be found within said areas. 
====Battle System ====
There is now a third incentive to fight enemies, which is to Level Up. Levelling up in this game is different due to the way the game plays out. Fighting enemies, Paper Mache or Origami, gives Mario, Hammer Scraps. These work differently to what they used to be in Paper Mario: Color Splash. Hammer Scraps act as a means of upgrading either Mario's Power Stats or Defense Stats. In order to Level Up, Mario must collect a certain amount of Hammer Scraps that the game demands, and once he suprases that number, he will have the option to select which stat to upgrade by ten points. In normal battles, the amount of Hammer Scraps to be recieved will be doubled up, if Mario gets a "Perfect Lineup". 
In normal battles, Mario has the option to let his companion take their turn before him. Even after the companion leaves for the rest of the game, Mario can use the "Buddy Phone", to call a selected companion he's already met and attack the enemy for him or act as a sheild against the enemies, having a range of new and old attacks and even counter attacks:
*Bob-omb: In his ghostly form, he can explode and respawn, dealing 40 damage to every enemy in the field. He can bump into any enemy who tries to attack Mario. 
*Professor Toad: Using his shovel, Professor Toad can dig up Coins that deal 30 damage, Dynamite that deals 50 damage to all the enemies and items for Mario to use in battle. He can throw rocks at the enemies who try to attack Mario from the front. 
*Kamek: Using his broom, Kamek can swoop away the enemies off of the ring and into the audience, allowing them to be beaten up, dealing 75 damage. Using his magic, he can form a sheild around Mario against the enemies that lasts for two turns. 
*Feelin' Fungi: Acting like a circus act, the four Green Toads can preform aerobatics in order to beat up the enemies, the amount of damage varying from 40-50. Forming as a ring around Mario, they can block any attacks from Mario.
*SSASO (Shangri-Spa Accessory Shop owner): Acting like a regular Snifit, SSASO can shoot bullets out of his nozzle, dealing 50 damage to only the enemies within a line. He can do the same when protecting Mario.
*Luigi: Basically acting the same as Mario, Luigi uses his Jump and Hammer attacks in order to damage the enemies. He can also use his hammer in order to defend Mario against the enemies.
==Level, Event and Dialogue Changes==
===Red Streamer===
====Whispering Woods====
*The mention of collecting confetti has been omitted in order to reflect the change of having battles being the only way to get confetti.
====Toad Town====
*Olivia no longer stops Mario from getting to the Save Block before fighting the first Paper Mache Goomba in the area.
*Before going into the pipe that leads to the moat of Peach's Castle, a Blue Toad stops Mario and tells him he left his "Buddy Phone" on the table of his house and gives it to him.
**"Hey Mario! Sorry to stop you from doing whatever you were doing, but I just remembered that you left your Buddy Phone on the kitchen table at my house.  I almost forgot about it this morning and was going to go to your place but I forgot that I had to refund my life insurance premium." -Green Toad
**"A phone? Dunno how that will come in handy"- Olivia
===Blue Streamer===
====Carriage Way====
*On the ride to Autumn Mountain, Bob-omb gives Mario his phone number, just to stay in touch in case anything happens to either of the two.
**"You know we should probably exchange phone numbers in case something happens to either one of us." -Bob-omb
**"Oh, so that's really what a phone does! I thought it was for selfies or something!"-Olivia
**"......" -Bob-omb
