Tape (Paper Mario: The Origami King)

The Tape is a boss in the game Paper Mario: The Origami King. Also called the Shifty Sticker, he works for the Legion of Stationery and thus King Olly.
== Profile ==
=== Physical description ===
The Tape is a living yellow tape roll who sits in a purple dispenser. The King Olly symbol can be seen inside his roll and on the dispenser's sides.
=== Personality traits ===
Olivia hates his guts the most, describing him as a no-good, cheating gangster. It has a short temper as seen with his reaction to her assumption that the Legion of Stationery's members were office supplies that animated and took on "tacky" personalities, as he decided to rough up the heroic party for what she said.
=== Speech ===
The Tape speaks with a stereotypical Brooklyn accent, slurring his speech with words like "goil" for "gurl" and "hoit" for "hurt".
==History==
The Tape was responsible for trapping the Toads on the side of the Sea Tower. At the top, he bumps into Paper Mario and Olivia at which point they square off. Upon defeat, the Tape unconvincingly begged for his opponents to leave him alone, claiming to have redeemed himself, but it burst.
== In Paper Mario: The Origami King ==
The Tape is fought in the Sea Tower, where he guards the purple origami streamer.
===Combat===
The Tape has around 400 hit points and cannot be jumped on due to his Sticky Snag ability. The Tape's defense mechanism has him transfer any special icons to a chest.
===Phase 1===
The Tape mainly attacks by trying to crush Paper Mario with his dispenser during his first phase. Paper Mario has to damage him via his hammer during this phase. Destroying the Tape's case leads to his second phase. This phase has around 170 hit points.
===Phase 2===
Now exposed, the Tape will retaliate by sticking several rings and rows together to limit Paper Mario's choices (averted by using the Fire Vellumental). He will also try to crush Paper Mario's body beneath his own. Paper Mario has to use his 1,000-Fold Arm's to pull on the Tape's tape to damage him. This phase has 184 hit points.
===Phase 3===
After enough damage, the Tape will enter the third and final phase, where he charges his Sticky Drill for 54 damage, but this can be countered by using the Fire Vellumental to burn him. This phase has 46 hit points.
