Paper Mario: The Origami King's announcement this morning was a major surprise, but the trailer's darker tone might have been even more surprising than the game's reveal. When the trailer begins, Peach slowly comes on-screen, but as she departs from a darkened room behind her, it becomes increasingly obvious that something terrible has happened to the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. The scene is made all the creepier as she asks Mario whether or not he will "crease" himself, in order to be reborn like her. It's a surprisingly dark moment for a series that tends to put a huge emphasis on humor, and Mario fans were clearly taken aback by it!

“Will you crease yourself and be reborn” is such a fantastically horrifying line, especially with the dialogue around it, and coming from a familiar character. Wow

Definitely up there.

"Will you crease yourself and be reborn, like me?" might be the best opening line to a video game trailer I've ever seen. #Papermario

No one was expecting this from a Paper Mario game!

Origami Peach saying "Will you crease yourself and be reborn, like me?" will live with me for a long time. https://t.co/HnmZaGfKBA
