Nintendo partners with John Collins to release a Paper Mario-themed paper airplane guide, enhancing the launch of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch.


Nintendo Launches Paper Airplane Tutorial

Nintendo has found an imaginative way to celebrate the release of "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door" on the Nintendo Switch – a special paper airplane tutorial. The creative initiative is not just a nod to the paper-crafted aesthetic of the game series but also a hands-on activity that brings fans into the fold of Paper Mario’s magical world.

The tutorial features John Collins, known as "the paper airplane guy," a wizard in the field of paper aerodynamics, who had previously set a world record for paper airplane flight. Collins has designed a special paper airplane inspired by the transformation abilities of Mario in the game. The new design not only captivates with its Super Mario charm but is also poised to glide smoothly, much like its video game counterpart.

For those eager to dive into this paper crafting activity, Nintendo has made it incredibly simple and accessible. Fans can download and print a free template of the Paper Mario-themed paper airplane. The printable template is crafted to ensure that once folded, it represents the unique elements of the beloved game character. Follow-up support is provided by Collins through a comprehensive step-by-step tutorial video that guides enthusiasts from a flat sheet of paper to a soaring masterpiece. This interactive approach not only promotes an engaging do-it-yourself project but also ties back to the enchanting elements of Mario’s in-game transformations.
