Though received fairly well at launch, Nintendo’s Paper Mario: The Origami King suffered from a rather serious game-breaking bug. This bug occurred at the Spring of Rainbows in Shangri-Spa and would effectively prevent the player from progressing forward. Nintendo said it was working on a fix and thankfully, update 1.0.1 resolves the issue.
The good news is that players who already ran into the issue can thus progress normally. Other fixes include an issue in Shroom City where players couldn’t hit the Toad situated at the top of the fountain. Once again, those who faced the issue already should be clear to proceed.
