- “They live underground and pop up only to throw spinner wrenches at folks…especially folks named Mario.”
- —Enemy description, Paper Mario: The Origami King
Origami Rocky Wrenches are an origami variant of Rocky Wrench who appear as enemies in Paper Mario: The Origami King. like the other Folded Soldiers, origami Rocky Wrenches were originally just standard Rocky Wrenches. However, King Olly would fold the Rocky Wrenches into origami and brainwash them in order for them to work for him.
Origami Rocky Wrenches exclusively appear in the Spring of Rainbows, where they can be found in the small cave area at the beginning. In the overworld, the origami Rocky Wrenches function their normal counterparts from the previous Paper Mario games, as they pop up and throw wrenches at Mario. Mario can avoid these wrenches by either jumping over them or destroying them with his hammer. If Mario either walks away from the area or uses the Lamination Suit, the origami Rocky Wrench will go back in its hole until it sees Mario again.
In battle, origami Rocky Wrenches have three main attacks they can use. Origami Rocky Wrenches can use "Pass Belt," in which the group of them hide in their manholes to pop up under Mario and fling him in the air one by one, dealing damage each time they launch him (though Mario can block each time one of the origami Rocky Wrenches flings them to reduce damage). Origami Rocky Wrenches can also use "Wrench Throw," in-which one of them will throw a singular wrench at Mario. Lastly, origami Rocky Wrenches can use "Spanner Throw," in-which one of them throw a gold-colored wrench in an arch (similar to the hammers thrown by Hammer Bros.).
