<p>Last week, a <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/07/a_game-breaking_paper_mario_the_origami_king_bug_has_been_discovered">game-breaking bug was discovered</a> in <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/paper_mario_the_origami_king">Paper Mario: The Origami King</a></strong>, which had the ability to <em>completely</em> “destroy” a player’s save and progress about 20-30 hours into their adventure.</p>
<p>As we previously explained, the bug is tied to the area where you visit four spas in the Shangri-Spa area in order to gain access to a secret fifth spa:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The issue is that once the NPC guarding the entrance asks to see the membership card required to enter, it is removed from your inventory entirely – so if you exit the area for whatever reason, you can no longer gain access because you don’t have the membership card, nor does the NPC remember taking it from you; it’s also not possible to obtain a replacement.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>There’s no need to worry, though – as Nintendo has heard about the issue and is working on an immediate fix. Polygon got confirmation of this from an official representative of the company:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“We are aware of reports about issues affecting some players of <em>Paper Mario: The Origami King</em>. We are working to resolve these issues and plan to address them in a software update. We apologize for any inconvenience.”</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<p>There’s no exact word on when this software update will arrive, but given Nintendo’s <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/07/animal_crossing_glitch_prevents_players_from_walking_across_their_zen_bridges">recent response time to glitches</a> in <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/animal_crossing_new_horizons">Animal Crossing: New Horizons</a></strong> and various other first-party titles, we shouldn’t have to wait too long at all.</p>
