I cracked such a big smile when he unsheathed himself as if he were a sword.

I love how you need to press A exactly when the insta-kill attack is supposed to kill you. It really adds to the tension and stress.

I love the headcanon that Paper Mario decided to jump over the attack because he learned how to dodge in Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam.

I absolutely love this song, and not just because it slaps, but because it so PERFECTLY captures Scissor's personality; He appears to be an honorable gentleman compared to the other boss fights, but in reality he is totally deranged. He cut out people's faces and put them onto a macho beetle. He pretends to give you a fair fight by sheathing himself, when in reality he's just taunting you and laughing at you because he knows he'll win. He's toying with you. Absolutely psychotic, just like the song.

Man, this fight wasn't hard, but the fact that you're fighting this guy who will literally decapitate you if you don't dodge its attack makes it a really unnerving experience.

When you think you can "carefully aim" your 1000-Fold-Arms but Mario is like *_SHEATHUS DELETUS_*

The theme of the scariest pair of scissors in a video game

One of the first things you get in Sticker Star is one of the last bosses in this game Ironic

Scissors' personality was not at all what I was expecting. I figured with the creepy cutout monsters and the horrifying face monster, he'd be some kind of deranged psychopath. Instead he ended up being the most honourable member of the Legion.

"Scissors are the natural enemy of both paper and origami"

I like that ONE attack where Scissors is like: “Eh, f*** it” And he just immediately kills you without doing a stylish flip or anything. Whatever gets the job done!

This boss wasn't ultimately the most difficult, but damn, was it unsettling. I didn't know scissors could be so scary!

Did you know that Scissors is Olly’s most trusted guard? Scissors is also the Leader of the Legion of Stationery Bam there’s your useless trivia for the day

"That scissor is a pointy enemy right? It sure would be very wise to use those LEGENDARY Iron Boots to hit hard!" Famous last words

My experience with the scissors of death: “Don’t break the cover? Okay, maybe the arms will hurt it without breaking the cover.” “Okay, that sucks, so maybe jumping on it will do somethi-“ “Alright glad I still had that 1-Up from the Battle Lab handy to correct my horribly dumb mistake. Now I’ll just dodge its instakill and I should be go-“ “You know what? I think this game is redeeming the Paper Mario franchise. Story’s fine, soundtrack is a banger, humor is impressive by my standards, and the bosses give you PTSD. What more could you ask for?”

I love all the League of Stationery bosses, but The Dual-Blade Duelist is probably the most intimidating of them all in terms of build up. He makes these creepy cutout soldiers, that terrifying Handaconda boss, cuts all the faces of Bowser's minions on a Paper Macho Buzzy Beetle (with the faces still being alive, mind you), and completely slices Bowser Jr. to shreds earlier in the area. And this cocky as hell guy decides to toy with you during the fight by covering his blades to give you a "fair advantage" until he gets bored or if you actually break the case. With a move that will completely one-shot you if you're not careful. The way he unsheathes himself is also pretty freaking cool. This theme is also a personal favorite of mine next to The Fanged Fastener, The Disco Devil, and The Shifty Sticker. It's fast-paced, gets straight to the point, the violins carry this sense of urgency with the guitars adding a lot of intensity. Followed with the quirky Paper Mario-esque instruments that the series is known for. Especially around 0:43 - 1:06. I know scissors can be pretty dangerous in real life, but in a world where everything is made of paper...it's everyone's nightmare.

Music:yes Battle system:yes (in my opinion) Story:yes Characters:yes This game is epic (in my opinion)

*Hint Envelope:* "If jumping over its attacks is too stressful, try freezing it instead." *Mario:* "Nooooo! You can't give that as a hint if it keeps cutting up the Ice Vellumental circles!" *Scissors:* "Hahaha Cutting Board go Brrrrr"

This is my favorite of the entire legion of stationery. Scissors has a presence throughout the entire arc much unlike Tape before it, (SPOILERS AHEAD) first by slicing up Bowser Jr., then by creating the paper cutout soldiers, slicing up all of Bowser's minions, and kidnapping Olivia. Then you get 2 whole boss fights before Scissors between both Handaconda and the Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle. And then this boss fight is really good, and it's all topped off by the Scissors' anime villain personality. I love it.

Top 3 LoS bosses: 3) Hole punch 2) Tape 1) "The dual-bladed dualist" Scissors

Imagine telling someone that one of this game's bosses is an anime villain pair of scissors.

This song captures fighting a rightfully cocky creature that can kill you in one hit perfectly Seriously though this song is too epic, its probably my favorite boss theme in the entire game.

These aren't your ordinary Sticker Star scissors. This time, THEY WANT TO SEE YOU BLEED!!!

I don't know how they did it, but they managed to make a pair of scissors the scariest gaming antagonist this year. Seriously, everything this game throws at you is so damn creative, I have nothing but praise for it.

- Scissors is called the “Dual-Bladed Duelist” - Has a green coloration - Is the fifth major boss you fight - Their fight music is fast-paced and tense Y-Youmu?

When I first fought this thing, I thought that the Iron Jump could still be used to bypass the "sharp" aspect of this boss. He sure... snipped that idea in the bud.

The scissors were _terrifying_

I love how the electric guitar is the most apparent instrument in Scissor's theme in particular! That's really good character theming when you think about it! Put it like this: What is a term used to describe when someone is going absolute ham on a guitar?... Rocking out?... How about _shredding?_ Get it now? Good attention to detail in the soundtrack!

The stationary bosses really weren’t pulling ANY punches

I had so much anxiety fighting this boss! One wrong move and your Instant dead. I don’t want to see my home boy Mario chopped in two! If I was a kid playing this, this would of scared the shit out of me like the Piano from the Ghost House.

This boss was really intense when you break the cover on the first turn. Every time Scissors does his Final Cut attack, i felt how my heart skipped a beat

If I ever have children, I'm going to teach them to never jump on scissors.

Holy shit the shred on 0:59

How many individual hairs have gotten broken off of the bows of the violins during the making of this Soundtrack?😂

I love how this song PERFECTLY represents scissors' personality and the danger of his fight, while also retaining that general goofiness that the Paper Mario series usually has.

Let's jump on him! Surely my shiny iron boots will cancel the damage Scissors: how about Game Over?

I care not what an Arlo or an anyone says about ‘where Paper Mario has gone’; this is the best song in Paper Mario. I say that as a hardcore TTYD fan. Hey, maybe that remake will have a version that tops this, but uhhhhh doubtful.

Personality #5: ~The Dual-Bladed Duelist~ Full Name: Scissors Classification: The Knight (ง'̀-'́)ง Peeves: Amateurs, Dishonorable Fools, Poor Maintenance, Cheaters Pleasures: Honor, Fair Fights, Execution, Well-Maintained Blades, Cutting, Dramatically Unsheathing Blades Crimes: Attempted Murder, Torture, Mass Mutilation Attacks: Dull Edge, Safe Tee, Cutting Board, Final Cut (Base), Final Cut (Feint), Final Cut (Drop) Killed By: Freezing Him, Tossing Him In The Air, Causing The Ice To Smash, Making Him Dizzy, And Pummeling His Pivot Point/Wombo Combo

this theme magnificently reflects the battle where one wrong move will lead to your instant death.

I still cant believe 0:42-1:05 is a real piece of music that actually exists

While you were having festivals I was studying the blade

hey does the 1,000 fold arms still break the thing even if I angle it away? _YES_

Wow, this was incredible. Amazing buildup with hands on da and the cutout soliders and this boss was terrifying because you knew it could kill you in an instant.

It’s bosses like this that really get my blood pumping!

0:37 hey watch your head mario one touch of thoes blades and all your health will go! *_i am the reaper that comes in the night_*

Even the battle music is panicking, and you are fighting a piece of bloody stationary. God I love Paper Mario.

its undeniable that scissors has a presence in this game, as soon as you see him for the first time it's terrifying, in a world full of paper, you're about to fight a pair of scissors, he's basically the reaper in this universe

This game honestly has one of the best Mario osts ever

The fact that every "Big Boss" has its own theme makes it more memorable

Scissors is a full-on anime antagonist

Some people think this fight was easy, some people think it was hard I’m just vibing to the tunes

Scissors: To show you the power of flex tape... (Uses final cut) I sawed this plumber in half!

Ah, so paper really can beat scissors, so long as you don't get that...oddly violent scene of Mario getting sliced in two. Still, this is my favorite boss in the game along with my favorite theme of the Legion of Stationary tied with Tape. There's not really a particular part that I really like about this theme, unlike Tape's theme, I just think it sounds solid overall.

Virgin Sephiroth vs. Chad Scissors

I could picture Michael Dorn voicing this thing. And the best part is, when you win... he's just so shocked that he keels over and dies, no final speech like the others, he's just STUNNED.

Everybody gangster until *you accidentally break the cover.*

"You did it, man! First paper to ever defeat scissors. They're gonna write a book about it, then probably a movie that everyone will hate." - Hammer Bro, 2020

i honestly expected the 1'000 fold arms finisher to be mario breaking the dude in half but it was still my favorite boss in the game period.

Top 10 Anime Villains 10. Scissors 9. Scissors 8. Scissors 7. Scissors 6. Scissors 5. Scissors 4. Scissors 3. Scissors 2. Scissors And finally, at number 1...... 1. Scissors

KingK's review brought me here. How does the song go so hard oh my God give this person a raise!!!

"Maybe Thousand fold arms will reach above this counter gimmick" * smashes sheathe once * * stops s m a s h i n g * * still breaks sheathe * * gets killed immediately *

I'll never understand why of all games pmtok would have such a monster of an ost. There's no reason for this game to have 200+ songs/variations, and for them to be this consistently high quality

My friends: what's wrong? Why you afraid about this green scissor that im holding it. Me: nothing My brain: *PTSD intensifies*

Ah yes, anxiety. I met it in Black and White with the low hp theme, the Sans fight, and every time I'm in Electrical. Now it went from 1-100 real freaking quick.

I’ve managed to beat the game 100% without dying or using the boosters, and this fight was the most nerve wracking thing in the game.

Seeing Mario jump over the scissors for the first time was one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced in gaming

"You're weak, you're frail, you're paper thin, you're never gonna win! You'll be but scraps of paper to be tossed into the bin!"

I see this comment somewhere so I share it here too. It is ironic how we fight a SCISSOR with a PAPER on a ROCK theme.

When you realize this fight was preparing you for the final attack sequence against Olly...

At this point in the game, it now makes you afraid of scissors

scissors and hole punch's theme are both number 1 why are they so good and this music truly gives a vibe that the end is close either a game over or the game ending

*EXTREME DANGER!!!!* Do *NOT* break that cover!!! Aim your attacks CAREFULLY!

What do you get high on? 1. Life 2. Drugs 3. *The strings in Dual-Bladed Duelist*

The game was like "DON'T BREAK IT" and I just was like "Why beat around the bush?" So I just broke it anyways. It was too hard to avoid.

this song is a BOP

Scissors is a true warrior. He dies standing up, and you don't realize it until Olivia just pokes him and he falls.

I love how even when you're trying your best to avoid breaking the scissor's cover he just goes "eh, screw this handicap bull" halfway through the battle and goes all out anyway lol. Too bad he dies so easily.

the riff at 0:54 did not Need to go that hard, but it sure Did

100% the best song in the game.

2:21 You can’t dodge forever, You will soon succumb. One touch of my blade, And you’ll go numb! I’m Scissors, You are paper, You know what I do. *OMAE WA MOU SHINDEU!*

Scissors: You know what?! I'm sick of people of complaining about me aiding Mario in battles so, you know what; why do I have to help Mario out in battle when I can be villain and I'll be the most hardest one out of all of them! Suck my ass Paper Mario fanbase!!! Thearapist:......right? And um... why do you feel this way again?

*EXTREME DANGER WARNING!!* Do *NOT* break that cover!! Aim your attacks CAREFULLY!!

If he wasn't playing fair, he'd be the strongest Paper Mario character.

They didn’t have to go this hard. You’re fighting a pair of scissors.

I hate when my pair of scissors tries to impale me.

This was my introduction to Origami King's OST. The violins and guitar are both shredding like crazy in this song. I can say this is one of the best battle themes in all of Paper Mario. Perhaps the best Mario RPG battle theme of all.

I don't know if it's the same in original version, but in French, this Scissors does poetry when it speaks. And it's pretty funny. Too bad it's a really short boss...

Once again I’ve cut a worthless object

I love whatever like, drunk synth or whatever it is is used at 0:25 it sounds fucking awesome

This is the best music in this game and I can’t be convinced otherwise.

Crazy how even the toads in the back are scared of the scissors everyone know this can destroy the paper mario universe with one shot And the mario proceed to beat it

2:21-2:34 Best Part Ever

Your fate is approaching, Mario!

This is a perfect boss fight music for something that is in a way, your literal worst nightmare!

This is the best piece of music from a video game.

I wasn't prepared for the battle theme for a pair of scissors to be one of my favourite boss battle themes in gaming

It’s funny how the scissors were actually used to help Mario in Sticker Star and now he has to fight them

I don't care what any TTYD or 64 fanboys say, this is THE best piece of music in THE best Paper Mario game.

Sticker Star is tired of everyone hating the game so it took one of it's most iconic things and made it a boss (if only the fan was a boss though 😆)

This sounds kinda like a Touhou theme for a Paper Mario battle I LOVE IT!
