Scissors (Paper Mario)

“	Let's get this straight: I WILL annihilate you...but I don't see why we can't have some fun first. After all, where's the challenge in slicing you to strips immediately? Therefore, I shall grant you... a slight advantage.	„
	~ Scissors upon engaging Mario in battle

Paper Mario: The Origami King - The Duel-Bladed Duelist

Background

Scissors, The Dual-Bladed Duelist, is a member of the Legion of Stationery who guards the end of the green streamer and is the boss of Bowser's Castle in Paper Mario: The Origami King, being the last member guarding the end of a streamer to be fought. Scissors is a pair of green right-handed scissors with King Olly's insignia on it, and is stated to be King Olly's top lieutenant amongst the Legion of Stationery.

Scissors first appears slicing Bowser Jr. to pieces outside the entrance of Bowser's Castle when he first tries to gain entry into the castle. Later, it is shown assaulting the Koopa Troop, slicing them into tiny pieces and sticking their faces to a Paper Macho Buzzy Beetle, including that of Kamek's, to create a Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle. Scissors narrowly misses cutting Mario when they first meet, claiming it would be uninteresting if Mario was immediately cut to pieces. It then sends out the Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle as a warm up for Mario before engaging him directly.

Unlike the other Legion of Stationery members except for Stapler, Scissors does not say anything when defeated; instead, it simply falls flat and explodes when Olivia pokes it over. Kamek, Bowser Jr., and the Koopa Troop are all restored to normal after Scissors is defeated.

Other

Standard Tactics: Scissors usually blitzes their opponents and cuts them to shreds. For opponents deemed worthy such as Mario, Scissors BFRs their opponent onto a ringed battlefield, it then puts on it's sheath to give their opponent a slight advantage. If the cover is broken, Scissors will no longer hold back and use strictly their ultimate attack, Final Cut.

Weaknesses: Scissors will challenge itself when fighting strong opponents such as Mario so it puts a scissor sheath on itself to limit it's power.
