Background
Hole Punch, The Disco Devil is a member of the Legion of Stationery who guards the end of the yellow streamer and serves as the boss of the Temple of Shrooms in Paper Mario: The Origami King. He is an oversized, yellow hole puncher featuring King Olly's logo on his black lid.
As Mario ventured through the temple he found many faceless toads until he made his way into a disco room with a large disco ball, DJ Toad, and an origami Goomba, Shy Guy, and Boo out on the dance floor. Hole Punch behind a large set of doors called out and stopped the music and demanding a better piece to groove to and threatened to punch out DJ Toad's face, as he did with all the other Toads in the temple. DJ Toad begs for a second chance and asks Mario to find disks to play better music.
When Mario played Thrills at Night, Hole Punch became satisfied and requested an audience to join on the dance floor. DJ Toad then gave Professor Toad a boom box, allowing him and Mario to explore the temple and pick up the faceless Toads within it.
Once all of the Toads were found and returned to the disco room, they hit the dance floor, and finally got the attention of Hole Punch, who burst out of his room and slammed the dance floor, frightening all the Toads away. He challenges Mario to a literal face-off on the dance floor. Upon Hole Punch's defeat, he counted down from three and exploded, launching the faces he hole punched from the Toads, returning everyone back to normal. Mario then used Magic Circle that appeared to destroy the yellow streamer. Doing so dropped the disco ball which contained the sun, which was now able to return to the sky and bring light to the world again.

- ↑ "If you're familiar with things like Popeye and some of the old comic characters, you would oftentimes see this cast of characters that takes on different roles depending on the comic or cartoon," Miyamoto said. "They might be businessman in one [cartoon] or a pirate in another. Depending on the story that was being told, they would change roles. So, to a certain degree, I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games."
