A Relaxing Bench in Autumn Mountain.
- “Hm? Mario, look at you! You've gone from pooped to pepped. I'm so glad!”
- —Olivia, Paper Mario: The Origami King
Relaxing Benches are objects that appear in Paper Mario: The Origami King. When Mario sits on one, all of his HP gets restored and he and Olivia often engage in a conversation. They can be found in numerous locations throughout the game.
Locations
Locations of some Relaxing Benches.
Red streamer area
The first Relaxing Bench is found in the Toad camp of Whispering Woods. Mario is required to sit on this bench to proceed, and Olivia explains how benches heal him. Another is found in Toad Town outside of the Battle Lab and is initially a Not-Bottomless Hole. While there are still Paper Macho Goombas around, Olivia comments it is hard to relax with monsters nearby.
The last Relaxing Bench in the red streamer area is under a shelter in Overlook Mountain also initially a Not-Bottomless Hole. Olivia comments how she feels relaxed by the sound of the water.
Blue streamer area
Two Relaxing Benches can be found in Autumn Mountain. The first one is near the Canned-Food Par-tay Trio, where while Bob-omb is in the party, Olivia wonders if the air in Autumn Mountain is also red, and after Bob-omb's sacrifice, Olivia reminisces on how Bob-omb always ran ahead and got lost. The second bench is outside the satellite office, where while Bob-omb is in the party, Olivia questions why leaves fall off trees in autumn, and after Bob-omb's sacrifice, Olivia reminisces on how they kept loosing Bob-omb in Chestnut Valley.
One Relaxing Bench is found in Shogun Studios outside of the Tranquil Pipes Teahouse. While Bob-omb is in the party, he and Olivia wonder why Shogun Studios has its name, and after Bob-omb's sacrifice, Olivia reminisces on their time in the park with Bob-omb.
Yellow streamer area
One Relaxing Bench is found in the starting area of Sweetpaper Valley next to the boating dock. Before Olivia gets crushed by the boulder, she comments on how for every mountain fold there is a valley fold, with Bob-omb remarking he would love to climb up a mountain someday. After Bob-omb's sacrifice, Olivia comments on his presence continuing to watch over them.
In Breezy Tunnel, the log Olivia is found on acts like a Relaxing Bench after she is cheered up.
One Relaxing Bench is found in Shroom City near the hotel. While the sun is gone, Olivia comments how the city is still bright while the desert is dark, and after the sun is restored, Professor Toad informs Mario and Olivia how the sun was sacred to Shroom City.
Another Relaxing Bench is found deep in the Fire Vellumental Cave, where Olivia comments on how even the bench feels burning hot.
Purple streamer area
One Relaxing Bench is found on the far side of Club Island where Mario must bring Feelin' Fungi. Another is found in Diamond Island outside of the Trial of Courage, where the nearby Toad statue says to take a break and have a snack.
Green streamer area
One Relaxing Bench is found in the plaza of Shangri-Spa, where Olivia comments on the amount of hot springs in the area and Kamek states he cares solely about Bowser Jr.'s well-being.
Origami Castle
Before Peach's Castle transforms into Origami Castle, one Relaxing Bench is found in the only accessible room from the entrance hall, where Bowser notices the nearby huge hole in the wall, and Olivia recognizes the shape from the wall Luigi was saved from. The last Relaxing Bench is found outside of King Olly's throne room and is sat on automatically, where Mario and Bowser encourage Olivia to be brave for their battle against King Olly.
