On July 4, 2021, Nintendo of America published a news update titled “Games that go BOOM!” promoting various games that contain explosions, to fit the holiday’s fireworks.

The first game on that list is Paper Mario: The Origami King. As the game is still not old enough for me to safely assume that spoilers are no longer a concern, I will not explain in what capacity an explosion appears during the game’s plot, other than that it is a somber and dramatic moment. For those who have played the game, an inclusion of it on a list of explosions to create a festive atmosphere can be considered to be uncharacteristically dark humor from Nintendo at best and in poor taste at worst.
