- “What if, rather than detect unseen objects...we were to create a device that makes YOU undetectable? You needn't worry! Feast your eyes, while you can, upon...the Lamination Suit!”
- —Toad Researcher, Paper Mario: The Origami King
The Lamination Suit is a gadget in Paper Mario: The Origami King. It becomes available in the Sensor Lab in Picnic Road after Mario first enters Scorching Sandpaper Desert from Breezy Tunnel. As the Toad Researcher describes it, it makes Mario unseen as opposed to detecting unseen objects (referring to Hidden Block Unhider, his later invention). Like the Toad Radar, the Lamination Suit runs on a battery and cannot be used if the battery is fully drained; Mario must bring it back to the Sensor Lab and pay to recharge it along with the other gadgets. It functions similarly to the field abilities that Bow and Vivian have in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door respectively, except Mario can move while using it.
Like the other gadgets, Mario is asked to test the Lamination Suit before receiving it. He must hop down a Warp Pipe that takes him to an empty area. As shown, the enemies in the area are unaware of Mario's presence when he dons the suit. However, this does not apply to special enemies, and bumping into an enemy gives away Mario's location. Mario is tasked with completing three challenges; he must keep the suit on, avoid the enemies, and reach the flag at the end. If Mario bumps into an enemy, the test ends early. Mario can speak to the head researcher to test the Lamination Suit again.
If Mario activates the Lamination Suit while battling the Mega Paper Macho Pokey or the Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle, it automatically wears off since, according to Olivia, it is too windy to use in the desert storm and cannot be used for "some reason", respectively.
