Toad Town

Toad Town is the capital city of the Mushroom Kingdom. Located at the doorstep of Princess Peach's Castle, the town first appeared in Paper Mario. Since then, Toad Town has become a recurrent location in the Mario series, especially the RPG games. However, much like Princess Peach's Castle, the appearance, design, and layout of the town has varied greatly each time it has reappeared, though it has always been depicted as a flourishing and cheery place.
[edit] History[edit] Paper Mario series[edit] Paper Mario In Paper Mario, Toad Town serves as the central hub through which all outlying areas can be accessed (in fact, most areas can only be reached by passing through Toad Town). The city is also the setting for the beginning and ending cut-scenes. [edit] Layout A massive sewer system called Toad Town Tunnels is under the town and has blue Warp Pipes to all areas in the game. Badges, Super Blocks, and enemies lurk in the damp darkness. Toad Town's main entrance square contains an item shop, the Toad Town Dojo on the second floor of a two-story building (the first floor of which is inaccessible) and multiple houses, including Russ T.'s library-like home. There is a Warp Pipe that goes to Mario's House. The western Goomba Road is also accessible from here. Rowf and Rhuff's badge stand (only open after the Calculator has been retrieved), a Toad House, the home of Merlon the fortune-teller and the Post Office are near the gate to Peach's Castle at the north end of town. This area also branches off to the eastern Pleasant Path. Minh T.'s flower garden is also here, and serves as gateway to Flower Fields. The area Peach's Castle was located at has a path to the east that leads to the Shooting Star Summit. South of here the player can find Tayce T.'s house, the entrance to Toad Town Tunnels and the path leading to Forever Forest. In an otherwise abandoned house in the south-west part of town is the Shy Guy's Toy Box, where Muskular, one of the Star Spirits, was being held. Also here is a second item shop. The southern-most area is where the train station is located, from here, the K64 train frequently departs to Mt. Rugged. The Li'l Oink farm is also found in this area, as well as the Playroom. Finally, the western-most area of Toad Town has a harbor and a single building in which Club 64, a lively bar, is housed. A Whale, inside which Fuzzipede is fought, is found here, and may be boarded to access Lavalava Island. Another fight taking place in the harbour is the fourth fight against Jr. Troopa.

[edit] Mario & Luigi series[edit] Mario & Luigi: Superstar SagaMario walks around Toad Town plaza in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga to learn the basic skills of the game. Mario visits Toad Town only at the beginning of this game. [edit] Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time  Click an area to open the relevant article.  In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, the Mario Bros. and their baby selves travel to a Toad Town of the past, which is almost destroyed by the Shroobs. Only Gramma Red and Gramma Green remained there, and they sold their wares to Mario and Luigi. A Time Hole and a path to Star Hill are at the south end of the town. The town is filled with enemies as well. Most of the buildings contain items and coins. [edit] Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story  Toad Town once again reappears in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. It is where all the Toads reside in the game. It can be found just south of Peach's Castle. The citizens live in the northern part of the town, where they reside happily. At least until the Blorbs epidemic broke out and many of the citizens became infected and swelled like a balloon. The main part of the living area holds a fountain, with blocks that can only be reached using Shell Mario, which can be learned on the outskirts of town. In the southern part of town is Toad Town Mall, which has been newly opened when Mario & Luigi arrive back from Bowser's Body. It holds all the shops in the town, as well as the Clinic used to find the Star Cures to unite as the Miracle Cure and heal all the Blorb-infected toads. Beneath the town is the Toad Town Caves, which is where the Dark Star was sequestered in ancient times. That is until Fawful invades Toad Town and steals the dark entity for himself. There are also many pipes in the underground section of Toad Town that will lead into different sections of Toad Town and Toad Town Mall. [edit] Mario Party series[edit] Mario Party DSToad Town is briefly seen in the game's intro. During the intro, what appears to be shooting stars cross over the night sky in Toad Town. The first two Party boards are located in Toad Town itself. Wiggler's Garden is shown located in the town square, and Toadette's Music Room is located near the Town's coast.
