Toadsworth, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Inns appear in RPGs of the Super Mario franchise as places where Mario and his party members, for a small fee, can go to sleep to refill their stats such as HP, FP (or BP in the Mario & Luigi series), and, exclusively in the first two entries of the Paper Mario series, SP. The price varies by location; inns located in places visited later in the game usually have higher prices.

History

Super Mario RPG

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake, inns are generally distinguished by a spinning star sign. The inns at Marrymore and Nimbus Land offer extra services or goods (usually netting the player a rare item, or at least granting a chance of getting one) in exchange for an additional fee.

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario's Toad Houses serve the same function as inns, with the main difference being that they are free of charge.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door features several inns that throw in an item as a bonus. If Mario sleeps in the inns 50 times, a Cameraman Lakitu arrives out of nowhere, congratulates him, and gives him 200 coins. The player can stay for free in an inn if Mario has an Inn Coupon in his possession. Inns in this game are always marked with a bed sign.

Super Paper Mario

Inns also appear in Super Paper Mario, where, like in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, they may provide bonus items to the player. However, they are much less prevalent (appearing only in Flipside and Flopside), due to the high frequency of ? Blocks containing HP-restoring Mushrooms (as well as Super Mushrooms and Ultra Mushrooms). They are once again marked with a bed sign.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

There are two inns in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team: one in Pi'illo Castle, and the other in Wakeport. Both of these inns cost ten coins to stay in, and they fully recover Mario and Luigi's HP and BP. Each time Mario and Luigi stay at the Wakeport inn, they are given one item by the owner in the following order: a Mushroom, a Taunt Ball, a Syrup Jar, a Boo Biscuit, and a Nut. After giving the last item, the owner no longer gives items to Mario and Luigi if they stay at the inn again.
