Toadland Yard

Toadland Yard is an implied police headquarters given a few rare mentions in Mario Party Advance. As is with other implied things, little is known about Toadland Yard.

Toadland Yard is only heard of in the game's manual and Shroomlock's character list description in-game. These mentions respectively describe Shroomlock as "with" and "of" Toadland Yard, suggesting that he works for the organization.

These two mentions leave much to be learned about Toadland Yard. As a matter of fact, it is possible that Toadland Yard is not even a police group at all, but its namesake seems to confirm the fact that it is: Toadland Yard, in addition to having a namesake in "Toad", was named after Scotland Yard (whose actual name is "New Scotland Yard"), a British police headquarters. Scotland Yard is famous for being included in several fictional crime stories such as those involving the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, who happens to be Shroomlock's namesake. (Interestingly, in Sherlock Holmes stories involving Scotland Yard, Holmes, unlike Shroomlock, did not work for the headquarters; instead, he often teamed up or even competed with its operatives.)
