Trouble Center

The Trouble Center is a building found during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, located in East Rogueport. Inside the building is a bulletin board where various characters will post particular troubles that they need Mario's assistance with, such as bringing someone a requested item or making a delivery. If Mario completes a trouble, he will receive a reward.

Troubles are side-quests, much like the favors that Koopa Koot recruited Mario for in Paper Mario. However, rather than completing the troubles in order, Mario can pick and choose the troubles he wishes to do from a list. After Mario completes another chapter, more troubles will have been added to the list.

Troubles are completely optional, as Mario can finish the game without setting foot in the Trouble Center, although he'll miss out on several good rewards if he doesn't. Completion of all troubles yields no special reward, so it is possible for the player to pick and choose which troubles he/she would like to complete, while omitting the ones that don't appeal to him or her.

When Mario takes on a trouble, there is no time limit for when it must be finished. However, Mario can only take on one trouble at a time, and canceling one he signed up for will cost him 30 coins.

The back wall of the Trouble Center is blank, but Flurrie can blow away the wall to reveal the door to Goose's room, the Robbo Gang member who is running this whole operation.
