Yold Town

Yold Town is a small village located on Mount Lineland, just before the Yold Desert, and is the first village that Mario visits in Super Paper Mario, aside from Flipside. Thousands of years before the events of the game, the Tribe of Ancients lived there. They were very advanced and took part in helping the hero save the world. To get to and from Yold Town, Mario must confront Red and Green, two bridge guards that control their bridges over two vast gaps on the mountain. One house in Yold Town contains a Pipe that leads down to a hall of Thwomps that Mario must pass in order to reach a room at the end. At the end of that room is Thoreau, the second Pixl that Mario finds.

Old Man Watchitt is the mayor of Yold Town, and as Tippi suggests, Watchitt's grandson Bozzo may become the mayor someday. Mario must talk to Watchitt before leaving the village, and also must retrieve Thoreau.

Trivia

 * According to Bozzo, Yold Town was, around the time Mario first visited it, rumored to be renamed Heroesburg because of a legend that the Four Heroes would revisit it after saving the worlds. Although Mario and friends can return to Yold Town after beating Super Dimentio and therefore "fulfill" this prophecy, nothing more was said about Yold Town being renamed.
 * Yold Town is a pun on "Ye old Town", which means "The old Town" in old English.
