Twilight Town

Twilight Town is a perpetually twilit town in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. While Mario and his friends are searching for the fourth Crystal Star, the Twilighters are turned into pigs by Doopliss, who eventually steals Mario's identity, tricks his friends, and causes trouble. In this area, Vivian, a Shadow Siren, joins Mario's team to help Mario break the curse and get his appearance back, abandoning her sisters in the process. Later, Bowser and his army fight Lord Crump and his army in Twilight Town, but the fight is cut short after Crump throws the Superbombomb and Bowser inadvertently blows it up. Crows inhabit Twilight Town as well, and players can listen to their conversations when Mario uses Vivian's field Veil ability.



Goombella breaks the fourth wall when she tattles on the gatekeeper; she says that there is "a gatekeeper" in every town and if there wasn't, the game would be much easier to beat.

Area Tattles

 * "This is Twilight Town. It's twilight here, which I guess makes sense, huh? That big moon gives me the heebie-jeebies. I guess the sky here is always the same... No morning, noon, or night... Wouldn't perpetual dusk get a little like, boring?"
 * "This is Twilight Town. The people here are just as shadowy as the sky... I wonder if I'd get that way if I lived here long enough? ...Gross. Still, I guess being all gothed-out is better than being a pig..."

Map bio

 * "A town stuck in a perpetual state of dim twilight. Even the townspeople have dim, gray complexions, not to mention dim expressions."

Trivia

 * The chapter in which this town is featured is entitled "For Pigs the Bell Tolls". This is a play on For Whom the Bell Tolls, a famous novel by author Ernest Hemingway.
