The '''Toad Town Dojo''' is a part of [[Toad Town]] featured only in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Here, [[Mario]] and the gang can practice their fighting skills against [[Chan]] (a [[Buzzy Beetle]]), [[Lee]] (a [[Duplighost]]) and [[The Master]] himself, a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] martial artist. Each battle earns a harder challenge and recognition. In fact, this is the same as battling [[Jinx]] (and [[Jagger]]) in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.

This is where Mario can earn the [[First-Degree Card|First]], [[Second-Degree Card|Second]], [[Third-Degree Card|Third]] and [[Fourth-Degree Card]]s as well as the [[Diploma]]. Despite the fact that [[Mario]] can face powerful optional bosses here, no reward (or even [[Star Point]]s) is given other than the aforementioned cards and diploma, as the battles are just a challenge.
