'''Twilight Town''' is a perpetually twilit town in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. While [[Mario]] and his friends are searching for the [[Ruby Star|fourth Crystal Star]], the [[Twilighter]]s are turned into [[pig]]s 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.

'''Twilight Town''' is a creepy-themed, perpetually twilit town in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and is mainly inhabited by [[Twilighter]]s. [[Crow]]s inhabit Twilight Town as well, and players can listen to their conversations when Mario uses Vivian's field [[Veil]] ability. To enter Twilight Town through the pipe in [[Rogueport Sewers]], Mario is required to have his name to be written on his clothes, otherwise the pipe will reject him.


[[File:Pigified.PNG|thumb|left|Several residents turned into pigs.]]
While [[Mario]] and his friends are searching for the [[Ruby Star|fourth Crystal Star]], the Twilighters are turned into [[pig]]s by a distant bell in [[Creepy Steeple]]. After heading there, Mario finds a [[Duplighost]] named [[Doopliss]] who had been responsible for the chaos caused in Twilight Town. Despite putting up a good fight, and reverting all of the Twilighters to normal in the process, Doopliss managed to steal Mario's identity in an attempt to cause more havoc.

[[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 [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|game]] would be much easier to beat.
At around this time, [[Vivian]] had been looking for the [[Superbombomb]] after her sister [[Beldam]] framed her for "dropping" it. In his cursed state, Mario helped her find it, and as thanks Vivian decided to help him retrieve his identity. After listening in to a conversation of a [[Parrot (character)|parrot]] who Doopliss had locked up, the duo was able to correctly guess Doopliss's name, then battle him again back at Creepy Steeple, allowing Mario to win back his identity. The Twilighters, shocked over the fact that Doopliss had disguised himself as Mario, praised Mario for restoring peace to Twilight Town.

Later on, Lord Crump is seen looking for the Superbombomb when he gets stopped by [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy Koopa]]. After a brief confrontation between the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] and  the [[Koopa Troop]], Bowser inadvertently ignites the Superbombomb, sending both groups flying.
