Mario and Goombario reading from the front side of the notice board in Toad Town in Paper Mario
Mario reading the notice board in Toad Town
“There is a message board on the side of Merlon's house that posts news. It would appear that many people enjoy scribbling on the back of the message board. Indeed, various things are always written on it.”
—Russ T., Paper Mario

This is a list of the news and the scribbles on the notice board near Merlon's house in Toad Town in Paper Mario. The messages written on the front of the sign are on the left column of the table below, while the messages written on the back are on the right column.

Princess Peach Kidnapped!!
Castle Uprooted!!

A few days ago, Princess Peach's Castle was stolen. She was inside and is presumed kidnapped.

The whereabouts of the princess are unknown, and where the castle once stood there is now a gaping hole in the ground. According to witnesses, the castle rose into the sky.

As soon as we get new information, we'll post follow-up reports on this board.

I'm scribbling on the back of the Notice Board. How naughty!

The Explorer Kolorado Challenges the Mystery of the Desert!

Mr. Kolorado of Koopa Village, an explorer and archaeologist, has just started his search for the legendary ruins rumored to lie beneath Dry Dry Desert.

As of this writing, he has yet to come across a single clue. Morale, however, remains high!

Koopa Koot of Koopa Village is trying to recruit people to do him favors.

Word is, if you grant his requests, he rewards you. He's a pretty self-centered old Koopa, though, so who knows if anyone will be willing to help him.

If you're reading this and have a kind heart, why don't you do an old Koopa a favor?

Mario More than a Match for the Koopa Bros. Fortress!

Our hero, Mario, has vanquished the Koopa Bros. who lived in the great fortress to the east.

The Koopa Bros., longtime underlings of Bowser, had been left to guard one of the kidnapped Star Spirits. That Star Spirit has returned to Star Haven, all thanks to our hero.

Huzzahs for Mario!

The train parked at the station at the south of town is pretty spiffy, isn't it? It's called K64.

Unfortunately, a huge boulder has fallen on the track and the train can't go anywhere.

Ancient Ruins Discovered in Dry Dry Desert

Our resident archaeologist, the esteemed Mr. Kolorado, has finally discovered the legendary Dry Dry Ruins.

Although it could not be confirmed at press time, Mario may have played a key role. Details are sketchy, but if the early reports are true, a Star Spirit languishing in the ruins has been rescued.

Let's hear it for Mario!

Miss Tayce T.'s cooking class will be canceled for a while.

Ghost Sightings Slowly Fade

The rash of ghost sightings in the area seemed to be reaching epidemic proportions.

Lately, though, we've seen a marked decrease. And now, we likely know why. The Forever Forest path guard tells us that Mario has entered the forest.

As soon as we can, TTN will interview Mario to get a first-hand report on this bold move. Stay tuned to this board for our follow-up to this breaking news.

Princess Peach's Cooking Contest
Postponed Due to Lack of Castle

The annual Cooking Contest sponsored by Princess Peach has been postponed indefinitely.

Besides sponsoring the annual affair, Peach also hosted the culinary contest at her castle. The disappearance of the castle itself presents some perplexing problems for the contest planners.

To those who are pulling their hair out in frustration, we say: Keep the faith, champion chefs! Mario will save the day!

Ghost Story, Part Two
Mario's Coup de Boo

Breaking news on our continuing ghost coverage:

It seems that a single Boo was responsible for all of the sightings in town. This Boo was merely looking for a brave soul to help vanquish a Boo-eating monster.

Mario, of course, took the challenge and punished the great beast, freeing another Star Spirit in the process.

Afterlife has returned to normal for the Boos, so the town hauntings should cease.

Shy Guys Still Stealing
Toad Town in Trouble!

Look around, folks! Shy Guys still run rampant in our town.

Miss Tayce T., our resident master chef, recently lost a vital frying pan to the pests. These scoundrels came upon Minh T. in her flower garden and gave her quite a fright.

By the main gate, they drove a well-meaning shopkeeper from his very own store. They've even been seen bouncing on the bed in Toad's House.

Reports are pouring in from all over town about these miniature menaces. They're everywhere! Please take care, folks!

To tell you the truth, I'm crazy about Miss Bow.

She's so arrogant...so very headstrong... I love it! I can't believe I'm writing this... If Miss Bow sees this, what'll I do?

We must stop this extortion as soon as possible! Any ideas would be welcome... For now, we would suggest that you take some coins with you when you go to Koopa Village.

I bought Princess Peach's photos by mail order, but they were a total rip-off!

Volcano Blows its Lid on Lavalava Island
Mario Escapes Molten Magma

A little while ago we reported on new volcanic activity erupting on an island in the South Sea. Mt. Lavalava on Lavalava Island was the volcano in question.

We recently received a report from Kolorado, the famed archaeologist who journeyed into the volcano with Mario. He states that Bowser's minions were behind the seismic tremors that caused the volcano to violently erupt.

At great risk to life and limb, Mario made a daring rescue of the Star Spirit that was held in the fiery depths.
