[[File:Introduction Of Rogueport.png|thumb|left|Rogueport Harbor]]

Ships are said to regularly anchor at the place. During his adventures in Rogueport, Mario takes [[Cortez]]'s ship to [[Keelhaul Key]] from here. The [[Black Skull]] continues to anchor at the site after Chapter 5. People Mario can meet at the docks include [[Lumpy (character)|Lumpy]] and [[Pa-Patch]] (before Chapter 5). The docks are in their majority are [[Bob-omb]]s and some [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s.

There is also a hidden area to the left of the harbor itself that is only accessible once Mario can use [[Boat Mode]]. This area contains a chest with the [[HP Drain]] badge as well as a [[Star Piece]]. Other objects there suggest someone lives there, but they are never present.

Rogueport Plaza is the market of Rogueport, with the {{wp|gallows}} in the center. The plaza is home to the [[Toad Bros. Bazaar]], an item shop, as well as [[Podley]]'s soda bar with an inn upstairs. The [[Lovely Howz of Badges]], a badge shop, is entered from a raised walkway that can be accessed from the inn. Next to this shop, there is a rooftop where [[Ms. Mowz]] can optionally join Mario’s party after Chapter 4.

[[Zess T.]]’s kitchen is located on the west end of the plaza. Next to this building, there is a bulletin board that is updated with news periodically throughout the story. The backside also features graffiti written on it, which also changes periodically. Starting midway through Chapter 1, [[Charlieton]] can be found in the streets selling his wares.

The plaza separates the west side controlled by [[Don Pianta]] and the east side ruled by [[Ishnail]]. Neither of the opposing parties seem to have a total control over the marketplace. At the very beginning of the game, as Goombella starts to tell Mario what is going on and [[Toadsworth]] is telling Mario the whereabouts of [[Princess Peach|Peach]], two members of the [[Pianta syndicate]] can be seen ambushing and threatening two [[Robbo Thieves|Robbo]] members in front of [[Podley's Place]]. Several criminals reside behind the main buildings, through an archway. A Bandit resides in a house behind Podley's Place; this is the same Bandit that robs Mario at the beginning of the game. If spoken to, he will give Mario his stolen coins back. McGoomba also resides in this area. The plaza in its majority is [[Doogan]]s, [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Goomba]]s, and [[Little Mouser|Squeeks]].

The east side of Rogueport, also called Ishnail’s Turf by its inhabitants, is an insecure and run-down place controlled by the [[Robbo Thieves]], led by Ishnail. [[Bandit]]s roam the streets, and when Mario first enters the area, he immediately gets robbed half his coins. This part of town is dirty, and the houses are in bad shape. This area is home to [[Merlon]] and [[Professor Frankly]]. The pipe to the [[Rogueport Sewers]] is just outside Professor Frankly's house. The far east part of the east side is guarded by [[Gus]]. Mario has to pay him or fight him in order to pass. In that area, there is the [[Trouble Center]] and [[Admiral Bobbery]]'s house. [[Garf]]’s house is the furthest-east building accessible, and can be entered after completing his trouble. Next to the door, there is a stack of crates that can only be reached using [[Mini-Yoshi|Yoshi]]’s [[Flutter Jump]]. This leads to the rooftops, where Bobbery’s chimney, which can be entered using [[Tube Mode]], is located, as well as the storyteller [[Grifty]].

This area is much cleaner than the east side, and there is a fountain as well as a small park. The Pianta syndicate runs the [[Pianta Parlor]] and the [[Westside Goods]] item shop in the area. After buying a [[Dried Shroom]] and [[Dizzy Dial]] in order at Westside Goods, and answering the shopkeeper [[Peeka]]’s question about Mario’s favorite color with “yellow” (a password that Mario can learn from Ishnail), Mario is granted access to the Pianta syndicate’s headquarters through a back staircase, where Don Pianta resides for most of the game. Next to Westside Goods, there is a cracked wall that can be destroyed by Bobbery, leading to a small back alley containing a [[Shine Sprite]].

[[Lucky]], who manages the [[Happy Lucky Lottery]], is found in the southwestern area. There is a sewer grate which Mario can enter using Paper Mode to reach the western part of Rogueport Sewers. The park area features a tall pipe that acts as the exit to the western part of the sewers, and is too tall to enter from outside.

There are also a few residential houses in the eastern area. One of them contains a small hole that can be entered with Tube Mode, leading to a back alley with a Shine Sprite. By using Tube Mode again to exit this area through another small hole, Mario is deposited in the other residential house through a dresser drawer.

Rogueport Station is the center of transportation in Rogueport, located north of the west side. It contains both the port for the [[Blimp#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Cheep Blimp]] as well as the [[Excess Express]]’ station. Mario must acquire tickets for both of these modes of transport to access [[Glitzville]] and [[Poshley Heights]], respectively.
