The '''Trouble Center''' or '''Trouble Centre''' is a building found during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', located in East [[Rogueport]]. Inside the building is a bulletin board where various characters will post particular troubles that they need someone's assistance with, such as bringing someone a requested item or making a delivery. Once [[Mario]] successfully completes a trouble, he will receive a reward. These rewards are determined by the person who posted the trouble, and range from different amounts of coins to specific items.

The '''Trouble Center''' is a building in the east side of [[Rogueport]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Inside the building is a bulletin board where various characters will post particular troubles that they need someone's assistance with, such as bringing someone a requested item or making a delivery. Once [[Mario]] successfully completes a trouble, he will receive a reward. These rewards are determined by the person who posted the trouble, and range from different amounts of coins to specific items.


Troubles are sidequests, much like the [[Koopa Koot's favors|favors]] that [[Koopa Koot]] recruited Mario for in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. However, rather than completing the troubles in order, Mario can pick and choose the troubles he wishes to do from a list. Every time Mario completes another chapter, more troubles will be added to the list.
The Trouble Center will become accessible after going to [[Petal Meadows]] for the first time.


Troubles are completely optional, as Mario can finish the game without setting foot in the Trouble Center, although he will miss out on several good rewards if he does not. Completion of all troubles yields no special reward, so it is possible for the player to pick and choose which troubles he or she would like to complete, while omitting the more tedious or undesirable ones.

When Mario takes on a trouble, there is no time limit for when it must be finished. However, Mario can only take on one trouble at a time, and canceling a trouble he signed up for will cost him 30 [[Coin|coins]].

The back wall of the Trouble Center is blank, but [[Flurrie]] can blow away the wall to reveal the door to [[Goose (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Goose]]'s room, the [[Robbo Gang]] member who is secretly running the whole operation.

Inside the Trouble Center in East Rogueport
Flurrie revealing the back entrance
Inside the Trouble Center back entrance

The Trouble Center is a building in the east side of Rogueport in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Inside the building is a bulletin board where various characters will post particular troubles that they need someone's assistance with, such as bringing someone a requested item or making a delivery. Once Mario successfully completes a trouble, he will receive a reward. These rewards are determined by the person who posted the trouble, and range from different amounts of coins to specific items.

The Trouble Center will become accessible after going to Petal Meadows for the first time.

Troubles are sidequests, much like the favors that Koopa Koot recruited Mario for in Paper Mario. However, rather than completing the troubles in order, Mario can pick and choose the troubles he wishes to do from a list. Every time Mario completes another chapter, more troubles will be added to the list.

Troubles are completely optional, as Mario can finish the game without setting foot in the Trouble Center, although he will miss out on several rewards if he does not. Completion of all troubles yields no special reward, so it is possible for the player to pick and choose which troubles they would like to complete, while omitting the more tedious or undesirable ones.

When Mario takes on a trouble, there is no time limit for when it must be finished. However, Mario can only take on one trouble at a time, and canceling a trouble he signed up for will cost him 30 coins.

The back wall of the Trouble Center is blank, but Flurrie can blow away the wall to reveal the door to Goose's room, the member of the Robbo Thieves who is secretly running the whole operation.

Trivia[edit]

  • In the Japanese version, if Frankie's trouble is cancelled before Mario collects the wedding ring, the ring will not despawn. If another trouble is taken and then the ring is collected, the ring will set a flag that is used by other troubles. This allows some troubles to be progressed simply by collecting the ring.
