“Help...me...”

—Toad,Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

TheToadwood Forest is a location inMario & Luigi: Partners in Time. It is one of the first locations visited byMario,Luigi,Baby Mario, andBaby Luigi. The forest is located betweenBowser's Castle andPeach's Castle inMushroom Kingdom. TheShroobs use the forest to harvestvim fromToads to use as fuel. Enemies such asKoopeleons,Boo Guys, andElasto-Piranhas reside in the forest.

During the Shroob invasion, Toads are abducted and placed on the forest's trees, which drain their life force, known asvim, out of them, weakening the Toads. Those fully drained cannot be interacted with. The vim is transferred through the roots of the trees to theVim Factory, a huge Shroob-created building built in the middle of the Toadwood Forest. Once there, the vim is altered bySwiggler with chemicals and turned into fuel for theShroob saucers.

The Mario brothers and their baby counterparts travel to the Toadwood Forest of the past after theCobalt Star shard retrieved fromBaby Bowser's Castle opens atime hole to that location. As they journey through the forest, they encounter multiple Toads strapped to the trees. They eventually reachToadiko, who reveals what happened to her,Toadbert, andPrincess Peach after they traveled to the past and tells the Shroobs' plans to the Mario brothers. Before Toadiko can finish, five Shroob saucers attack and turn her into aShroob mushroom. However, the brothers manage to evade the attacks. After burning the trees blocking the way to the Vim Factory, they take aWarp Pipe to bring them closer to the factory.

In the next area, the brothers and the baby brothers activate two switches to raise the platforms in front of the factory's entrance, allowing access.

Layout[edit]

In the first area of the Toadwood Forest are tree stumps that the adult brothers can throw the baby brothers into. Inside of each stump are? Blocks that containcoins or items, as well as atrampoline, which the baby brothers can use to leave the stump. Some stumps also contain enemies. In the area with six tall tree stumps, the adult brothers must throw the baby brothers into a shorter stump to go underground, where the baby brothers must hit sixfire blocks.^[1] After each fire block is hit, a fireball shoots out of a tall stump and enters anEmpty Block above ground. The adult brothers need to hit these blocks to combine the six fireballs into one large fireball at the center of the area. After hitting the block the large fireball is in, it launches and burns down a wall of trees, clearing a path to the Warp Pipe that leads to the second area.

The second area features pits filled with thorns. To cross them, the baby brothers must use a block to control thefloating panel^[2] while the adult brothers are riding it. ? Blocks are found above safe ground and barrier platforms, which only appear over the largest pit.Warp Blocks are found on the other side to reunite the brothers. Two statues are in the second area, each of which requiresSimultaneous Blocks to be hit by all four brothers to activate them. After activating both statues, they reveal a bridge that allows the brothers and baby brothers to enter the Vim Factory.
