Toad Town is the capital city of theMushroom Kingdom. Located at the doorstep ofPeach's Castle, the town first appeared asMushroom Kingdom inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Since then, Toad Town has become a recurrent location in theSuper Mario franchise, especially theRPG games. However, much like Peach's Castle, the appearance, design, and layout of the town has varied greatly each time it has reappeared, though it has almost always been depicted as a flourishing and cheery place.

History[edit]

Main article:Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG)

Main article:Toad Town (Paper Mario)

Toad Town returns inPaper Mario with a larger role, as it is now the hub location. It is also the setting for the start and end cutscenes,

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

Toad Town is mentioned inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door byZip Toad, stating that he was going to be in a film and that he was heading to Toad Town. After Mario rescuesPine T. Sr from thePit of 100 Trials,Pine T. Jr emails Mario and mentions that his father went to Toad Town to take care of Li'l Oinks. It is also mentioned byLumpy if Mario reads his Journal.

Toad Town is mentioned two additional times in the game, but mistakenly goes under different names in the English localization. It is a possible answer in the65th Trivia Quiz-Off (where it is known asMushville), and is mentioned by acrow NPC inTwilight Town (where it is known asMushroom Town). In theNintendo Switch remake, both instances refer to Toad Town by its proper name.

Toad Town^[1] appears inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, which Mario and Toad pass through before arriving atPeach's Castle. Many Toads can be seen doing various activities such as collecting coins from aCoin Block. Different shops and buildings can be found throughout the town such as an antiques shop.

The town later falls victim toBowser's ambush. WhenPeach warns her citizens of the impending attack, they panic and run away. Mario andDonkey Kong rush through the town gathering power-ups along the way, in order to save the former's brotherLuigi, the latter's fellowKongs, thepenguins of theSnow Kingdom, andLumalee from being burned in the lava by Bowser.

Ambiguous appearances[edit]

There are other occurrences of urbanized areas surrounding Peach's Castle, but it is not made clear whether or not these are true appearances of Toad Town.

• Toad Town has also been mentioned to in other games, such asAnimal Crossing, whereGulliver talks about his pet goldfish in Toad Town, and similarly about his goldfish inHyrule.
