Yold Town is a small village located on top ofMount Lineland, just before theYold Desert, and is the first village that found inSuper Paper Mario, aside fromFlipside. Its name is a pun on "ye old town", an alternate spelling of "the old town" in Early Modern English.
To get to and from Yold Town, Mario must confrontRed andGreen, two bridge guards that control their bridges over two vast gaps on the mountain. One house in Yold Town contains aWarp Pipe that leads down to a hall ofThwomps that Mario must pass in order to reach a room at the end. At the end of that room isThoreau, the secondPixl that Mario finds.
Thousands of years before the events of the game, theTribe of Ancients lived in Yold Town, and their descendents still live there, including the mayor of Yold Town,Old Man Watchitt. Mario must speak to Watchitt before leaving the village, and he can also meet his grandson,Bozzo, whoTippi suggests may become the mayor someday. According to Bozzo, the town was rumored to be renamedHeroesburg because of a legend that the Four Heroes would revisit it after saving the worlds, however when Mario and the others return from fulfilling this prophecy, "Yold Town" remains as the name and the rumor is not spoken of again.
Much later in the game during the final battle withSuper Dimentio, Yold Town is destroyed byThe Void but is restored following the destruction of theChaos Heart.
