'''Mt. Rugged''' is a rugged, rocky mountain in the southeast of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The foot of the mountain can be accessed from [[Toad Town]] via the [[K64]] train. In Chapter 2, [[Mario]] and his partners must climb the mountain in order to get to their destination behind the mountain, [[Dry Dry Desert]]. Mt. Rugged is where the player meets [[Parakarry]], a [[Paratroopa]] who tells them that he has lost letters all over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]; several on Mt. Rugged. The player must first locate Parakarry's three letters on Mt. Rugged, once the player has achieved this, Parakarry will join the party. Mario needs Parakarry to hover across a broken bridge on the mountain as well as getting the [[Magical Seed]] here.

[[Buzzar]] is also encountered here and the player has the choice of battling him, which can help get him [[Star Point]]s; alternately, he can tell Buzzar that he is Luigi, and Buzzar will surprisingly leave him alone.

Mt. Rugged is where [[Whacka]] can be found. When Whacka is hit with Mario's [[Hammer]], an item appears from his head called [[Whacka's Bump]]. Eight of these can be gotten until Whacka disappears. There is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] girl who is a Whacka lover near the train station. When Mario talks to her, she expresses her adoration of the Whacka, and after the Whacka's disappearance, her worry about where it could have gone. A [[Super Block (object)|Super Block]] can also be found in the area near the train station, but blocked by a [[Stone Block]], it is accessible only after getting the [[Super Hammer]] from [[Dry Dry Ruins]].

The in-game map description reads, "''It's a very rugged, rocky mountain. Dry Dry Railroad's Mt. Rugged Station is here. Dry Dry Desert is on the other side of Mt. Rugged.''"

==Area Tattles==
*''This is the Mt. Rugged station on the Dry Dry Railroad line. Not much grows around here or on the barren mountain.
*''What a steep mountain!
*''Watch out for the sneaky Monty Moles that are common to this area. They're dirty fighters. They pop up from underground and chuck rocks at people. The cowards!
*''Phew! Maybe we ought to take a break! I didn't realize the road up would be so rough! Of course, as nice as it would be to take five on a rock, you have to watch yourself. Enemies disguise themselves as rocks. They're nasty and spiky, so keep your eyes open.
*''Whoa! We're pretty high up! Ooog... I feel a little faint. I never told you this before, but I have a fear of heights.
