Editing Picnic Road

{{PMTOK location infobox

|treasures=3

From this point, Mario can head north and follow the trail leading out of Picnic Road and into Overlook Mountain. Just outside the entrance is a Toad disguised as an origami dog (who is later revealed to be the [[Battle Lab Toad]]). There is an area nearby that appears to be a golf course. Mario can grab onto the [[Goal Pole]] and slightly lower it to reveal a set of stairs, allowing him to reach the top of the flag pole (akin to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''), revealing both the ball at the top and the flag as disguised Toads. At the west end of Picnic Road is a building that serves as headquarters to [[Sensor Lab]]; however, it is initially inaccessible due to a red [[streamer]] wrapped around the building. After the streamer is cleared, Mario can then enter the Sensor Lab, where he rescues the [[Toad Researcher]]; as thanks, the Toad Researcher provides Mario with his first gadget he developed, the [[Toad Radar]], which allows Mario to track down Toads, especially useful in areas with [[Autumn Mountain|tall]] [[Club Island|grass]]. Additional gadgets, such as the [[Lamination Suit]] and the [[Hidden Block Unhider]], are also developed at the Sensor Lab and become available at later points in the game.

|Near the set of fences to the west is a Not-Bottomless Hole, which reveals an even smaller hole when repaired. Hammering near it will release a rolled up Toad.

|After hammering the ground near the Goal Pole to reveal a set of stairs, Mario can slide down the top of the pole, sending the green ball on top into the air and releasing a bundle of Toads in a display of fireworks.

|After attempting to jump onto the Goal Pole, Mario can hammer the flag to reveal a green Toad.

|Near the Goal Pole is a patch of flowers surrounding two holes in the ground, one of which needs a Not-Bottomless Hole repaired. Hammering near the holes will reveal two Toads disguised as a red tulip and a yellow butterfly.

|A yellow Toad disguised as an origami prairie dog burrows in a secluded area to the east, accessed from the ledge nearby. The prairie dog will burrow into a different hole when Mario gets close, so he should hammer all but the bottom two holes to corner the critter.

|Guarding the path to Overlook Tower is an aggravated origami dog, which when hammered is revealed to be Toad Town's [[Battle Lab Toad|Battle Lab owner]]. Following this, Mario can access the [[Battle Lab]] in Toad Town.

|The [[Fun, Funky, and Functional]] Toad from Toad Town can be found folded and resting on a table outside the Earth Vellumental Temple. Following this rescue, Mario can purchase accessories in Toad Town.

|A crumpled Toad can be found stuck in an alcove below the stairs to the [[Earth Vellumental Temple]] entrance. Mario can hammer the umbrella and use its canopy to reach the Toad.

|Just south of the entrance to the Earth Vellumental Temple is a set of stairs. Entering the path below, Mario can reach a crumpled Toad guarded by a Scaredy Rat.

|Close to the trail at the top of Picnic Road, there is an arrow made of coins pointing towards a breakable bush. Jumping on this spot reveals a Hidden Block.

|A ? Block floats beside the cliff face at the top of Picnic Road, where the path trails off towards [[Overlook Mountain]].
