Editing Picnic Road

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.

==Collectibles==

'''NOTE''': Some collectibles are found in areas that are inaccessible until returning later; these entries are highlighted in beige.

|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.
