'''Riverside Station''' is an old, deserted train station in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and the only known stop the [[Excess Express]] makes between Rogueport and [[Poshley Heights]]. Following its abandonment, a large swarm of [[Smorg (species)|Smorgs]] have taken up residence amid the station's dilapidated interior. During the events of ''The Thousand-Year Door'', an unknown person (possibly the Smorgs) lifts the station's drawbridge, which the Excess Express needs to cross; a Riverside worker informs [[Mario]] of the dilemma and gives him a key, granting him access to the otherwise locked station. Using his newly acquired [[Ultra Boots]], Mario must hit the switch inside the station to reactivate the drawbridge, allowing it to fall back into place so the Excess Express can continue its commute.
'''Riverside Station''' is an old, deserted train station in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and the only known stop the [[Excess Express]] makes between [[Rogueport]] and [[Poshley Heights]]; the train typically stops at this station so it can be refueled before its commute continues. There was once a river that flowed beneath the bridge here (hence the name "Riverside Station"), but it dried up at an undisclosed time before Mario's arrival and the area has since become a pasture. The station's decommission was quite possibly a result of the [[Smorg]] infestation or other enemies that invaded. Despite its dilapidated state, there are two workers at the station.


The Excess Express always arrives at this location during sunset, however the time displayed on the station's clock tower
As aforementioned, the station seems all but abandoned (sans the many [[list of enemies|enemies]] inhabiting it) and without any signs of upkeep, despite having two known workers. There was once a river that flowed beneath the bridge here (hence the name "Riverside Station"), but it dried up at an undisclosed time before Mario's arrival and the area has since become a pasture. The station's decommission was quite possibly a result of the Smorg infestation or other enemies that invaded.
matches that of the [[Nintendo GameCube]]'s internal clock. This is changed in the remake where the train arrives at 5 PM. The station proper contains a hub area, an elevator, a machinery room, a deck, a garbage dump, and an old office and records room in the station's basement. Some train pictures can be seen on the walls in various places inside the station building. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the train depicted in the pictures more closely resembles the [[K64]] train from the original ''[[Paper Mario]]'', which suggests that an engine of its design operated on the railway before being replaced with the current Excess Express.
 
==History==
[[File:Boarding Dock.png|thumb|200px|The train pulling into the station]]
Before the Excess Express reaches Riverside Station, members of the [[Three Shadows]] enter the building and flip the switch to lift the drawbridge. When the train arrives, a Riverside Station worker informs Mario of the dilemma and gives him a [[Station Key|key]], granting him access to the otherwise locked station. From there, Mario goes to the station's office to obtain the [[Ultra Boots]]. Using his newly acquired boots, Mario obtains the [[Elevator Key (Riverside Station)|Elevator Key]] and uses it to reach the station's control room. When Mario and his [[party member|partner]] reach the bottom, they find numerous [[Smorg]]s surrounding the switch to the drawbridge. They knock away the Smorgs and flip the switch to lower the drawbridge, allowing it to fall back into place so the Excess Express can continue its commute. Before the train leaves, the Smorg horde stow away on the train.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The ordinary Goombas in the records room have several oddities that may indicate they were added very late in development: they are an early-game enemy and much weaker than other enemies encountered in the station, they do not thematically fit in with the area like the other enemies do, and despite being located in the records room, they use a battle background depicting the hallway upstairs. No enemies are found in the hallway, so the background may possibly have been [[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content#Dialogue|leftover from a cut battle]] with [[Doopliss]], [[Beldam]] and [[Marilyn]] in this chapter and repurposed for the Goombas.
{{PMTTYDmap}}
*In the Japanese version of Riverside Station, the block below the hidden block that contains a Thunder Rage is a breakable [[Brick Block]]. Breaking the block causes it to stay broken until the player leaves Riverside Station. The international versions made this into an [[Empty Block]]. In the Nintendo Switch remake, it is changed to a Brick Block containing a coin.
*The face of the station's clock tower is only visible during cutscenes, and displays the time based on that of the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube's]] internal clock.
**The unbreakable block in international versions does not bounce upon being hit like other Empty Blocks do.
**The Excess Express only arrives at sunset regardless of what time the player visits the station.
 
*The battles with Goombas may have been added as an afterthought, as the background used for these fights depicts a room upstairs where no battles occur in the final game; this background may have been a leftover [[list of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|pre-release and unused content]] from Beldam and Doopliss' battle that was originally going to take place here.
*Even after the player lowers the drawbridge, the train will always stop at Riverside Station en route to Poshley Heights.
*Unused background music intended for Riverside Station can be found within the game's files.
