Editing Toad Town Dojo

[[File: ToadTownDojoPM.png|thumb|left|[[Mario]] and [[Bombette]] training at the Toad Town Dojo]]
The '''Toad Town Dojo''' is a part of [[Toad Town]] featured only in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Here, [[Mario]] and the gang can practice their fighting skills against [[Chan]] (a [[Buzzy Beetle]]), [[Lee]] (a [[Duplighost]]) and [[The Master]] himself, a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] martial artist. Each battle earns a harder challenge and recognition. In fact, this is the same as battling [[Jinx]] (and [[Jagger]]) in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.

This is where Mario can earn the [[First-Degree Card|First]], [[Second-Degree Card|Second]], [[Third-Degree Card|Third]] and [[Fourth-Degree Card]]s as well as the [[Diploma]]. Despite the fact that [[Mario]] can face powerful optional bosses here, no reward (or even [[Star Point]]s) is given other than the aforementioned cards and diploma, as the battles are just a challenge.

==Notable participants==
During Mario's quest, he can meet three characters who have participated at the Dojo: a yellow-spotted Toad in Toad Town just outside the Dojo with a First-Degree Card, a [[Dryite]] in [[Dry Dry Outpost]] with a Second-Degree Card, and a [[Bumpty]] in [[Shiver City]] with a Third-Degree Card.

|"''Mariooooo! Did you know that there's a Dojo in Toad Town? I go there all the time. I finally got my Third-Degree Card the other day. I'm sure you have a much higher ranking than I do, though. What? You don't have anything?!''"
|"''Hey... You have... ...a First-Degree Card! Heh heh heh. A beginner, huh? I've got a Third-Degree Card. Looks like I'm stronger than you!''"
|"''Hey... You have... ...a Second-Degree Card! Heh heh heh. It's a start. I've got a Third-Degree Card. I must be tougher than you!''"
