| | '''Twilight Town''' is a perpetually twilit town in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. While [[Mario]] and his friends were searching for the [[Ruby Star|fourth Crystal Star]], the [[Twilight Towner|residents]] here were turned into [[pig]]s by [[Doopliss]], who eventually stole Mario's identity and tricked his friends (the team was unaware that the Mario they were with was actually Doopliss) and caused trouble here. However, [[Vivian]] the [[Shadow Siren]] joined Mario's team to help Mario break the curse and get his appearance back, abandoning her sisters in the process. |
| '''Twilight Town''' is a creepy, perpetually twilit town in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and is mainly inhabited by [[Twilighter]]s, one of which, [[Mayor Dour|Dour]], serves as the mayor. [[Crow]]s inhabit Twilight Town as well, and players can listen to their conversations when Mario uses Vivian's field [[Veil]] ability. To enter Twilight Town through the pipe in [[Rogueport Underground]], Mario is required to have his name to be written on his clothes, otherwise the pipe will reject him. | |

|
| While [[Mario]] and his friends are searching for the [[Ruby Star|fourth Crystal Star]], the Twilighters are turned into [[pig]]s by a distant bell in [[Creepy Steeple]]. After heading there, Mario finds a [[Duplighost]] named [[Doopliss]] who had been responsible for the chaos caused in Twilight Town. Despite putting up a good fight, and reverting all of the Twilighters to normal in the process, Doopliss managed to steal Mario's identity in an attempt to cause more havoc.

| | {{PMTTYDmap}} |
| | A small section of Twilight Town called [[Twilight House]], a reoccurring battle course in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], is a large mansion suspended above the [[Twilight Trail]]. The battle course first appeared in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and was later brought back as a retro battle course in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. |

|
| At around this time, [[Vivian]] had been looking for the [[Superbombomb]] after her sister [[Beldam]] framed her for "dropping" it. In his cursed state, Mario helped her find it, and as thanks Vivian decided to help him retrieve his identity. After listening in to a conversation of a [[Parrot (character)|parrot]] who Doopliss had locked up, the duo was able to correctly guess Doopliss's name, then battle him again back at Creepy Steeple, allowing Mario to win back his identity. The Twilighters, shocked over the fact that Doopliss had disguised himself as Mario, praised Mario for restoring peace to Twilight Town.
| | When [[Goombella]] tattles on the gatekeeper (who makes sure nobody goes past the gate to [[Twilight Trail]] which leads to the [[Creepy Steeple]]), she says that there is "a gatekeeper" in every town and if there wasn't, the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|game]] would be much easier to beat (because the player wouldn't have to deal with the mayor or get past the gatekeeper, they would just run to [[Doopliss]]). The mentioning of the "game," which refers to ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', breaks the [[Fourth wall]]. |

|
| Later on, Lord Crump is seen looking for the Superbombomb when he gets stopped by [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy Koopa]]. After a brief confrontation between the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] and the [[Koopa Troop]], Bowser inadvertently ignites the Superbombomb, sending both groups flying.

| The town is inhabited almost entirely by [[Twilighter]]s, though there are also several [[Crow]]s. Many of the Twilighters are turned into pigs during the chapter.

| *[[Goombella]] breaks the [[fourth wall]] when she tattles on the gatekeeper; she says that there is "a gatekeeper" in every town and if there was not, the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|game]] would be much easier to beat. | | *The chapter in which this town is featured is entitled "For Pigs the Bell Tolls". This is a play on "For Whom the Bell Tolls", a famous novel by author Ernest Hemingway. |
| *During the Bowser segment, an unseen item called the Twilight Blade can be found in the bushes, although Bowser then says "Just Joking". A similar occurrence also happens when checking one of the statues in [[Bowser's Castle]].
| | *This is one of few locations in the game to use three dimensional characters instead of flat, paper-like characters. In this case, the pigs are rendered in 3D. |
| | *This area shares a name with a world from Square Enix's popular "Kingdom Hearts" series. However, that Twilight Town seems to be an entire world. |
