'''Twilight Town''' is a perpetually twilit town in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. While [[Mario]] and his friends are searching for the [[Ruby Star|fourth Crystal Star]], the [[Twilighter]]s are turned into [[pig]]s by [[Doopliss]], who eventually steals Mario's identity and tricked his friends (the team was unaware that the Mario they were with was actually Doopliss) and causes trouble here. However, [[Vivian]] the [[Shadow Siren]] joins Mario's team to help Mario break the curse and get his appearance back, abandoning her sisters in the process.

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]]''.

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]].

==Area Tattles==
*''"This is Twilight Town. It's twilight here, which I guess makes sense, huh? That big moon gives me the heebie-jeebies. I guess the sky here is always the same... No morning, noon, or night... Wouldn't perpetual dusk get a little like, boring?"''
*''"This is Twilight Town. The people here are just as shadowy as the sky... I wonder if I'd get that way if I lived here long enough? ...Gross. Still, I guess being all gothed-out is better than being a pig..."''

==Trivia==
*The chapter in which this town is featured is entitled "For Pigs the Bell Tolls". This is a play on ''[[wikipedia:For Whom the Bell Tolls|For Whom the Bell Tolls]]'', a famous novel by author Ernest Hemingway.
*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.
*The in-game map description reads, ''"A town stuck in a perpetual state of dim twilight. Even the townspeople have dim, gray complexions, not to mention dim expressions."''
