| | '''Twilight Town''' (Japanese ウスグラ村 ''Usugura Mura'') is a somewhat creepy town in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. While [[Mario]] and his teammates were searching for the [[Ruby Star|fourth Crystal Star]], the [[Twilight Towner|residents]] here were turned into [[pig|pigs]] by [[Doopliss]], who eventually stole Mario's identity and kidnapped his team (the team was unaware that the Mario they were with was Doopliss) and caused trouble here. However, [[Shadow Siren]] [[Vivian]] 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 through [[Twilight Trail]], 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.

|
| 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 [[Doopliss's parrot|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.

| | | *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? |
| 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 [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Troop]], Bowser inadvertently ignites the Superbombomb, sending both groups flying.
| | *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==
| |
| *[[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.
| |
| *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]].
