'''Mt. Rugged''' is a rocky mountain in the southeast of [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The foot of the mountain can be accessed from [[Toad Town]] via the [[K64]] train.

Mario needs Parakarry to hover across a broken bridge on the mountain as well as to get the [[Magical Seed]] here.


'''Mt. Rugged''' is a mountain that [[Mario]], [[Goombario]], [[Kooper]] and [[Bombette]] climb in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. This is where they meet [[Parakarry]], the mail-delivering [[Paratroopa]] who joins the party. Not to mention they have to face [[Buzzar]], a sheriff who works for [[King Bowser|Bowser]]. Buzzar won't let Mario and co. enter [[Dry Dry Desert|the Desert]] if Mario says his name is Mario or Peach, because then, Mario and company will have to fight him. But he will let Mario and co. enter if Mario says his name is [[Luigi]].
[[Buzzar]] is also encountered here. The player has the choice of battling him, which can help get him [[Star Point]]s; alternately, he can tell Buzzar that he is Luigi, and Buzzar will surprisingly leave him alone.

Mario can also find treasures hidden around on the mountain, often in small mountain balconies that waterfalls can loom over; he can find treasures down in lower areas of the mountain using Parakarry's gliding move as well.

An extraordinarily cheerful creature named '[[Whacka]]' is found on Mt. Rugged. When Whacka is hit with Mario's [[Hammer]], an item appears from his head called [[Whacka's Bump]] that very well could be one of the most useful items in the game. Several of these can be gotten from Whacka until he is, basically, defeated. He is also found later on [[Keelhaul Key]] in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]].

Mt. Rugged is a rocky mountain in the southeast of Mushroom Kingdom in Paper Mario. The foot of the mountain can be accessed from Toad Town via the K64 train. In Chapter 2, Mario and his partners must climb the mountain in order to get to their destination behind the mountain, Dry Dry Desert. Mt. Rugged is where the player meets Parakarry, a Paratroopa who tells them that he has lost letters all over the Mushroom Kingdom, including several on Mt. Rugged. The player must first locate Parakarry's three letters on Mt. Rugged; once the player has achieved this, Parakarry will join the party. Mario needs Parakarry to hover across a broken bridge on the mountain as well as to get the Magical Seed here.

Buzzar is also encountered here. The player has the choice of battling him, which can help get him Star Points; alternately, he can tell Buzzar that he is Luigi, and Buzzar will surprisingly leave him alone.

When Mario talks to her, she expresses her adoration of the Whacka, and after the Whacka's disappearance, her worry about where it could have gone. A Super Block can also be found in the area near the train station, but it is blocked by a Stone Block. It is accessible only after getting the Super Hammer from Dry Dry Ruins.
