'''Riverside Station''' is an old, deserted train station in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and the only known stop the [[Excess Express]] makes between Rogueport and [[Poshley Heights]]; the train typically stops at this station so it can be refueled before its commute continues. Following its abandonment, a large swarm of [[Smorg]]s have taken up residence amid the station's dilapidated interior. The station proper contains a hub area, an elevator, a clock room, and an old office and archives in the station's basement. While [[Mario]] and his team were travelling to Poshley Heights to find the [[Garnet Star]] in Chapter 6, an unknown entity lifted the station's drawbridge, which the Excess Express needs to cross; a Riverside worker informs Mario of the dilemma and gives him a key, granting him access to the otherwise locked station. From there, Mario must access the station's basement to obtain the [[Ultra Boots]]. Using his newly acquired boots, Mario must hit the switch inside the station to reactivate the drawbridge, allowing it to fall back into place so the Excess Express can continue its commute. The Smorg horde stowed away on the train shortly after the dilemma was resolved and attacked the train the next morning, but was eventually defeated by Mario and his team.

'''Riverside Station''' is an old, deserted train station in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and the only known stop the [[Excess Express]] makes between [[Rogueport]] and [[Poshley Heights]]; the train typically stops at this station so it can be refueled before its commute continues. There was once a river that flowed beneath the bridge here (hence the name "Riverside Station"), but it dried up at an undisclosed time before Mario's arrival and the area has since become a pasture. The station's decommission was quite possibly a result of the [[Smorg]] infestation or other enemies that invaded. Despite its dilapidated state, there are two workers at the station.


As aforementioned, the station seems all but abandoned (sans the many [[list of enemies|enemies]] inhabiting it) and without any signs of upkeep, despite having two known workers. There was once a river that flowed beneath the bridge here (hence the name "Riverside Station"), but it dried up at an undisclosed time before Mario's arrival and the area has since become a pasture. The station's decommission was quite possibly a result of the Smorg infestation or other enemies that invaded.
The Excess Express always arrives at this location during sunset, however the time displayed on the station's clock tower
matches that of the [[Nintendo GameCube]]'s internal clock. This is changed in the remake where the train arrives at 5 PM. The station proper contains a hub area, an elevator, a machinery room, a deck, a garbage dump, and an old office and records room in the station's basement. Some train pictures can be seen on the walls in various places inside the station building. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the train depicted in the pictures more closely resembles the [[K64]] train from the original ''[[Paper Mario]]'', which suggests that an engine of its design operated on the railway before being replaced with the current Excess Express.
 
==History==
[[File:Boarding Dock.png|thumb|200px|The train pulling into the station]]
Before the Excess Express reaches Riverside Station, members of the [[Three Shadows]] enter the building and flip the switch to lift the drawbridge. When the train arrives, a Riverside Station worker informs Mario of the dilemma and gives him a [[Station Key|key]], granting him access to the otherwise locked station. From there, Mario goes to the station's office to obtain the [[Ultra Boots]]. Using his newly acquired boots, Mario obtains the [[Elevator Key (Riverside Station)|Elevator Key]] and uses it to reach the station's control room. When Mario and his [[party member|partner]] reach the bottom, they find numerous [[Smorg]]s surrounding the switch to the drawbridge. They knock away the Smorgs and flip the switch to lower the drawbridge, allowing it to fall back into place so the Excess Express can continue its commute. Before the train leaves, the Smorg horde stow away on the train.

Riverside Station
A view of Riverside Station shown when visiting for the first time.
First appearance Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004)
Latest appearance Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) (2024)
Greater location Rogueport's surrounding areas
Inhabitants Poison Pokeys, Ruff Puffs, Spiky Parabuzzies, Smorgs
“I saw some suspicious-looking shadowy people wearing hats go into the station... They must've gone down to the bridge-control room to flip the switch there.”
—Riverside Station worker, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)

Riverside Station is an old, deserted train station in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and the only known stop the Excess Express makes between Rogueport and Poshley Heights; the train typically stops at this station so it can be refueled before its commute continues. There was once a river that flowed beneath the bridge here (hence the name "Riverside Station"), but it dried up at an undisclosed time before Mario's arrival and the area has since become a pasture. The station's decommission was quite possibly a result of the Smorg infestation or other enemies that invaded. Despite its dilapidated state, there are two workers at the station.

The Excess Express always arrives at this location during sunset, however the time displayed on the station's clock tower matches that of the Nintendo GameCube's internal clock. This is changed in the remake where the train arrives at 5 PM. The station proper contains a hub area, an elevator, a machinery room, a deck, a garbage dump, and an old office and records room in the station's basement. Some train pictures can be seen on the walls in various places inside the station building. In the Nintendo Switch remake, the train depicted in the pictures more closely resembles the K64 train from the original Paper Mario, which suggests that an engine of its design operated on the railway before being replaced with the current Excess Express.

History[edit]

The train pulling into the station

Before the Excess Express reaches Riverside Station, members of the Three Shadows enter the building and flip the switch to lift the drawbridge. When the train arrives, a Riverside Station worker informs Mario of the dilemma and gives him a key, granting him access to the otherwise locked station. From there, Mario goes to the station's office to obtain the Ultra Boots. Using his newly acquired boots, Mario obtains the Elevator Key and uses it to reach the station's control room. When Mario and his partner reach the bottom, they find numerous Smorgs surrounding the switch to the drawbridge. They knock away the Smorgs and flip the switch to lower the drawbridge, allowing it to fall back into place so the Excess Express can continue its commute. Before the train leaves, the Smorg horde stow away on the train.

  • "This is Riverside Station. It's one of the places where the Excess Express stops. This place is famous for its scenic beauty... It's the sunsets, you know. Just one more of the many pleasures Excess Express passengers get to enjoy."
  • "We're inside Riverside Station. It's an old brick building with natural warmth. Its antique elevator is totally charming, too. I am in LOVE with that thing! You think it works, though? I'm not that fond of getting trapped in elevators..."

  • "This is the other side of the big clock. Lots of endlessly moving gears... A lonely clock, counting out the endless progression of hours, heard by no one..."
  • "We're on the outer stairs. A door at the bottom leads to an underground office. But listen, Mario... Don't spend time worrying about posters that blow away in the wind. Let's just take in this killer sunset for a while before our next bad-guy appointment." (GCN)

  • A station the Excess Express must stop at in order to refuel. Long ago, a river flowed beneath the suspension bridge (GCN) / drawbridge (Switch), but it has since dried up. The view of the setting sun from here is unrivaled, according to locals.

Trivia[edit]

  • The ordinary Goombas in the records room have several oddities that may indicate they were added very late in development: they are an early-game enemy and much weaker than other enemies encountered in the station, they do not thematically fit in with the area like the other enemies do, and despite being located in the records room, they use a battle background depicting the hallway upstairs. No enemies are found in the hallway, so the background may possibly have been leftover from a cut battle with Doopliss, Beldam and Marilyn in this chapter and repurposed for the Goombas.
  • In the Japanese version of Riverside Station, the block below the hidden block that contains a Thunder Rage is a breakable Brick Block. Breaking the block causes it to stay broken until the player leaves Riverside Station. The international versions made this into an Empty Block. In the Nintendo Switch remake, it is changed to a Brick Block containing a coin.
    • The unbreakable block in international versions does not bounce upon being hit like other Empty Blocks do.
