The Thousand-Year Door, like the [[Crystal Star]]s and the Palace of Shadow it leads to, was created to hold back [[Shadow Queen|a horrifying demon]] that had destroyed the town that once stood within Rogueport's boundaries. The [[Black Chest Demon|Four Heroes]]' designing made it so that the Crystal Stars were required to open this door, although their seal on the door would only last for a thousand years and was therefore continually weakening before the events of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. When [[Mario]] placed all seven Crystal Stars before the door, the dark power caused the door and walls around it to crack. A vortex spewed out, and for the first time in a millennia, the Shadow Queen's stolen home was open. During the events of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', the so-called "treasure" behind the Door was eventually thought to be the Shadow Queen herself, but the ending actually showed that there was indeed a treasure of sorts behind it: a near-useless [[Dried Shroom]] (its possible that before, the treasure was a unique deluxe and special Mushroom, though it dried out after being sealed for 1000 years).

Because of legends and probably a bad vibe from the area, very few people have even dared to touch the door. Interestingly enough, the door seems thin because of its height, but in comparison to Mario, it should be several feet thick.

The Thousand-Year Door is an object in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This massive door is said to have a treasure behind it. Generations of locals have created myths about what is behind it, and nobody knew that it turned out to be the entrance of the Palace of Shadow. The only character who knows Rogueport's true history is Grifty.

The pedestal in front of the Thousand-Year Door

The Thousand-Year Door, like the Crystal Stars and the Palace of Shadow it leads to, was created to hold back a horrifying demon that had destroyed the town that once stood within Rogueport's boundaries. The four heroes' design made it so that the Crystal Stars were required to open this door. However, their seal on the door would last for only 1,000 years and was, therefore, continually weakening before the game's events. When Mario places all seven Crystal Stars before the door, the dark power causes the door and walls around it to crack. A vortex spews out, and the entrance to the Palace of Shadow is opened. The so-called treasure spread in rumors is revealed as the Shadow Queen herself, but the ending shows a Dried Mushroom. Its discoverer, Professor Frankly, is still happy with his finding because it proves that civilizations ate mushrooms 1,000 years ago.
