However, much like Peach's Castle, the appearance, design, and layout of the town has varied greatly each time it has reappeared, though it has almost always been depicted as a flourishing and cheery place. | ||

Notes[edit]
- A pre-release screenshot of Paper Mario shows Toad Town's west gate labeled as "Mushroom Kingdom" instead of "Toad Town" in an earlier point of development, similar to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
- Toad Town has also been mentioned to in other games, such as Animal Crossing, where Gulliver talks about his pet goldfish in Toad Town, and similarly about his goldfish in Hyrule.
