Twilight Town is a small town located via brown warp pipe from under west Rogueport.
History[]
On his first arrival, Mario finds that the town is cursed by Doopliss, turning the villagers into pigs every time a bell rings. He also finds the fourth Crystal Stars there. Obtaining it gives him Art Attack. It is a town that is very dark and depressing as the people are too. With Vivian's ability to make Mario and herself invisible, they can eavesdrop on the crows, which gives important information. Apparently the Twilighters, although seeming to be miserable, are quite happy with their existence, as Darkly, the only Twilighter to be seen outside of the town, says he prefers dark and dank places (he is found behind some houses in the east side of Rogueport), and the innkeeper in the town tells Mario to "Have a nice twilight".
To pass onto the Twilight Trail, Mario must pass the gatekeeper, but he needs the mayor's permission. When Mario goes back to Mayor Dour, he's a pig, and when Mario goes to the gate, so is the gatekeeper. So Mario passes and can go into the barn to get a key, then uses Koops to get another past a tree log. He returns to the shop and goes into the storage room where Mario get another ability. Mario can use it to get past the tree log and go onto the Twilight Trail.
If Mario wins he gets it and runs off with his partners. But Doopliss steals Mario's body and friends, impersonates him, and steals his name. When he returns to the village, he finds Superbombomb, a bomb for Vivian that doesn't work and she comes to help Mario. Whenever Mario tries to pass the small barn area, Doopliss challenges Mario and no one can take damage. Mario must run away to pass. A notable Twilighter is Mayor Dour. Dour literally means gloom. Another notable Twilighter is Darkly, located in Rogueport slightly left of Professor Frankly's; also the grandson of Mayor Dour).
In the remake, a notable change to Twilight Town was that, in the empty house in the middle of the town, a warp pipe was added that leads directly into the Creepy Steeple. This was done to cut down backtracking between going back to reveal Doopliss' name and then returning to the Creepy Steeple to fight him for the final time in the chapter.
