Toad Town

Toad Town is the capital city of the Mushroom Kingdom. It first appeared in the 2000 game Paper Mario. As of yet, the story of Toad Town's creation and development remains unexplored. Chronologically, the first appearance of the town occurred in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, just prior to the Shroob invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom. As the capital of the kingdom, Toad Town and Princess Peach's Castle were the aliens' first targets. They attacked with Shroob UFO's, neutralizing the area with their offensive weaponry. Ruthlessly, they assaulted both buildings, such as Princess Peach's Castle, and people, such as the Toads walking outside in the streets. The aliens weren't able to capture the young princess herself, however, as she had escaped into the future.
