Rogueport

From Paper Mario Wiki


Rogueport is the main setting of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It lies near the edge of Mushroom Kingdom. It is home to nice folk and thieves alike, as well as two gangs, the Piantas and Robbos. There are many buildings and important people. One notable place is the Rogueport Sewers where pipes and treasure lies underground. Proffessor Frankly is also a notable character as he is the one who travels with you briefly at the beginning and shows you how to use action commands.

In the eastern part of town there is a help building were you can take on other people problems and complete them for a reward. In the middle of town There is Podley's Inn were many sailors from near and far come for a relaxing drink. Upstairs is the actual inn which houses Toadsworth. If you go out the side door and go left you well come upon a badge shop which can sell and buy badgdes. Also in the center of town a foreigner who sells goods also appear. Make sure you have money and speak to him when ever you can. He has some rare items.

The nicer, friendly side of Rogueport lies to the west and features the Pianta Parlor and the Happy Lottery. The Pianta Syndicate owns this side. The Robbos inhabit the east and are currently feuding with the Pinata's. To the north is the train station that takes you through a 3-day train ride to get to a city for the rich. The south of Rougeport also is the port where all sailors tell their stories of there adventures. After the completion on Chapter 5 new Toads will be in town. Overall, this town is a fairly decent town. If you hold your ground you can keep your belongings without losing them.

[edit] Residents

The majority of the population is considered to be thieving and notorious, fitting the city's name. This is more true in the eastern side of Rogueport. Toads, Bob-ombs, Goombas, Doogans, Craws, Piantas, and Bandits make up the majority of the population.


[edit] Rogueport in Detail

[edit] The Docks

The docks are starting point of Mario's adventure. Right after arriving, he meets Goombella and gets into a big fight with the X-Nauts. The workers at the docks are not surprised by struggles in the area and try to warn Mario to keep away from Lord Crump.

Ships are said to regularly anchor at the place. During his adventures in Rogueport, Mario takes Cortez's ship to Keelhaul Key from here.


[edit] The Plaza

Rogueport Plaza
The plaza is the market of Rogueport, with the gallows in the center. The place is home to the Toad Bros. Bazaar, an item shop, and the Lovely Howz of Badges, a badge shop, as well as Podley's soda bar with an inn upstairs, and a Toad House. Zess T. has her house on the west side and Charlieton is frequently seen in the streets. There is also a rope for hanging people in the center.

The town separates the west side controlled by Don Pianta and the east side ruled by Ishnail. Neither of the opposing parties seem to have a total control over the market place. Several criminals hide in the back of the tall buldings.




[edit] East Side

The east side is an insecure place ruled by the Robbo Gang of Ishnail. Bandits roam the streets, and when Mario first enters the area, he immidately gets robbed half his coins. The place is dirty, the houses are in a bad shape. This place is home to Merlon and Professor Frankly. The pipe to the Rogueport Sewers is just outside Professor Frankly's house. The far east part of the east side is guarded by Gus. Mario has to pay him or fight him in order to pass. In that area, there is the Trouble Center, the Robbo Gang's hideout and Bobbery's house. Several persons like Grifty and Darkly are hiding in corners or on top of buildings.


[edit] West Side

The west side is a relatively secure area of Rogueport controlled by the Pianta Syndicate of Don Pianta. Don Pianta's own residence is also here. The place is much cleaner than the east side, and there is a fountain and a small park. The Pianta Syndicate runs the Pianta Parlor and the Westside Goods store in the area. Lucky, who manages the lottery, is also found here. There is a grate which Mario can use to get to the Rogueport Sewers.

At the northern part of the west side, there is the train station and airport. Mario can take the Excess Express to Poshley Heights here and the Cheep-Cheep Blimp to Glitzville.
