The '''K64''' is a steam locomotive on the railway lines between [[Toad Town]] and the station at [[Mt. Rugged]]. In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[Mario]] had to take the train to Mt. Rugged in order to proceed to [[Dry Dry Desert]]. To access the train, he first had to destroy a rock blocking the railway lines with [[Bombette]]. Mario then was able to frequently use the railways free of charge.
The '''K64''' is a steam locomotive on the railway lines ([[Dry Dry Railroad]]) between [[Toad Town]] and the station at [[Mt. Rugged]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Its name is a reference to the [[Nintendo 64]] (which is abbreviated as "N64") and is mentioned on the back of the [[List of Toad Town News in Paper Mario|Toad Town News Flash]] board after Chapter 1. [[Mario]] has to take the train to Mt. Rugged in order to proceed to [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]]. To access the train, he first must destroy a rock blocking the railway lines with [[Bombette]]. Mario is then able to use the railways free of charge.
 
The K64 is similar to the [[train (obstacle)|trains]] that appear in [[N64 Kalimari Desert|Kalimari Desert]] from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. The background music that plays while Mario rides the train is an arrangement of the music from Kalimari Desert as well.
