__NOTOC__
'''Mayor Dour''' is the mayor of [[Twilight Town]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It's easy to tell him from other [[Twilight Towner]]s because of his large mustache and eyebrows. The word "dour" is a synonym for "gloomy", which is an appropriate description of Mayor Dour and his town.

'''Mayor Dour''' is a [[Twilighter]] and the mayor of [[Twilight Town]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The word "dour" is a synonym for "gloomy", which is an appropriate description of Mayor Dour and his town. In keeping with the ragdoll-esque appearance of the Twilight Towners, patches of fluff and loose threads can be seen on his head.


He helps [[Mario]] during his visit to Twilight Town by explaining the pig problem. Mario needs his permission to pass the gate into the [[Twilight Trail]] to [[Creepy Steeple]]. Ironically, Mayor Dour turns into a pig right before Mario can visit him to ask him about it, but fortunately for Mario, the guard blocking the Twilight Trail turns into a pig as well, and the hero can thus continue on his way.
==History==
Mayor Dour helps [[Mario]] during his visit to Twilight Town by explaining the pig problem. Mario needs his permission to pass the gate into the [[Twilight Trail]] to [[Creepy Steeple]]. Before Mario can request permission, however, Dour turns into a pig, but the guard blocking the Twilight Trail additionally turns into a pig, thus granting Mario access to Creepy Steeple.


==Names in other Languages==
After Mario supposedly defeats [[Doopliss]], who was causing the pig curse by use of a bell in the Creepy Steeple, the citizens are turned back into normal, including Dour. A little later, Dour posts a [[Newsletter...|trouble]] at the [[Trouble Center]] in [[Rogueport]] (available after Chapter 4), in which he is asking for someone to deliver a Silver Club newsletter routing slip for him. If Mario takes on the trouble, he needs to visit Dour to receive the [[Routing Slip]] from him. The Routing Slip then needs to be delivered to the [[Puni elder]] inside [[the Great Tree]] in [[Boggly Woods]], who then asks Mario to deliver the slip to Mayor [[Kroop]] in [[Petalburg]]. Kroop then asks Mario to deliver the slip to Dour, and when Mario does so, Dour rewards him with thirty [[coin]]s.
