After the completion of Chapter 5, [[Kent C. Koopa]] blocks the west exit of Pleasant Path. If the player wishes to go through Pleasant Path in this way, the player can defeat Kent C. Koopa before proceeding or they could alternately pay him 100 coins to pass. However, it is possible to go to the other side by unlocking the pipe from [[Toad Town Tunnels]] and [[Koopa Village]].

[[Mario]] first enters Pleasant Path from [[Toad Town]]. The first scene is straight, with a [[Koopa Troopa]], a [[Paragoomba]] and a [[Spiked Goomba]], as well as various blocks where Mario can find coins, a [[Fright Mask|Fright Jar]] and the [[Dizzy Attack]] badge. On Mario's way back to Toad Town after clearing [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]], [[Jr. Troopa]] will jump out of a bush and ask Mario if he knows him. Either way, the two will get in a fight. After Chapter 5, [[Kent C. Koopa]] will appear here, blocking [[Kolorado]] and [[Mario]] from passing. Mario can pay or fight with him in order to pass.

In the second scene, there is first a [[? Block]] with a [[POW Block]] item in it, then a river. Mario must hammer the tree and press the [[! Switch]] dropping from the tree to make a bridge appear. Over the river are a [[Spiked Goomba]] above a brick, a walking [[Goomba]], and some stairs. To the south is an island with a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]] on it, which [[Mario]] can get by tossing [[Kooper]]. On the first stair, a [[Sleepy Sheep]] can be found behind the fence. On the second is a [[Koopa Troopa]]. Finally there are four bricks, the last of which contains multiple coins.

In the third scene, three [[Candy Pop|Candy Cane]]s can be found on the high area. They give out [[Heart (item)|Heart]] if Mario walks around them. There is also a [[Honey Syrup]] behind the last Candy Cane and a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]] under a hidden panel between the three. There is also a roadsign. From the high area Mario can either go across the bridge to the next scene or take the stairs around the platform to [[Koopa Village]] beneath the bridge. Before the entrance of Koopa Village, there are three brick blocks on the ground. Hammering them in the order of left, right, back reveals a red [[? Block]] with the [[Attack FX B (Paper Mario)|Attack FX B]] badge in it.

There is an [[! Switch]] across the river, which [[Mario]] has to activate in Chapter 1 by tossing [[Kooper]] from [[Koopa Village]] for a bridge. Finally there is a [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] as well as two bricks, between them an invisible block containing a [[Fire Flower]].

In the fifth scene (the path before [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]]), there is first a tree by the north side with a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]] in it, then a [[Koopa Troopa]] and a Paratroopa on the road. At the end of the road is a [[Heart Block]]. After [[Bombette]] joins the party, [[Mario]] can set her off at a cracked wall and take the pipe behind it. This warps Mario to a high place where he can find a [[FP Plus]] badge in a treasure chest. Outside Koopa Bros. Fortress is a [[Save Block]] near the main gate, a Save Block in the south balcony, and the [[Refund]] badge in a [[treasure chest]] on the southeast one.

==Profiles and statistics==

*'''Area Tattles:'''

**"''To the west of here is [[Toad Town]], and to the east is [[Koopa Village]]. If we go even farther east, we'll eventually reach [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]].''"

**"''It's always pleasant around here. That's why we call this place Pleasant Path. It's nice and warm today, too. Incidentally, lots of [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s live around here.''"

**"''Koopas like to live around Pleasant Path because there's plenty of water for them to lounge in. Koopa Village is down this way. If you want to go to Koopa Bros. Fortress, we should take the upper path and just keep going straight.''"

**"''If we continue along the pass, we should reach Koopa Bros. Fortress. Many Koopas and Paratroopas live around here. If they're loyal to [[Bowser]], they'll definitely attack us.''"

**"''Just east of here, we can see Koopa Bros. Fortress. Actually, we're probably already on fortress grounds. That arch certainly looks like a part of it. And there are lots of bad guys, too.''"

*'''Map description:''' ''This path links [[Toad Town#Paper Mario|Toad Town]] and [[Koopa Village]]. [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] is to the east.''
