'''Forever Forest''' is a dark and maligned wood east of [[Toad Town]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Only specific pathways can be used to traverse the forest, as any deviation will lead back to the entrance. Each path is closed off by tree stumps with long, linear branches acting as {{wp|turnstile}}s. A distinguishing feature in the nearby foliage, from the behavior of flowers (which resemble {{wp|Cornus canadensis|creeping dogwood}} flowers) or bioluminescent fungi to glowing eyes in a tree hollow, indicates the correct pathway. At the end of the wood stands [[Boo's Mansion]], inhabited by [[Lady Bow]] and her [[Boo]] servants. [[Oaklie]] and a [[Bub-ulb]] are the sole other residents of the forest. Beyond the mansion leads to [[Gusty Gulch]], home of a small Boo village and [[Tubba Blubba's Castle]].

If [[Mario]] and his partners attempt to explore Forever Forest prior to having completed Chapter 2, Oaklie will stop them at the start of the second area, explaining that he tries to keep unprepared people from wandering into the forest and getting lost and warning them that the path ahead is extremely dangerous. In Chapter 3, Mario and his partners must go through the forest to reach Boo's Mansion after receiving an invitation from [[Bootler]]. They explain to Oaklie that they are invited to Boo's Mansion, and Oaklie lets them proceed further. After finishing Chapter 3, Mario and his partners encounter [[Jr. Troopa]] who is lost in the forest on their way back to Toad Town. Jr. Troopa seems frightened at first, but becomes happy to fight Mario. After he is defeated, he will finally manage to find his way out of the forest.

A [[Magical Seed]], an [[HP Plus (badge)|HP Plus]] badge, and an [[FP Plus]] badge can be found by exploring the forest. The Magical Seed is necessary for Mario to enter [[Flower Fields]] in Chapter 6.

*"''Boy... The forest is really dark and spooky. People say that if you don't choose exactly the right path, you'll get totally lost. I can believe it. This looks like the type of place where you get lost and then monsters come out of the grass and... Hey! Did you notice that grass over there rustling? I swear I saw it move!''"
