| Inhabitants | Monty Moles, Clefts, Toads, Whacka |
Mt. Rugged is a rocky mountain in the southeast of Mushroom Kingdom in Paper Mario. The foot of the mountain can be accessed from Toad Town via the K64 train. In Chapter 2, Mario and his partners must climb the mountain in order to get to their destination behind the mountain, Dry Dry Desert. Mt. Rugged is where the player meets Parakarry, a Paratroopa who tells them that he has lost letters all over the Mushroom Kingdom, including several on Mt. Rugged. The player must first locate Parakarry's three letters on Mt. Rugged; once the player has achieved this, Parakarry will join the party. Mario needs Parakarry to hover across a broken bridge on the mountain as well as to get the Magical Seed here.
Buzzar is also encountered here. The player has the choice of battling him, which can help get him Star Points; alternately, he can tell Buzzar that he is Luigi, and Buzzar will surprisingly leave him alone.
Mt. Rugged is where Whacka can be found. When Whacka is hit with Mario's Hammer, an item appears from his head called Whacka's Bump. Eight of these can be acquired until Whacka disappears. There is a Toad girl who is a Whacka lover near the train station. When Mario talks to her, she expresses her adoration of the Whacka, and after the Whacka's disappearance, her worry about where it could have gone. A Super Block can also be found in the area near the train station, but it is blocked by a Stone Block. It is accessible only after getting the Super Hammer from Dry Dry Ruins.

Profiles
- Tattles:
- This is the Mt. Rugged station on the Dry Dry Railroad line. Not much grows around here or on the barren mountain.
- What a steep mountain!
- Watch out for the sneaky Monty Moles that are common to this area. They're dirty fighters. They pop up from underground and chuck rocks at people. The cowards!
- Phew! Maybe we ought to take a break! I didn't realize the road up would be so rough! Of course, as nice as it would be to take five on a rock, you have to watch yourself. Enemies disguise themselves as rocks. They're nasty and spiky, so keep your eyes open.
- Whoa! We're pretty high up! Ooog... I feel a little faint. I never told you this before, but I have a fear of heights.
- In-game map description: It's a very rugged, rocky mountain. Dry Dry Railroad's Mt. Rugged Station is here. Dry Dry Desert is on the other side of Mt. Rugged.
