The '''Floro Caverns''' is a vast cave system which serves as the setting of Chapters 5-3 and 5-4 in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is the home of the [[Floro Sapien]]s, who use it to mine gems for [[King Croacus IV|their king]], who resides in a palace deep in the caves. [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]] and [[Bowser]] meet the [[Pixl]] named [[Dottie]] here. | The '''Floro Caverns''' is a vast cave system which serves as the setting of Chapters 5-3 and 5-4 in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

Down a [[Warp Pipe]], there is a room with a locked door, several pipes, and some [[Buzzy Beetle]]s and [[Spike Top]]s. All of the pipes are unusable except the farthest one. Through the pipe is an area which resembles [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-1]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' This area is full of Buzzy Beetles, Spike Tops, [[Spania]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Putrid Piranha]]s and [[Floro Sapien]]s. There are also many [[Brick Block]]s and ? Blocks. About halfway through the area is a door. Nearby, there is a block with a ladder that leads to a [[Coin Heaven]]-like area, which is also a shortcut through some of the area. Through the door is a track which can be ridden in a minecart. At the end of the track is a pipe that leads to a seemingly empty room, revealed to be filled with Floro Cragniens in 3-D. By [[flip]]ping during the cart ride, though, the player can take a deviating track that leads to a door. Through the door is a room with many Floro Sapiens and Cragniens, as well as a [[Zombie Shroom]]. In a small alocove, the heroes find [[Hornfels]], Flint Cragley's boomer, who returns to Flint when the heroes tell him where he is. They then return to the main area of the caverns. | Down a [[Warp Pipe]], there is a room with a locked door, several pipes, and some [[Buzzy Beetle]]s and [[Spike Top]]s.

Through a path of Hard Blocks, some of which are actually Brick Blocks, as seen in 3-D, the player will reach a crossways, a room with several Floro Cragniens below and an area where [[Monzo]] is found above. Monzo is Flint Cragley's cameraman, who also goes back to his boss. | ||
The heroes, too, go back to Flint, who demands a [[Cave Key|key]] from his crew. However, they claim that Flint took the key, fearing the crew would lose it.

The heroes continue on with [[Flint Cragley]] [[Monzo|and]] [[Hornfels|crew]] until they reach what appears to be the [[Floro Sapien]] capital. Flint and his crew move ahead to continue filming, while the heroes continue their mission to find the [[Pure Heart]]. After passing a [[Putrid Piranha]] and some Floro Sapiens, they go through a hall and come across a room with what appears to be a scanner. A [[Floro Cragnien]] stands under the scanner and it searches its head. It then allows him to pass. The heroes, however, cannot pass. Heading back down the hall, there is an area with a tiny pipe, three [[? Block]]s, one containing a [[Mushroom]] and the other a [[Zombie Shroom]]. There is also a [[Warp Pipe]] leading further underground. | The heroes continue on with [[Flint Cragley]] [[Monzo|and]] [[Hornfels|crew]] until they reach what appears to be the [[Floro Sapien]] capital.

In the next area, there is a [[Save Block]] next to a white door, leading to an area with another door that will not open without a [[Card Key]]. To the right is a pipe spawning Floro Sapiens and, to the far right, a locked door. In 3-D, Mario finds a hidden area with two Floro Cragniens and a large button. The button will only activate using the combined weight of a hero and an enemy, which can be held by [[Thoreau]]. The button reveals a pipe, leading to a room with a door on the right and a pipe on the left. The door leads to a room with two [[Reversya Cursya]]s, a pipe in the center and a door on the right. The door leads to a room with three [[Spike Top]]s and a pipe on the right, which leads to a room with a [[Blomeba]] and writing on the wall reading "Behind the Skull", according to [[Tippi]]. The door to the left leads to a room with two [[Heavy Cursya]]s, a pipe in the center and another door on the left, leading to a room with two [[Spania]]s. This room has a drawing of a skull on the wall, which releases a key when [[Fleep]] is used on it. | In the next area, there is a [[Save Block]] next to a white door, leading to an area with another door that will not open without a [[Card Key (Super Paper Mario)|Card Key]].

The key unlocks the previously mentioned locked door. There the heroes find the [[Pixl]] [[Dottie]], who is hiding with a [[Cragnon]] named [[Gabbro]]. Gabbro is initially afraid of the heroes, but Dottie convinces him that they are benevolent. She then tells Gabbro that they must part ways, as he needs to return home and she needs to join the heroes. She is able to shrink the heroes to fit into small spaces. This allows them to enter a small hallway in the room through the white door and collect a card key to enter the Processing Center, where Cragnons are outfitted with brainwashing [[Floro Sprout]]s. By hitting a giant [[! Switch]] with [[Thudley]], the heroes free the Floro Cragniens, but must use Hard Blocks to avoid [[stomp]]ing the Cragniens and reach a pipe. (Oddly, a [[Cursya]] is present in the Processing Center). | The key unlocks the previously mentioned locked door.

King Croacus initially believes the heroes to be some of his slaves, but soon realizes that they are intruders. Switching to a battle form, he attacks them. They defeat him and he begins to wilt. The Floro Sapiens enter and mourn their king. They explain to the heroes that it was the Cragnons who (accidentally) started the war by polluting the water with trash. Drinking it drove King Croacus and the Floro Sapiens mad. Flint Cragley hears this and claims that he knew all along, promising to tell the Cragnons. Recognizing the heroes for who they are, the Floro Sapiens hand over the indigo Pure Heart, grateful for peace. | King Croacus initially believes the heroes to be some of his slaves, but soon realizes that they are intruders.
