'''Petal Meadows''' (known as '''Star Crystal Field''' or '''Petal Plains'''<ref>https://youtu.be/VDMEQrZ92IA?t=68</ref> in the demo disk of the game) is a small area in the east, which leads to [[Petalburg]] and [[Hooktail Castle]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. [[Mario]] can reach this area by going through a certain gray [[Warp Pipe]] found in [[Rogueport Underground]]. The plateau is filled with many flowers, trees, and [[Candy Pop]]s. The enemies found here include [[Goomba]]s (as well as Goomba sub-species) and [[Koopa Troopa]]s. It is the only place where [[Horsetail]]s can be retrieved. East of Petalburg is a wooded area to Shhwonk Fortress called the [[Path to Shhwonk Fortress]].

[[Mario]] and [[Goombella]] first enter Petal Meadows from the stony pipe in [[Rogueport Underground]]. The first scene is straight; Mario can hit the left tree next to the [[Save Block]] and obtain a Star Piece and the right one for a [[Mushroom]]. Another Mushroom is found in a [[? Block]]. When Mario and Goombella run across the grass, they hear a roar as [[Hooktail]] flies above them. Hooktail flies into the background and into her castle.

 

<blockquote>''"Here beginneth the path to dread Hooktail Castle. Weaklings, retreateth! Ye who seeketh to proceed: a power of two must hitteth both switches simultaneously. {{color|red|*** Addendum ***}} If ye are a Petalburg Koopa, huzzah! Your HOLD ability maketh this chore a snap!"''</blockquote>

 

 

 

In the third scene, Goombella tells Mario that he can use her [[Tattle]] ability by pressing {{button|GCN|X}} to obtain information about the area. The pair then reach a river, and the only way to get across is to access the Warp Pipe behind the two clumps of grass to reach the background of the scene, where Mario can jump on a blue [[! Switch]] that creates a red and purple wooden bridge. In the far right of the background, he can find a Star Piece. After the bridge, the player can find a [[Mystery]] in the second grassy bush and a [[Fire Flower]] in a yellow ? Block. The pair make their way to the gate of Petalburg. After Mario and Goombella's stone key quest, they head back to the start when they are stopped by Koops. He successfully overcomes his timidness to tell Mario if he can go to Hooktail Castle to avenge his long-gone [[Koopley|father]] for everyone, including his [[Koopie Koo|girlfriend]]. Koops then joins the party.

*''Ah, the Petal Meadows. A plateau surrounded by hills far to the east of Rogueport. It's mild and pleasant here all year round. I love it! Doesn't it feel nice? ...Oh, hey, and Mario? If you hit a tree, sometimes something good falls out. I know that came out of left field, but I mean it! If you see a tree'' (GCN) / ''suspicious tree'' (Switch)'', smack it!

*''Ah, the Petal Meadows. The scenery's super-nice, but be careful of all the Goombas. Make sure you've always got enough HP and FP to fight, will ya? Oh, and you can press {{button|gcn|Z}} to check your stats, too.'' (GCN)

 

*''Meadows that lie far to the east of Rogueport. It's a warm and flowery place.''

*The background used outside of the [[Mario Bros.' House]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' appears to have been modeled after that of Petal Meadows, retaining its dark, swirly areas featured on clouds and light blue lines through the sky.
