'''Petal Meadows''' (known as '''Star Crystal Field'''<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 Cane]]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]] (originally also called Petal Meadows in the GameCube version).

When Mario, Goombella, and Koops come to the stones, they have to place the [[Sun Stone]] and the [[Moon Stone]] in their proper slots, after which two ! Switches appear. A blue inscription magically appears on the Warp Pipe-shaped stone, which reads:

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 Box (item)|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 father for everyone, including his [[Koopie Koo|girlfriend]]. Koops then joins the party.

==Trivia==

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