'''Poshley Heights''' is a posh village that [[Mario]] visits to acquire the [[Garnet Star]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The [[Excess Express]] stops at the Poshley Heights Station, the main form of transportation into the village, though a pipe later opens through which Mario can access the village. It is the home of many affluent individuals, including [[Goldbob]], [[Sylvia (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Sylvia]], and [[Bub]], as well as several [[Bumpty|Penguin]]s and [[Toad (species)|Toads]]. [[Toodles]] owns a summer home here, and [[Lady Bow]] and [[Bootler]] also vacation here after Mario and company defeat the [[Shadow Queen]]. [[Grodus|Sir Grodus]], [[Lord Crump]] and the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] are also shown to have ended up in Poshley Heights after the Shadow Queen's defeat; however, when Mario goes to the place where they can be seen in [[Goombella|Goombella']]s [[Mailbox SP|email]], they cannot be found there. The town's main attraction is the [[Poshley Sanctum]], home of the Garnet Star, where [[Pennington]] serves as manager when he is not performing detective work.  
'''Poshley Heights''' is a posh village that [[Mario]] travels to by riding the [[Excess Express]] to get the [[Garnet Star]], in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It is also the home of many wealthy celebrities, including [[Goldbob]] and [[Toodles]]. It also has very expensive items. Many [[Bumpty|Bumpties]] live here as well. [[Lady Bow]] and [[Bootler]] vacation here after Mario and company defeat the [[Shadow Queen]]. [[Sir Grodus]], [[Lord Crump]] and the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] are also shown to have ended up in Poshley Heights after the Shadow Queen's defeat, but when Mario goes to the place where they can be seen in [[Goombella|Goombella']]s [[Mailbox SP|e-mail]], they can't be found there.


Along with [[Rogueport]], Poshley Heights has the only inn, [[Inn|Royal Poshley Park Tower]], in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' that has more than one room, though it is the most expensive at 30 [[Coin|coins]] per stay as opposed to the average 5-10 coins. Royal Poshley Park Tower's suite, the only room in which Mario and his party can stay, is similar to the [[Marrymore]] suite from ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. The morning after Mario rests at the Royal Poshley Park Tower, the staff serves him an [[Omelette Plate|Omelette Meal]] prepared by [[Zess T.]]

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the house adjacent to the hotel, the [[Bumpty|Penguin]] at the far end of the room references [[Shiver City]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. While [[Tattle|tattling]] the Penguin near the front door reveals that he bought the house because of the sales of [[Herringway]]'s novels, as the Penguin is a relative of Herringway.
*In [[Goldbob]]'s pool, there are [[Nibble]]s.
*The name, Poshley Heights comes from the word "Posh", meaning fashionable.
*In the purple house, the back [[Bumpty]] references [[Shiver City]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''.
*After Chapter 8, [[Goombella]] says that [[Grodus]], [[Lord Crump]], and a few [[Elite X-Nauts]] currently resided in Poshley Heights, but they are never seen in-game.
