'''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.
'''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 has the only [[inn]] in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' that has more than one room (not counting Rogueport). This inn is similar to the [[Marrymore]] suite from ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.
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.]]

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, and Bub, as well as several Penguins and Toads. Toodles owns a summer home here, and Lady Bow and Bootler also vacation here after Mario and company defeat the Shadow Queen. Sir Grodus, Lord Crump and the 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's 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.

Along with Rogueport, Poshley Heights has the only 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 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 Meal prepared by Zess T.
