'''Downtown of Crag''' is an area in the [[Land of the Cragnons]] (therefore making it Chapter 5-1) which appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It includes a village which is home to the [[Cragnon]]s, although there are probably other Cragnon villages located elsewhere. Surrounding the Downtown of Crag lies the [[Gap of Crag]], where the [[Floro Caverns]] are located.


Despite its primitive appearance, Downtown of Crag has stereo systems, [[Cragvision]] sets, and other modern electronic devices, though all are made from rocks.

'''Storyline text'''
The first time [[Mario]] entered Downtown of Crag, he found himself suspended in mid-air; the <font color=#008080>[[Land of the Cragnons|Cyan Door]]</font> opened directly into the air.  After a humorous little remark from [[Tippi]], the plumber fell to the ground.

''They still needed to find three Pure Hearts...''
It just so happened that two Cragnons were pleading to the '''Big Rock Who Watches''' (possibly a reference to the [[Player]]), wanting their race to be saved, directly below Mario. Believing Mario to have been sent by the Rock, they welcomed him and briefed him on what was happening: the [[Floro Sapien|Floro Sapiens]] were capturing Cragnons!  As if on cue, some Cragnons were shortly thereafter captured, and the chase began.


Mario's chasing of the Floro Sapiens led him through a rocky, barren area infested with [[Putrid Piranha|Putrid Piranhas]], Muths, and interestingly [[Moon Cleft|Moon Clefts]]. In the end, after solving Cragnon puzzles Mario and his party reached the [[Gap of Crag]].

When [[Mario]] and co. come out of the cyan [[Dimensional door|door]], they discover that they are in midair and fall to the ground. Meanwhile, [[Jasperoid|two]] [[Skarn|Cragnons]] perform a chant to the "Big Rock Who Watches", a deity of some sort, asking for deliverance from their enemies. The characters fall right between the Cragnons, who, believing them to have been sent by the Big Rock Who Watches, carry them back to their town. The [[Marbald|village leader]] pleads with the heroes to help the [[Cragnon]]s in the fight against the [[Floro Sapien]]s, an underground-dwelling plant race. The player may say no, but will be unable to leave the village until they return to Marbald and agree to help, though they will be able to visit the Cragnons' houses at this time. The heroes eventually comply and as they do so, an attack immediately commences. The heroes defeat two Floro Sapiens, but the rest escape with several Cragnons. Mario and co. race off to find them.
 
The Cragnon village consists of several caves where Cragnons live, as well as one of [[Howzit]]'s shops. Far to the right is a door and a [[Save Block]]. Once the player leaves the village, they see the Floro Sapiens escaping to the left. To the right are two [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, one of which contains a [[Putrid Piranha]]. Two [[Cleft#Super Paper Mario|Moon Cleft]]s and a [[Back Cursya]] can also be found near the pipes. Down the second pipe is an underground room with two [[Shlorp]]s. Defeating the Shlorps awards the player with one of [[Bowser]]'s [[Catch Card]]s. Following the Floro Sapiens will take the player to some high mountains with a Moon Cleft at the top, and a few more when Flipped into 3-D on the bottom. A Moon Cleft card can be found in 3-D behind the first mountain. Crossing the mountains will take the player to three blocks in a row, which must be hit in a certain order. The heroes may speak to Jasperoid to get the code: left, right, middle. Hitting the blocks in that order with reveal a pipe.
 
The pipe leads to an area with several [[Muth]]s and three more blocks. Once again, Jasperoid knows the code, but will only help the player after they say "please" five times. The code is: middle, right, left, left, right, middle, right, left, right, right, middle, right, right, left, middle, middle, left, left, left, right, left, left, left, middle, middle. Once again, the blocks reveal a pipe that takes the player into the background, allowing them to pass a mountain and reach the [[Star Block (Super Paper Mario)|Star Block]].

Chapter 5-1: Downtown of Crag[edit]

Storyline text

Still worried about Tippi's condition, Mario and friends opened the fifth door.

They still needed to find three Pure Hearts...

But the imminent destruction of the world was approaching at an alarming pace.

Would Mario have enough time to save the day?

And what foul trick would Count Bleck and his goons come up with next?

This adventure grew more dangerous...and more thrilling... with every step!

Floro Sapiens
Mario's first encounter with Floro Sapiens.

When Mario and co. come out of the cyan door, they discover that they are in midair and fall to the ground. Meanwhile, two Cragnons perform a chant to the "Big Rock Who Watches", a deity of some sort, asking for deliverance from their enemies. The characters fall right between the Cragnons, who, believing them to have been sent by the Big Rock Who Watches, carry them back to their town. The village leader pleads with the heroes to help the Cragnons in the fight against the Floro Sapiens, an underground-dwelling plant race. The player may say no, but will be unable to leave the village until they return to Marbald and agree to help, though they will be able to visit the Cragnons' houses at this time. The heroes eventually comply and as they do so, an attack immediately commences. The heroes defeat two Floro Sapiens, but the rest escape with several Cragnons. Mario and co. race off to find them.

The Cragnon village consists of several caves where Cragnons live, as well as one of Howzit's shops. Far to the right is a door and a Save Block. Once the player leaves the village, they see the Floro Sapiens escaping to the left. To the right are two pipes, one of which contains a Putrid Piranha. Two Moon Clefts and a Back Cursya can also be found near the pipes. Down the second pipe is an underground room with two Shlorps. Defeating the Shlorps awards the player with one of Bowser's Catch Cards. Following the Floro Sapiens will take the player to some high mountains with a Moon Cleft at the top, and a few more when Flipped into 3-D on the bottom. A Moon Cleft card can be found in 3-D behind the first mountain. Crossing the mountains will take the player to three blocks in a row, which must be hit in a certain order. The heroes may speak to Jasperoid to get the code: left, right, middle. Hitting the blocks in that order with reveal a pipe.

The pipe leads to an area with several Muths and three more blocks. Once again, Jasperoid knows the code, but will only help the player after they say "please" five times. The code is: middle, right, left, left, right, middle, right, left, right, right, middle, right, right, left, middle, middle, left, left, left, right, left, left, left, middle, middle. Once again, the blocks reveal a pipe that takes the player into the background, allowing them to pass a mountain and reach the Star Block.
