“Well, here we are! The Petal Meadows, where folks say a Crystal Star hides.”
Goombella, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Petal Meadows (known as Star Crystal Field or Petal Plains[1] 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 Pops. The enemies found here include Goombas (as well as Goomba sub-species) and Koopa Troopas. It is the only place where Horsetails can be retrieved. East of Petalburg is a wooded area to Shhwonk Fortress called the Path to Shhwonk Fortress.

Petal Meadows is similar to Pleasant Path in Paper Mario.

Areas[edit]

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.

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:

(GameCube version)

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

(Switch version)

"Here beginneth the path to dread Hooktail Castle. Weaklings, retreateth! Ye who seeketh to proceed, a power of two must hitteth both switches simultaneously. *** Addendum *** This challenge is easyeth-peasyeth if ye use the skill of a Petalburg Koopa!"

Mario can press the switches simultaneously by using Koops' Shell Toss ability to hold when he jumps or swings his hammer. After activating the switches, the ground starts to vibrate and the stone is uncarved and reveals a real Warp Pipe to Hooktail Castle in the background.

In the second scene, there are three Goomba types in the yellow grass: regular Goombas, Paragoombas, and Spiky Goombas. There is a red ? Block that contains the Close Call badge, as well as a pipe that leads Mario up to the tall pipe where he can obtain the Happy Heart badge on top of a high Brick Block by using Koops. Mario can hammer the Candy Pop at the end of scene ten times to obtain Horsetails.

In the third scene, Goombella tells Mario that he can use her Tattle ability by pressing X Button 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 father for everyone, including his girlfriend. Koops then joins the party.

Area tattles[edit]

  • 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 Z Button to check your stats, too. (GCN)
    • Ah, the Petal Meadows. The scenery's super-nice, but watch out for all the Goombas here. Make sure you've always got enough HP and FP to fight, will ya? Oh, and you can press R Button to check your stats, too. (Switch)
  • The river running through here totally makes the air crisp and refreshing. Hey, and by the way, Mario, have you tried checking the grass around here? Sometimes those clumps of grass hide good stuff, so always check them with A Button!

Map description[edit]

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