Flower Fields is a plain in the northwest area of the Mushroom Kingdom in Paper Mario. It is home to the Bub-ulbs and the location of the sixth Star Spirit, Klevar. The only way Mario can enter Flower Fields is to go through a magic door in Minh T.'s garden unlocked by the Magical Seeds. Upon arrival, Mario finds Flower Fields dark and cloudy, learning that it is under attack. Huff N. Puff and his minions plan to cover the meadows in clouds and prevent the Sun from shining on the fields, causing Flower Fields and its Bub-ulb and flower inhabitants to slowly wither. Throughout Chapter 6, "Dark Days in Flower Fields", Mario and his partners explore around the Flower Fields, doing the flowers favors and getting items in return. Lakilester comes and joins Mario's party at one point. Finally, Mario grows a beanstalk with the Magical Bean, Fertile Soil and Miracle Water collected on the way and uses it to climb up to Cloudy Climb, where he defeats Huff N. Puff and saves the Star Spirit.

Flower Fields has a main hub with three paths on each side leading to various areas. The center hub also contains the vine that leads to Cloudy Climb, Wise Wisterwood, and a naughty flower named Tolielip that gives false information. Wise Wisterwood, the elder of the fields, serves as the portal to Toad Town.

The paths that sprout from the hub:

Flower Fields is the only area in the game devoid of a Heart Block, Toad House, or any other form of instant healing. It is also the only area with Amazy Dayzees, a kind of enemy that drops a lot of Star Points.

The Magical Seeds are indeed the only way to get to Flower Fields; according to the map, the area is surrounded by mountains. This area also does not have a Warp Pipe leading to it.

Notable residents

Area Tattles

  • "This is the portal between the flower garden in Toad Town and Flower Fields. The Wise Wisterwood, who's the elder of this fair land, watches over the area. Talk about a big tree!"
  • "There's another platform up there, but I don't think we can get up there. I hate these flower patches! They totally cover me! Those three trees seem to be important to me. If we hit them right, something might drop."
  • "Petunia makes her home here. But I didn't know that Monty Moles did, as well."
  • "A tree's been cut down here. And there's a well. Do you think we can get water from there? You never know, something might be living in there... What if something weird jumps out at us? Well, it could!"
  • "Since it's called Flower Fields, you know there have to be lots of flowers around here. But there are also a few trees."
  • "What crystal clear water! Just looking at it refreshes me! I feel like a new Goomba!"
  • "I guess they couldn't call it Flower Fields without flowers. Me, I'd rather have some tasty fruit than pretty flowers. As short as I am, when we walk through flowers, I can't see a thing! And I have allergies! It's not a whole lot of fun."
  • "Boy, if you like flowers, this is the place to be. Look at all the foliage! Hey, by the way, blue trees produce Bubble Berries."
  • "It looks like there hasn't been water here in a while. And there's just one flower. How very sad."
  • "Look at all the flowers. Even the flowers blooming along the road are beautiful here in Flower Fields."
  • "It's a hedge maze. I hope we don't get lost. I'm not very good at mazes. Still, I know you'll get us through all right. You're Mario!"
  • "Oh, I love rose gardens! Roses are just the best. Although they do have thorns, don't they? All of the most beautiful flowers have thorns. At least that's what they say."
  • "Lily looks happy in her replenishing spring, huh? It's so much more beautiful here when there's water flowing. Do you think this water flows to all parts of Flower Fields? I've heard that this water is absolutely bursting with healthy nutrients."
  • "Look, a flower blowing lots of bubbles! Will wonders never cease?"
  • "This area is full of flowers. Red flowers, blue flowers, yellow flowers... even orange flowers are blooming. It looks like there are a lot of Lakitus in bloom, too."
  • "It's the Sun Tower. This is where the sun comes to rest. Do you think it's waiting here or being forced to stay?"
  • "Green, purple and red... the platforms are all different colors. If you jump on them hard, they'll move up and down. We need to figure out the right order to move them in."
  • "There are flower patches bordering this path. It looks peaceful, but there are lots of briar patches and enemies around, so be careful."
  • "What happened to the wall here? It looks like it collapsed. This place seems very different from the rest of Flower Fields."
