Discoveries

Name	Dialogue
The Flower Pedestal	"Here in the middle of Camp Central, you'll find a large Flower Pedestal. There's always a pleasant breeze blowing from it. Long ago Propeller Flowers were used to fly all over the kingdom. You can fly almost anywhere with one. So convenient, wouldn't you say? I'm quite certain they'll come in handy for tracking down the Koopalings!"
Bellabel Flower	"High in the sky in Bellabel Park, you'll find a Bellabel Flower in full bloom. When it sways, it makes a soothing ringing sound. It sets my heart at ease! Oh, also, the Bellabel Flower provides water to those who play in the park. We call it Bellabel Water, in case you're curious. I wonder why it provides water, though. Maybe it thinks we're sprouts or some such? The mysteries are unending..."
Bellabel Water	"Bellabel Water is a source of energy for flowers! If you give it to a sprout, it invigorates the seedling and causes it to fully bloom! I'd like to try a sip of the magical water myself, but I'm a little nervous... I wonder what would happen... Maybe a vine would sprout out of my back..."
The History of Bellabel Park	"Here in Bellabel Park, our honored ancestors lived out their lives. It seems there were ancestors who looked like the prince too. Our ties go back so far! I can't help but wonder why they ended up leaving this place. It's so wonderful here, after all..."
The Flowers of Bellabel Park	"The stone slabs have depictions of flowers from across the Flower Kingdom. Long ago, Bellabel Park was bursting with flowers, almost like a botanical garden. Long ago, Bellabel Park was bursting with flowers, almost like a botanical garden. In fact, it could be that the flowers of the Flower Kingdom originated here! I imagine our ancestors rode the wind, delivering flowers all across the kingdom!"
Stone Slabs and Attractions	"Over in Attraction Central there have been many small stone slabs discovered. On those stone slabs are images of our ancestors gathering together to play. By reenacting those depictions, we might solve Bellabel Park's mysteries! Of course, some of us are just having fun instead of focusing on research... Wait! Having fun... I wonder. Yes! Perhaps that's the key to unraveling Bellabel Park's mysteries! Ah, my understanding of the park and its mysteries is growing all the time!"
The Secret of Bellabel Park	"If my theory is correct, then this place we call Bellabel Park... Well it would've served as everyone's playground! After all, each of the stone slabs depicts different ways to have fun. I wonder if our ancestors wanted them to serve as a record of all the fun they had. If the captain were to find out, then the brigade may well be disbanded. I think I'll keep this information to myself for now. You should too!"
