Path to Shhwonk Fortress is an area east of Petalburg leading to Shhwonk Fortress in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is a wooded area scattered with weathered stone walls and is darker than Petal Meadows.
In the GameCube original, both the Path to Shhwonk Fortress and Shhwonk Fortress are considered to be part of Petal Meadows on the Magical Map.
Areas
Path to Shhwonk Fortress only consists of the wooded area just beyond Petalburg. A Star Piece can be found in the first northern clump of grass and a POW Block in a ? Block on the ground. Mario also encounters red Koopa Troopas as common enemies. He eventually passes through destroyed walls and enters a small purple gatehouse, where Shhwonk Forest begins.
Enemies

Items
In the remake, due to grass becoming more paperified, hitting it with hammer will cause it to spawn Coins at random.
