The first area of the level is mostly empty, save for some [[Hard Block]]s and a [[? Block]] containing a [[Super Shroom]]. Soon, the heroes come across a [[Cragnon]] named [[Flint Cragley]], who is filming an [[Flint Cragley, Cragtrotter|adventure show]] in the caverns. After brainstorming several title ideas for the episode, Cragley notices the heroes and asks them what they are underground for. He then explains that his camera crew is lost in the caverns and he needs them to continue. He tells the heroes to keep an eye out.

Down a [[Warp Pipe]], there is a room with a locked door, several pipes, and some [[Buzzy Beetle]]s and [[Spike Top]]s. All of the pipes are unusable except the farthest one. Through the pipe is an area which resembles [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-1]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' This area is full of Buzzy Beetles, Spike Tops, [[Spania]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Putrid Piranha]]s and [[Floro Sapien]]s. There are also many [[Brick Block]]s and ? Blocks. About halfway through the area is a door. Nearby, there is a block with a ladder that leads to a [[Coin Heaven]]-like area, which is also a shortcut through some of the area. Through the door is a track which can be ridden in a minecart. At the end of the track is a pipe that leads to a seemingly empty room, revealed to be filled with Floro Cragniens in 3-D. By [[flip]]ping during the cart ride, though, the player can take a deviating track that leads to a door. Through the door is a room with many Floro Sapiens and Cragniens, as well as a [[Zombie Shroom]]. In a small alocove, the heroes find [[Hornfels]], Flint Cragley's boomer, who returns to Flint when the heroes tell him where he is. They then return to the main area of the caverns.

Through the pipe, the heroes encounter [[O'Chunks]] and [[Dimentio]]. Dimentio warps everyone to [[Dimension D]] and reveals a Floro Sprout on O'Chunks's head, which he has used to brainwash the warrior and rename him "O'Cabbage". Dimentio teleports away and leaved his creation to fight the heroes. O'Cabbage is much faster than normal and is also more unpredictable. However, he is still defeated and the sprout falls off his head, dead. Not remembering anything, O'Chunks prepares to fight his enemies, but leaves after hearing his stomach growl. The heroes take the dead Floro Sprout, able to wear it without being brainwashed. After they leave, Dimentio appears and muses about how powerful the heroes have become.

By wearing the Floro Sprout, the heroes are able to bypass the scanner at the beginning of the level and enter [[King Croacus IV]]'s palace. The palace is decorated with much gold and jewels, as well as paintings of the four rulers of the Flora Kingdom. Several Floro Sapiens guard this area. Beneath each painting is a cracked floor that can be destroyed by [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]] to access a small pit. Each pit contains a switch block that changes colors when hit, alternating between blue, red, black and white. There is a Floro Cragnien and an [[Ultra Shroom]] in the first pit, nothing aside from the switch block in the second pit, a Floro Cragnien in the third pit, and a Save Block in the fourth pit. By matching the switches' colors to the colors of their respective paintings, the heroes reveal a door, leading to King Croacus himself.

King Croacus initially believes the heroes to be some of his slaves, but soon realizes that they are intruders. Switching to a battle form, he attacks them. They defeat him and he begins to wilt. The Floro Sapiens enter and mourn their king. They explain to the heroes the it was the Cragnons who (accidentally) started the war by polluting the water with trash. Drinking it drove King Croacus and the Floro Sapiens mad. Flint Cragley hears this and claims that he knew all along, promising to tell the Cragnons. Recognizing the heroes for who they are, the Floro Sapiens hand over the indigo Pure Heart, grateful for peace.
