Prior to the events of chapter two, Petuni lived a normal life with the other Punies. During that time, she went for a walk in [[Boggly Woods]] to find a [[Mushroom]] as a present for her older brother. However, the Punies' home, [[the Great Tree|a Great Tree]] in the woods, was eventually infiltrated and taken over by the [[X-Naut]]s who were searching for the [[Emerald Star]]. During the overtake, Petuni's brother Punio escaped from the intruders and went to get assistance. After the X-Nauts conquered the tree, they attempted to get information about the whereabouts of the Crystal Star out of the [[Puni elder]], but the elder refused to tell them anything, and so Petuni, along with the elder and several other Punies, were imprisoned in an iron cage.

The player enters the events when Mario arrives with Punio. Punio is shocked when he learns that his sister has disappeared, but quickly finds out that she has merely been taken away and is relieved after he sees that she is unharmed. Mario and Punio eventually manage to set her and the other Punies free by finding a [[Blue Key (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Blue Key]]. In the following reunition scene, Petuni gives Punio the Mushroom she picked earlier, which has dried out and regressed to a [[Dried Shroom]] since that time. She is ashamed at the fact, but Punio simply eats the Mushroom and tells her that it is fine. Petuni and the other Punies then join Mario's party and fight by his side to reclaim their home from the X-Nauts.  

After Mario and the Punies have managed to drive the X-Nauts out of the Great Tree, Petuni and the others return to their daily lives. Petuni can be found next to a creek inside the entrance area of the tree. She is terribly bored because her brother cannot play with her. If Mario decides to play a game called [[Stump Petuni]] with her, he can receive a [[Mystic Egg]] from Petuni's egg collection. Petuni also sends an [[Mailbox SP#Petuni: Yoo hoo!|e-mail]] to Mario, in which she wishes for him to come play with her.

Petuni is seen later in the cutscene during Mario's fight with the [[Shadow Queen]]. Along with the other Punies, she prays to the Emerald Star for Mario's and [[Flurrie]]'s success. After that, Petuni is seen one last time when Mario is about to leave Rogueport. Petuni and her brother come to the harbor shortly before the boat arrives and present fresh Mushrooms to Mario and [[Princess Peach]].
