The '''Dot Wood Tree''', the setting for Chapter 3-3 in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', consists of three stages. In the first stage, the player must climb up the trunk of the tree, hopping from platform to platform.  The second stage takes place inside the tree, where Mario and friends must manipulate red and blue switches to make platforms of their respective colors appear.  After clearing the second stage, the player engages in a battle with [[Dimentio]]. It is here that it is first revealed that Dimentio has a hidden agenda. The final stage takes place among the leaves, where the player must reach the top of the tree and use the red wind to carry them over to a pipe to the end of the level, as [[Barry]] instructed.

The '''Dotwood Tree''', the setting for Chapter 3-3, is a large pixelated tree that appears in [[The Bitlands]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Its name is a pun on "[[wikipedia:Cornus (genus)|dogwood tree]]" and "dot".

The Dotwood Tree has three main areas, an outside area, an inside area, and the top. The outside is mainly a series of platforms and blocks, with two electronical screens that show pixelated arrows. In the Japanese version, the first screen instead shows「ガンバレ」(''Ganbare'', "Do your best"), while the second screen shows「アトスコシ!!」(''Ato sukoshi!!'', "Almost there!!"). Up above is a [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] near a [[? Block]] containing a [[Slow Flower]]. Further up are a [[Poison Cherbil]] and a [[Tileoid B]]. To the left are some flipping blocks in 3-D, which can be used to reach a platform from which [[Princess Peach|Peach]] can float over to the right and continue upward. Past a [[Koopa Troopa]] is a post, when [[Ground Pound]]ed with [[Thudley]], reveals a moving platform. Further up are some [[Tileoid G]]s, another Poison Cherbil and a Paratroopa. To the right, there is a pipe leading to a secret area containing several [[coin]]s. Back outside the pipe are a few more platforms, followed by a door overgrown by bark. The bark must be burned away using [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]] so that the tree can be entered.
 
The tree's interior is populated by several Tileoids and [[Crazee Dayzee]]s. This area requires the use of switches that alternate between blue and pink, with different colored platforms appearing depending on the state of the switches. At the start of the area is a pipe that takes the player all the way to a small room at the top. The room contains a [[Save Block]] and a blue switch, which must be hit to make pink platforms appear. The player can then go back down to the bottom using the pipe and move upward with the platforms. There is another switch and some moving platforms that can be used to reach a ground pound post, which creates a ladder down the aforementioned switch, allowing the player to return to the post with the pink platforms active. Moving upward further, there is a pipe in 3-D leading to an area with several spikes moving up and down in the floor. [[Slim (Pixl)|Slim]] must be used to pass them and hit another switch. The newly created blue platform can be used to reach a small opening with spikes at the bottom and a switch in it. [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]] must be used to hit the switch. He must then be placed again, then blown after the pink platforms are used to create blue ones.
 
There are some more moving platforms, as well as a pipe leading to two [[Chain Chomp]]s, which give up one of Peach's [[Catch Card]]s when defeated. Further up, a pipe leads to a room with a moving platforms moving right through a wall of spikes. Slim must be used. There is another switch, but a pink platform traps the player in the room unless Boomer is used to blow the switch after they pass the offending platform. Using the pink platform, the player reaches a spot directly below the room at the top. There is a block containing a [[Super Mushroom|Super Shroom]] and a switch that reveals a door at the very top of the tree's interior. The player must go back down to the bottom and go through the pipe to reach the door.
 
Outside, the heroes encounter [[Dimentio]], who warps them to [[Dimension D]] and battles them. He is defeated, however, and leaves the heroes to their work. Elsewhere, he muses to himself about helping the heroes defeat [[Count Bleck]].
 
The top of the tree has several [[Lakitu]]s and [[Spiny|Spinies]], as well as a lot of wind. Red wind is solid and must be ridden to a pipe that leads to the end of the level.
