'''Petal Meadows''' (know as '''Star Crystal Field'''<ref>https://youtu.be/VDMEQrZ92IA?t=68</ref> in the demo disk of the game) is a small area in the east, which leads to [[Petalburg]], [[Shhwonk Fortress]] and [[Hooktail Castle]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. [[Mario]] can reach this area by going through a certain gray [[Warp Pipe]] found in [[Rogueport Sewers]]. The plateau is filled with many flowers, trees, and [[Candy Cane]]s. The enemies found here include [[Goomba]]s (as well as Goomba sub-species) and [[Koopa Troopa]]s. It's the only place where [[Horsetail]]s can be retrieved. The full description on the game's map reads, "''Meadows that lie far to the east of Rogueport. It's a warm and flowery place.''"

Petal Meadows is similar to [[Pleasant Path]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

==Areas==

[[Mario]] and [[Goombella]] first enter Petal Meadows from the stony pipe in [[Rogueport Sewers]]. The first scene is straight; Mario can hit the left tree next to the [[Save Block]] and obtain a Star Piece and the right one for a [[Mushroom]]. Another Mushroom is found in a [[? Block]]. When Mario and Goombella run across the grass, they hear a roar as [[Hooktail]] flies above them. Hooktail flies into the background and into her castle.

When Mario, Goombella, and Koops come to the stones, they have to place the [[Sun Stone]] and the [[Moon Stone]] in their proper slots, after which two ! Switches appear. A blue inscription magically appears on the Warp Pipe-shaped stone, which reads:

Mario can press the switches simultaneously by using Koops' Shell Toss ability to hold when he jumps or swings his hammer. After activating the switches, the ground starts to vibrate and the stone is uncarved and reveals a real Warp Pipe to Hooktail Castle in the background.

In the third scene, Goombella tells Mario that he can use her [[Tattle]] ability by pressing {{button|GCN|X}} to obtain information about the area. The pair then reach a river, and the only way to get across is to access the Warp Pipe behind the two clumps of grass to reach the background of the scene, where Mario can jump on a blue [[! Switch]] that creates a red and purple wooden bridge. In the far right of the background, he can find a Star Piece. After the bridge, the player can find a [[Mystery Box (item)|Mystery]] in the second grassy bush and a [[Fire Flower]] in a yellow ? Block. The pair make their way to the gate of Petalburg. After Mario and Goombella's stone key quest, they head back to the start when they are stopped by Koops. He successfully overcomes his timidness to tell Mario if he can go to Hooktail Castle to avenge his long-gone father for everyone, including his [[Koopie Koo|girlfriend]]. Koops then joins the party.

In the fourth scene, Mario approaches Shhwonk Fortress when the area gets a little darker. 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 some small purple ruins.

The fifth scene takes place inside the ruins with pedestals that hold a pair of [[Bald Cleft]]s. If Mario and Goombella defeat them, the dungeon door rises up and the pair can proceed.

The seventh scene takes place inside the second ruins with pedestals that hold a pair of [[Bristle]]s. If Mario and Goombella defeat them, the door rises and they can continue.

In the eighth and last scene, there is the main entrance to the fortress. Along the way, the pair bump into a few enemies. They can collect the [[Inn Coupon]] behind a broken wall and next to it is a ? Block that holds another Fire Flower. At the end of the path, they can use their first [[Recovery Block]] to restore HP and FP.

*''Ah, the Petal Meadows. A plateau surrounded by hills far to the east of Rogueport. It's mild and pleasant here all year round. I love it! Doesn't it feel nice? ...Oh, hey, and Mario? If you hit a tree, sometimes something good falls out. I know that came out of left field, but I mean it! If you see a tree, smack it!

*''Ah, the Petal Meadows. The scenery's super-nice, but be careful of all the Goombas. Make sure you've always got enough HP and FP to fight, will ya? Oh, and you can press {{button|gcn|Z}} to check your stats, too.
