Mario has arrived in Flower Fields. A voice asks who he is. The giant tree is talking to him. The gate to Flower Fields is part of him. He is the Wise Wisterwood, the oldest tree in Flower Fields. He knows of Mario's quest and says the Star Spirit may be here. Unfortunately, Flower Fields is in trouble. Huff N. Puff invaded recently and brought many clouds to the sky. It's been dark and cloudy ever since, because the sun doesn't rise. The plants here are weak and fading. Huff N. Puff took a Star Spirit captive. Mario says he'll defeat Huff N. Puff. Wise Wisterwood says that Huff N. Puff is in the sky, on Cloudy Climb. Mario can't reach him without a Magical Bean or something that grows high. A flower named Petunia may have a Magical Bean, so Mario should find her. She is due east of here.
Where Wise Wisterwood is, there are six paths out of the area. Go due east first to find Petunia. You'll encounter Crayzee Dayzees, enemy flowers with 8 HP and 4 attack power. They will sing, which can hurt Mario or make him fall asleep. Guard when they're done singing, meaning when no more musical notes appear. They may run away if their HP gets low. They give 2 SP. Also in the area is a bee called a Bzzap! Some of them hide in trees. They have 3 HP, but 6 attack power. They can sting Mario, which may poison him, or send a swarm of smaller bees to attack individually, in quick succession. This may shrink Mario. They give 2 SP.
Go east and the music will become intense. There are several Monty Moles in the area, around an angry flower. This is Petunia. Talk to her and she'll tell you that there's no sun, so she doesn't have any energy. She's starting to droop and the Monty Moles are biting her roots. If they aren't stopped, they'll eat her seed collection. She asks Mario to get rid of them. These ones have 12 HP and 3 attack power. They still just throw rocks. They give 2 SP. There are 4 of them. There's also a Crayzee Dayzee behind the tree, but you don't have to deal with it. Once you defeat all of the Monty Moles, Petunia will give you the Magical Bean. She says not to plant it (even though the description says it's twitching as if to say "plant me right now!"). As a seed, it can enjoy freedom. It can't move once it's been planted. So, Mario definitely shouldn't add Fertile Soil and Miracle Water to it and plant it. Hit the tree in the area to get some Red Berries. Keep at least one in your inventory. To the left of Petunia is a hidden panel with a Star Piece. Return to Wise Wisterwood, then go southwest.
There's a red flower guarding a gate. He won't let Mario through, but he can be bribed with something delicious. Give him a Red Berry and he'll open the gate. Here, you'll find Ruff Puffs, small clouds that will attack you. They have 10 HP, 4 attack power and give 2 Star Points. Hit the green tree for a couple of Yellow Berries. Keep at least one in your inventory. Go west. There's a flower by a Crystal Tree. Her name is Posie and she has a long nose due to the fertile soil in the area. She gives some to Mario. Return to Wise Wisterwood and go southeast.
There's a yellow flower guarding the gate here. Give him a Yellow Berry and he'll open the gate. There are thorny vines here, so be careful. Jump over the vines, then have Parakarry help you cross the larger gaps. There are many Crayzee Dayzees here, and rarely, you'll find an Amazy Dayzee. They are yellow and sparkly, and will try to run away from you. If you managed to engage them in battle, they have 20 HP, 20 attack power, and 1 defense power. Most of the time, they will runaway instead of attacking, so the attack power isn't much of a concern. If you want to challenge it at this point, equip badges that will give Mario powerful attacks. If Mario and his party member can do a total of 20 HP worth of damage on their first turns, you'll be okay. Otherwise, you'll have to get lucky and hope the Amazy Dayzee attacks instead of running away so you can attack again. It's worth it, though. Defeating the Amazy Dayzee will give you about 42 SP. This particular area is a great place to find them. To keep finding them, leave to the east and return until you see one to the left of the tree. It can also appear on the ledge to the left, but it's easier to deal with near the tree. Hit the tree for Blue Berries. To the right of the tree is a Star Piece hidden in the flowers. If you are in good shape in terms of health and flower points, you may battle the Dayzees on the ledge. There's a Super Block to the far left. I upgraded Bow. Go east.
There's a drained pool here. Drop down into the pool and get out using the stairs, then go east. There's another pool here, with a flower sitting at the bottom. Her name is Lily and she's throwing a pity party. The spring went dry because Huff N. Puff took the Water Stone. Water flows from this stone and fills the pool. She needs water to recover or else she'll wither. She hopes for a handsome prince to rescue her. She then sees Mario. She says to herself he looks more like a plumber than a prince, but won't be choosy. She asks him to retrieve the Water Stone. Hit the tree in the area for a Jammin' Jelly. Return to Wise Wisterwood, then go due west.
There's a blue flower here who'll open the gate if you give him a Blue Berry. You'll find Lakitus and Spinies here. The Spinies are the ones you'll have to deal with. They have 5 HP, 4 attack power and 3 defense power. Flip them to reduce their defense power to zero or use Watt's Electro Dash. They will roll up and slam Mario. They give 2 SP. While in the area, do not break the brick block near the spring. Have Watt reveal two invisible blocks, one of which is directly above the brick block. Use the spring to land on the invisible block after you hit it, then jump to the brick block. Hit the invisible block above it for a Shooting Star. Go west.
There are a couple of Lakitu here looking for something. They lost the Water Stone, which they need for the Puff Puff Machine. They notice Mario and start a fight. They have 12 HP and 3 attack power. They throw Spiny Eggs at Mario or onto the ground. The ones on the ground become Spinies. The Lakitu give 2 SP each. In the area is a hedge maze that can be tricky to navigate. You can walk around in the low hedges and pass through parts of the tall hedges. Your goal is to reach the pipe in the middle. To do so, enter the hedges, walk north, cut through the tall hedges and walk west until you're north of a section of low hedges that run due south. Go south through the tall hedges and then go east. You should be near the center pipe. Approach the center pipe from the east, going through the tall hedges. The pipe will take you to the west exit. Go back into the hedges from the west side to reach a brick block with many coins, then go west.
There's a flower here, a Rose Spirit named Rosie. She's upset that she's in full bloom and no one's there to admire her beauty. She shows off the Water Stone the Lakitu dropped. Mario wants the Water Stone badly. Mario explains the situation and Rosie is not sympathetic. The Water Stone is hers. She says Lily competes with her in beauty and wouldn't mind if Lily was gone. She will only part with it if Mario brings her something more beautiful.
Go back to Posie (southwest of Wise Wisterwood). Posie says Rosie's a little self-involved. Posie says her roots are connected to the roots of the Crystal Tree, so she can shake the roots to make a Crystal Berry appear, in an unladylike manner. Take the Crystal Berry to Rosie, who happily casts aside the ugly Water Stone. She says to let Lily know that it was she who saved her. Take the Water Stone to Lily and put it in the center of the pool. Water flows from the stone, filling the pool with water. Lily is happy and gives Mario the Miracle Water. She says to get the sun in the sky again. Go west and swim in the pool in this area with Sushie to reach the blue tree. Hit it to make Bubble Berries fall from it. Go back to Wise Wisterwood and save.
