Petalburg is a town which appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is mostly inhabited by Koopa Troopas, including Koops and Kroop, and the latter even serves as the mayor of Petalburg. Hooktail has been terrorizing the town prior to the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Description[]

Petalburg is a beautiful town that has houses and a fountain. The Item Shop is located in the middle of the first area while Kroop's house is the pink house of the second area.

Etymology[]

Petalburg may have been named after a real-world city in Russia, Saint Petersburg.

History[]

Mario and Goombella arrived at Petalburg where a Koopa Troopa told them about Hooktail. Mario and Goombella head to Kroop's house where he thinks they are burglars. However, Mario explained that he is not one of them. Mario asks Kroop about the Crystal Star is. Kroop replied that Hooktail has it and asked Mario to get rid of him. Mario agreed and Kroop allowed Mario to enter the Shhwonk Fortress to get the Sun Stone and Moon Stone. Mario set off for this task and Koops halted Mario. Koops asked Mario something but immediately left. Mario and Goombella head for Shhwonk Fortress where they reenter Petalburg with the Sun and Moon Stones. Mario and Goombella then head for Hooktail Castle. Much later, Mario arrived back in Petalburg where Koops' dad allowed Koops to continue his journey with Mario. Mario then sets out for the next Crystal Star.

Later, Bowser and Kammy Koopa visited Petalburg where Bowser thought he saw Peach near a window. However, a Koopa Troopa snatched the poster. Shocked and disappointed, Bowser left Petalburg.

Mario returned to Petalburg to find General White to activate the cannon at Fahr Outpost. However, General White is absent. A Koopa Troopa told Mario that General White went to see a giant tree.
