Magic Seed Mania
If you have not done so already, you must collect all four magical seeds for Mihn T.
 * Seed locations
 * Across from the pipe that leads to the sewers in Toad Town
 * Along the path before Dry Dry Desert
 * In the center of the 3rd map while making your way to Boo's Mansion
 * Give the Volcano Vase to Kolorado after beating chapter 5

Berry Points and Item Points
You are going to need HP and FP during your time here and to have a decent stock.

HP Berry tree is Right-Center of the save point, simply walk out of the area and come back in, and you can keep getting the Items to heal yourself before and after encounters.

FP Berry tree is Right-Bottom of the save point and does the same thing. Once your fully stocked and healed, it is recommended that you always save at the Save point before heading out on your next task.

Clouds in the Fields
When you enter the Flower Field, you'll speak to Wise Wisterwood who will direct you to find Petunia, a flower to the East that enjoys collecting seeds but not planting them. Take a second and speak to each of the flowers in the area near the save cube. They will give you some tips on finding her. There is a larger flower near the left bottom path who will try to trick you. Each of his 'tips' are the opposite of true, so keep that in mind.

Using the right center path, head into the field. There are friendly-looking flower enemies as well as bees. Both are easy to defeat but the flowers will run away if their health gets low so defeat them quickly.

Continue east and head into another new path, there you'll find Petunia looking angry. Speak to her and she'll ask you to defeat the four Moles.

Mole Patrol
When you approach the moles, you'll either be fighting 1, 2, 3, or 4 at a time. Kooper's power shell or dizzy shell are good for the battles with multiple moles. In between battles you can visit the tree near the entrance and hit it to get red berries that will boost your HP.

After you've defeated the moles speak to Petunia. She will give you a magical seed that 'should definitely not be planted with fertile soil or magical water.'

Before you leave, get enough berries to restore your health +1. You'll need an extra berry in a few minutes. You can leave the area and come back to get berries as needed. This will be your main source of health while you're here.

A Present from Posie
Head back to the save cube area and save the game. Then, go to the left bottom path and give your extra red berry to the flower guarding the gate there. This will give you full access to the path as well as a new tree. This one gives you yellow berries when hit.

There is a new enemy in this area, with 10 HP points its a bit tougher than the others but still not a huge problem. Continue on the path and you'll see a crystal tree with a flower named Posie in front of it. After speaking with Posie, they'll give you fertile soil that you can use later.

On your way out, grab as many yellow berries as you need +1 to use in a few minutes.

Lilly in Trouble
Head to the save cube to save the game, then go into the right bottom path and give the guard a yellow berry. Once you're through, you'll need Parakarry to help you get across these paths. For the first few, he can carry you but be sure to jump off early.

Head the tree and grab some blue berries. These can raise your FD, so recharge and grab an extra for later. Then continue east until you run into Lilly. She requests that you get the water stone back so that the water will return. After accepting her request you can head back towards the entrance.

Before you leave, head up the set of stairs next to the blue berry tree. Past the flower enemies there is a partner upgrade box. Exit the area then save the game.

Through the Hedge Maze
Head into the left center path and give a blue berry to the flower guarding the gate. You'll then come upon a maze, however before you can enter 4 of Bowser's goons, in the maze looking for the water stone that they dropped, will fight you.

Defeat these 4 and then continue into the maze. One hint for getting through: you only need to go through the tube in the very center of the maze (the rest are unnecessary). To get to this tube look for hidden pathways in the grass. After reaching the far-west side of the maze, keep going until you find Rosie, the Rose Spirit.

She lets you know that she has the water stone, but she will not give it to you unless you replace it with something shiny. So head back to Posie and ask them for a crystal berry, then trade it for the water stone.

Return the Water Stone
Return to where you left Lilly and she'll instruct you on where to place the water stone. After doing so, the area will fill with water.

Head back to the path directly west of you and use Sushie to swim to the tree in the center of the water. Here you can collect some bubble berries.

The Bubble Berry
Go to the left top path and give a bubble berry to the flower there. It will blow a bubble, allowing you to cross the spikey vines and continue on the path. After crossing switch to Bombette.

While walking, you'll see some stairs, walk up them and use Bombette to blow up the rock at the top. After doing this, you can drop down through a hole and retrieve a mega smash badge. Walk to the next path and use Bombette again, this time to blow up a rock underneath the stairs of the castle you come up on.

The stairs will shift, revealing a new walkway. Climb the stairs and speak to the sun at the top. He will reveal that he feels like a failure for letting the flowers down. Head back towards the entrance.

This time you'll be stopped by one of Bowser's minions, named Lakilester. He seems apprehensive to fight you, but challenges you anyway. Mario's dizzy jump or another dizzy attack will save you from some damage.

Defeat Lakilester (aka Spike) and his mom, Lakilulu, will appear. After interacting with the two of them, Lakilester denounces Huff N. Puff and decides to join you on your journey. Now you can fly over spiked areas.

A Tip from the Sun
The sun is located above and to the left of the save Point. Once you get to the sun he will tell you that the Huff N' Puff machine is somewhere to the east. You need to get to him for your next companion encounter.

Spike appears
On your way back from the sun you will run into Spike. Spike is a simple encounter that leads to you getting your companion. He stays in the air, so use anti-air like Parakarry and make sure you use Power Jump, Power Bounce or Hammer Throw. After defeating him he will join your party.

The Puff-Puff Machine
Now that you have spike in your party you can destroy the Huff N' Puff machine located above and to the right of the save point. Which brings you to the Block Puzzle. With spike you can put in the sequence:


 * Red Block Far Left
 * Green Block Far Right
 * Purple Block Left of Far Green Block
 * Green Block Far Left
 * Green Block Far Right
 * Purple Block Far right

Once you're finished you can get past a few enemies and zip by them. Then you come to the Huff N' Puff machine. This fight will have three Cloud guys and a witch, who all hit for 4 damage and will likely get the attack off, be careful. To trigger the fight you just have to hit the machine with your hammer, so you have prep time. Use Multi Bounce, and your new companion's move to strike all enemies for 6, then follow up with Star power to hit for 7. Once defeated hit the machine on both sides to destroy it with your hammer.

The Magic Bean
Now that you have your items go to the save point. Plant your Soil Bean then water and watch it grow. Make sure your prepped, full health and FP for your battle in the sky.

Battle in the Sky
Boss fight, Huff N. Puff.

Huff N' Puff is an air enemy as well as all his aides. Hammer moves are useless except Hammer Throw, which is recommended. Otherwise use hard hitting jump moves and items like Lighting to hit him hard and all his aides.

Whenever you inflict damage on him, he will shed Tuff Puffs. He can inhale the Tuff Puffs to restore any damage you deal to him.

Destroy these Tuff Puffs with an AOE (Area of Effect) move. Such as your Star powers or item stocks. Spike is recommended for his Anti-Air AOE.

PEACH: Relief Search
As peach you now have the transformation mirror umbrella, use it on a guard and go to the guard at the top of the stairs. He will let you pass.

Go to the top and he will give you a Castle Key to get to the next area to find his relief. The relief won't leave his post cause he is too sleepy, steal his appearance and head back to the guard and follow the path to the end.
