| '''Storyline text'''
| | {{spoiler}} |
| <blockquote>''With a bold quiver of his magnificent mustache, Mario let loose a hearty sneeze.''
| | Following his adventures with the two Bridgemasters of [[Yold Town]], [[Mario]] found himself in the Yold Desert. The heat made him weary, yet he pushed onwards. The desert was covered in quicksand and the spikeless living stones, [[Bald Cleft|Bald Clefts]]. Not much occured through the desert voyage, though Mario encountered many new enemies and discovered the [[Fast Flower]] and [[Slow Flower]]. |
|
| |
|
| ''A single grain of sand had flown along the warm wind and tickled the hero's nose.'' | | After learning from a statue of [[Fracktail]] to jump ten times while beneath a red palm tree (this wasn't his first dealings with such a tree; he had to spin around one in [[Dry Dry Outpost]] earlier in ''[[Paper Mario]]''), Mario encountered none other than [[Count Bleck]]'s burliest minion, O'Chunks. The two did battle, but Mario emerged the victor thanks to the help of [[Thoreau]]. |
|
| |
|
| ''It wasn't long before Mario and Tippi found the source of the sand: the Yold Desert.'' | | Eventually after following the guidance of one or two additional statues, Mario found a blue altar. Thanks to the [[Player|player]]'s pressing of the 1 and - buttons at the same time, the entrance to the Yold Ruins was revealed. This too wasn't new to Mario; the opening of the gate was similar to the [[Eagle Gate|Eagle Gates]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. |

| | Taking a deep breath, Mario entered the Yold Ruins. |
| | | {{endspoiler}} |
| [[Mario]] comes to this area after exiting [[Yold Town]]. The first area has a rock, four [[Squiglet]]s, and one [[Squig]]. A Squig [[Catch Card]] can be found in 3D behind a rock. There are four [[? Block]]s in this area, but in 3-D, there are twelve, as well as a Squiglet on them. Most of the ? Blocks contain [[Coin]]s, but some of them also contain [[Pal Pill]]s, a [[Happy Flower (Super Paper Mario)|Happy Flower]], and a [[Speed Flower]]. The next area has three Squiglets and two ? Blocks (four in 3-D). One contains a [[Mushroom]], and the other contains a [[Zombie Shroom]]. Nearby is a red palm tree. Next to the red palm is a rock, a 3-D [[Bald Cleft]], and some [[Quicksand]]. Near the quicksand are three Bald Clefts, two 3-D Squiglets, six [[Brick Block]]s, and two ? Blocks, one of them containing a Mushroom. Next is a rock next to a pile of quicksand. Six Brick Blocks appear above the Quicksand, with a [[Boomboxer]] on one of the blocks.

| | |
| A [[Jawbus]] and a 3-D Bald Cleft are at the end of this area. There is also a door at the end of this area.The second area starts off with a rock and a Bald Cleft. some Quicksand appears afterwards, along with a [[Cherbil]] and two 3-D Bald Clefts. There is one big rock, which in 3D is an arrow pointing right to a hidden path. The path leads to a large area, empty except for a pillar called a "Yold Signpost." The inscription on it reads "Find ye the tall red palm tree of fortune, and leapeth under its branches ten times," indicating the palm tree in the first area. If the player decides to continue on, however, two Goombas with the ability to flip will appear next to the rock. A large wall made of Hard Blocks forces the player to flip to continue on. Three Goombas are on the other side of the wall, along with three Quicksand pits with four Bald Clefts (two 2D and two 3D) and a Boomboxer at the end of the area. Going back to the first area and following the signpost's instructions causes a door to appear.

| |
| The next area has a Squig and some blocks in the air that can only be reached by the use of a [[Springboard]] with flipping rectangles that can ferry Mario across a pit of quicksand and over a wall. Beyond the wall is a Squig, a Squiglet and some blocks, one of which holds a Zombie Shroom. There is a large pit of quicksand that is crossed by a bridge in 3D. Here, there are two [[Spiked Goomba]]s some more flipping rectangles, but they are frozen. There is a switch boxed up by blocks, except for one opening, which can be used to get [[Thoreau]] in and hit the switch to activate the rectangles. This next area has six Squiglets on the wall when in 3-D, one Squiglet on the ground and one Squig, one 3-D Spiked Goomba, a door, a [[Save Block]], and several blocks in the air leading to a [[Warp Pipe]]. The pipe leads to an underground room full of blocks, most containing coins, but one holds a [[Super Mushroom|Super Shroom]].

| |
| Through the door, Mario and the [[Pixl|Pixls]] find [[O'Chunks]], who challenges Mario to a fight. Tippi recommends [[Tattle|Tattling]] him with her ability and discovers that being thrown makes him dizzy, providing an easy method of defeating O'Chunks. After dispatching him, Mario is able to continue through the desert.
| |
| | |
| In the next area, there are four Goombas with flip abilities, one 3-D Goomba, two [[Ice Cherbil]]s (one 2D and one 3D), and two sets of moving platforms in the air, each leading to a door. There is also a [[Ghost Shroom]] behind a rock. The left door leads to another Yold Signpost. This one tells of a blue platform that Mario must stand on and press the {{button|wii|1}} and {{button|wii|-}} buttons. Doing so opens the entrance to [[Yold Ruins]], revealing the [[Star Block (Super Paper Mario)|Star Block]].

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *The name "Yold" is a combination of "ye" (old way of saying "the") and "old", and the language used in the Yold Signposts is [[wikipedia:Early Modern English|Early Modern English]]. | | *The Yold Desert's name derives from a corruption of a combination of ''the'' and ''old'', followed by ''desert'', which is what it is. Part of its name may have driven inspiration from the Yoll Graveyard from ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages'' and, though less likely, Yarna Desert from ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''. |
| *The opening of the gate is similar to that of the [[Mask Gate]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. | | *The entrance to the Yold Ruins is a reference to the Eagle Gates from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. |
