Paleo Plains

Covering most of Rockstar Island, Paleo Plains is mostly home to introduced wild enemies from Super Mario World, as well as Yoshis. They all roam peacefully in their land unless disturbed, in which case they will chase the disturber down relentlessly. With all its recent fossil finds, Paleo Plains has been much topic over discoveries, but since archaeologists and researchers want to preserve the land they will only try to find and use fossils that either appear above ground or are located in the uppermost soils.

In Summary: Mario and Dr. Kyorito traverse through Paleo Plains in order to get to the Ancient Altar. As they go deeper into the pathway, they become more aware of the Crexagon's presence and have to narrowly avoid it.

Points of Interest

 * Dillusional Forest: A forest that makes you think twice before entering. Being in it can cause hallucinations due to the strange chemicals that surround the area related to the Dino Rhinos scorching the forest's centre, otherwise prior to their introduction this forest wouldn't have produced these side effects naturally.
 * Scorched Lands: A small area deep in Paleo Plain's Dillusional Forest that is completely scorched. It is inhabited by a large herd of Dino Rhinos, with its leader being an Albino Rhino that does not take kindly to strangers.
 * Dine-O River: On the pathway to the Ancient Altar is a small flowing creek and bridge that has been formed through fallen down trees. It is a frequent spot for lots of wild Super Mario World dinosaurs who come down to the creek to drink its water. No dinosaurs will attack Mario at this point as the creek has become a place of temporary truce and tranquility, which makes it a peaceful meditation spot for many.
