Poshley Heights is a posh village that Mario visits to acquire the Garnet Star in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The Excess Express stops at the Poshley Heights Station, the main form of transportation into the village, though a pipe later opens through which Mario can access the village. It is the home of many affluent individuals, including Goldbob, Sylvia, and Bub, as well as several Penguins and Toads. Toodles owns a summer home here, and Lady Bow and Bootler also vacation here after Mario and company defeat the Shadow Queen. Sir Grodus, Lord Crump and the X-Nauts are also shown to have ended up in Poshley Heights after the Shadow Queen's defeat; however, when Mario goes to the place where they can be seen in Goombella's e-mail, they can't be found there. The town's main attraction is the Poshley Sanctum, home of the Garnet Star, where Pennington serves as manager when he's not performing detective work.
Along with Rogueport, Poshley Heights has the only inn, Royal Poshley Park Tower, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door that has more than one room, though it is the most expensive at 30 coins per stay as opposed to the average 5-10 coins. Royal Poshley Park Tower's suite, the only room in which Mario and his party can stay, is similar to the Marrymore suite from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. The morning after Mario rests at the Royal Poshley Park Tower, the staff serves him an Omelette Meal prepared by Zess T.
