'''Flower Fields''' is the second of the seven stages of [[Grass Land (Kirby's Epic Yarn)|Grass Land]] in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]''. To unlock the stage, [[Kirby]] must get the [[Area Patch|Butterfly Patch]] from [[Fountain Gardens]]. As the name suggests, Flower Fields are full of flowers in both background and foreground elements. [[Bead]]s are often found arranged as though they were flowers. Interactive flower wheels which rotate when Kirby or [[Prince Fluff]] walk on them will sprout beads as the petals grow. Buttons will also be found centered behind background images of flower petals. [[Waddle Dee]]s and a [[Uniclod]] are the sole enemies in the first portion of this beginner area. Treasures for [[Kirby's Pad]] include the [[Furniture|Flower Clock and Frog Umbrella Stand]].

Upon clearing the stage for the first time, the [[Area Patch|Alarm Clock Patch]] is obtained. This unlocks the next stage, [[Rainbow Falls]]. Flower Fields is also the inspiration for [[Dedede Gogogo - Stage 2|Stage 2]] of [[Dedede Gogogo]] in ''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn''.

==Overview==
==Overview==
The middle sections of Flower Fields bear little resemblance to the beginning and end sections. The peaceful scenery changes to a rainy, bleaker background and a murky waterway dotted with large lily pads and [[Blipper]]s. Beads in the water are arranged to form the shape of fishes. The swimming portions in this area are the first instance in the game to require the [[Submarine]] transformation in order to progress. Other elements include large fabric frogs in the sky with Buttons on their tongue, which activates the [[Pendulum]] transformation and lowers the tongue in the upswings. The Frog Umbrella Stand and Flower Fields music are found hidden in this area. Portions of the wheel containing bonus stars for the [[Bonus Bell]] can also be found.

Flower Fields takes place in an grassy area surrounded by large, colourful flowers. In the opening section, Kirby jumps from one flower wheel to another, which rotate when he (or Prince Fluff in the Wii version's co-op mode) stand on them; some sprout beads as the petals grow.  [[Waddle Dee]]s and a [[Uniclod]] are the sole enemies in the first portion of the stage. Along the way, Kirby encounters dandelions with buttons attached to them. When latched onto, they activate the Pendulum transformation and fly upwards, eventually disappearing. With these, Kirby can swing to reach high-up platforms he needs to progress.

Eventually, the peaceful scenery gives way to a rainy, bleaker background, with a murky waterway dotted with large lily pads and [[Blipper]]s. Here, beads in the water are arranged to form the shape of fishes. The swimming portions in this area are the first instance in the game to require the [[Submarine]] transformation in order to progress. Along the way, Kirby encounters large fabric frogs in the sky with buttons on their tongue, which activates the [[Pendulum]] transformation and lowers the tongue in the upswings, used to access [[Treasure|treasures]] and beads.

Eventually, Kirby exits the rain, where he encounters more dandelions, requirig him to chain his jumps from one to another to reach a [[Bonus Star]].
 
===Metamortex stretch===
Soon after, Kirby climbs up a ladder and reaches a [[Metamortex]] patch. Here, the [[Saucer]] transformation is introduced for the first time. As Kirby navigates throgh the air, he must destroy [[Cloth Blocks]] blocking his path by charging the saucer to release its Thunder Spark power. As he progresses, several sets of beads arranged to appear as flowers appear in his path, as well as many [[Buttonfly|Buttonflies]] and [[Buttonbee]]s. After travelling downwards, a series of immobile [[Gordo]]s make collecting beads trickier.
 
Eventually, Kirby passes through the [[Reel Gate]], with the stage ending shortly afterwards.

| In the rainy section of the stage, Kirby needs to jump off the two adjacent frogs using the Pendulum to reach a fabric patch. This reveals a magic tab, which attaches itself to a nearby fountain. Kirby can then pull the tab to reveal the treasure.

==Metamortex stretch==
[[File:KEY Saucer Kirby.png|right|thumb|200px|Kirby in Saucer form with the capture beam activated in a pre-release version of Flower Fields]]
The [[Saucer]] [[Metamortex]] Transformation is also introduced in this area after Kirby encounters a Metamortex patch. In co-op play, Prince Fluff will become a second UFO; both having the same abilities. The Saucer is used until a [[Reel Gate]] is passed, unwinding the ability from the yarn characters. Several more beads arranged to appear as flowers appear in this final stretch of Flower Fields. [[Gordo]]s appear immobile and lined up along the ground. The difficulty of controlling the saucer form can cause collisions with the Gordos. [[Buttonfly|Buttonflies]] and [[Buttonbee]]s are plentiful just before the reel gate. Several [[Cloth Blocks]] need to be destroyed by charging the saucer to release its Thunder Spark power. Thunder Spark can only be activated when enough enemies have been pulled with the Capture Beam.
