'''#4 Ludwig's Castle''' is the final level in the [[Twin Bridges]] area of ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It can be accessed by completing [[Cookie Mountain]] or [[Butter Bridge 2]]. By completing this level, the player gains access to [[Forest of Illusion 1]]. It consists of a maze-like narrow corridor, a large room with a descending spiked ceiling, and a tall chamber containing many [[Chain-Link|fence]]s with [[Climbing Koopa]]s, and a boss fight with [[Ludwig von Koopa]] at the very top of the castle.

==Overview==

[[File:SMW LudwigBattle.png|left|thumb|Battle against Ludwig]]

The first room has several [[Bony Beetle]]s and [[Spinner|Ball 'N' Chain]]s. Mario must carefully avoid those to get to the next door. There is a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] just after the door. Also, there is a secret path that Mario can take. The square block just in front of the door can be jumped through, and the player must jump up a series of ledges to reach a warp pipe, which leads to a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-Up]] bonus game. In the next room, he has to deal with a spiked roof that slowly descends to the floor. Mario must hit the ON/OFF switch from ON to OFF in the middle of the room to make it go back up, and run towards the door on the left while avoiding the [[Lava Bubble]]s to avoid getting crushed, which the spiked roof will eventually descend again after it reaches all the way to the top. In the third room, there are fences with many [[Climbing Koopa]]s, as well as more spikes. Behind the red boss door is [[Ludwig von Koopa]], whom Mario can either defeat with [[fireball]]s or three [[stomp]]s on the head.

After [[Mario]] defeats Ludwig, he retrieves the imprisoned [[Yoshi]] (which is trapped in an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]), and attempts to blow up the castle. However, the detonation causes the castle to rocket into the air, and it crashes into the nearby hill. The hill gets a bandage after that.
