'''#4 Ludwig's Castle''' is the final [[level]] of the [[Twin Bridges]] in ''[[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]]. This level consists of a narrow maze-like corridor, a large room with a [[Spike Trap|spike]]-lined ceiling,<ref>{{cite|date=Winter 2002|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' Volume 4|page=49}}</ref> a tall chamber containing many [[Chain-Link|fence]]s with [[Climbing Koopa]]s, and a boss fight with [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]] at the very top of the [[castle]].

The first room has several [[Bony Beetle]]s and [[Spinner|Ball 'N' Chain]]s. [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) must carefully avoid those to get to the next door. There is a [[Super 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 [[jump]]ed through, and the player must jump up a series of ledges to reach a [[Warp Pipe]], which leads to a [[1-Up Chamber]]. In the next room, Mario has to deal with a spike-lined ceiling, which 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 [[dash|run]] towards the door on the left while avoiding the [[Lava Bubble]]s to avoid getting crushed, since the spike-lined ceiling eventually descends again after it reaches all the way to the top. In the third room, there are fences with many Climbing Koopas, as well as more spikes. Behind the red boss door is [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]], whom Mario can defeat with either [[fireball]]s or three [[stomp]]s on the head.

After Mario reaches Ludwig's room, Ludwig spits out up to four fireballs. Jumping on him makes him spin in his shell across the floor. After he stops, Ludwig leaps towards Mario. Jumping on him two more times sends him flying into the air, where he explodes. Afterwards, a cutscene plays, where Mario retrieves the imprisoned [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] (which is trapped in an [[Yoshi's 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.
