The '''Back Door''' is a [[level]] in the [[Valley of Bowser]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It is similar to the [[Front Door]] of [[Bowser's Castle]] but skips over the majority of the level, starting at the "[[dark]]" room. The eight doors are skipped entirely, making Bowser's Castle much easier. The only difference in the "dark room" from the Front Door path is a [[Midway Gate]] just before the fight to [[Bowser]]. The battle with Bowser is unchanged, as is the credits and ending scenes. This level and the Front Door are both counted as the same exit, and as such, the player is only required to complete one of them to achieve 100% [[completion]].

It can be accessed through a secret path in the Valley of Bowser, specifically after the completion of the level [[Valley Fortress]].

A reference to this level was made in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. By taking a secret exit from the [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7]] tower and finishing the secret level, it is possible to go through a secret entry to the World 7 castle, skipping almost the whole level, except for the final [[Sledge Bro]] and the door to [[Ludwig von Koopa]]. A similar reference is made in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' (and as such, ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''), where the player can take a shortcut (and the final Star Coin) in [[Roy's Conveyor Castle]]/[[Roy's Ironclad Castle]] by using red [[Switch Block]]s to get behind the castle.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The game's bright palette in the remake makes it so that the red ? block light is not required for the last part of the level, especially on devices with a bright backlit screen.
*If ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|Super Mario Advance 2]]'' is played on a backlit Nintendo handheld (such as a [[Game Boy Advance SP]] or [[Nintendo DS Lite]]), the background in the dark section of the level will be so bright that the red ? block light is actually not needed to complete the level. This is because those systems are backlit and this game was intended to be played on a non-backlit Game Boy Advance.
*In ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'', even after the player defeats Bowser, it is impossible to leave the Back Door without quitting the game or losing a life.
