'''Castle Dash''' is an [[e-Reader]] level for ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It is the 21st level of [[World-e]]. This card was released in Series 2 in Japan. Its official difficulty rating is ★★★★★. It was initially released only in Japan due to the e-Reader being discontinued internationally, although the level eventually first became available overseas when the game was released on the [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]] in 2016. The level has five [[Advance Coin]]s, and the time starts at 60 seconds. The key art featured [[Morton|Morton Koopa Jr.]]

The level starts with seven [[Power Meter Block]]s, giving an extra boost to the [[P-Meter|Power Meter]]. There will be a series of eight [[Thwomp]]s trying to catch the player, each two positioned a block more down. Before the other four the next conveyor belt will be in reverse, making difficult the player to avoid Thwomps. Then, the player must perform a high jump to get to the next platform. There will be another conveyor belt in reverse, then the player performs a high jump and continue to run to avoid the pit that is next to. Right on, there will be another Thwomp and another conveyor belt pointing to right. There are [[Boo]]s and the first Advance Coin in mid-level.

The level starts with seven [[Boost Block (Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3)|Boost Block]]s moving the player automatically, giving an extra boost.

Before the other four the next conveyor belt will be in reverse, making difficult the player to avoid Thwomps. Then, the player must perform a high jump to get to the next platform.

===Area 2===
The second area starts with a few Boos and a few walls. The player must jump when in the conveyor belt to nab the second Advance Coin. After, there are few [[Triangular Block]]s, needed to get the third Advance Coin. After, there is a series of platforms where lies the fourth Advance Coin. The player has to get a perfect timing on the third platform to get the coin, due one tile gaps between platforms unallowing [[jump]]s.

The last area contains floating red [[Spike Trap|spike]]s (like the red ones in the [[Orange Mushroom House]] mini-game) which makes the player lose a life even if they are powered up, no enemies, few coins, and the last Advance Coin. The player has to do tricky jumps to avoid the spikes and get the last Advance Coin. Near the end there will be a lone [[Brick Block]] containing a [[1-Up Mushroom]], and Triangular Blocks. Now, the player has the remaining time to get out from the last area and getting the panel to exit the level.

==Trivia==
*Despite the level only being 60 seconds long, the "Hurry Up!" music does not play when the level begins, unlike later games in a level with a time limit of 100 seconds or less.
