The '''Castle Gardens''' is the first playable section of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is a large plaza lined with various buildings, lamposts with star-shaped lights and a fountain. The area is also decorated with blue flags depicting stars, which are hung from lampposts, and multicolor banners featuring pictures of [[Mushroom]]s, strung from the top of buildings to lampposts to treetops.  At the site of the [[Star Festival]], it is located directly outside [[Princess Peach's Castle]].

At the beginning of the game in Castle Gardens, [[Mario]] can collect some of the [[Star Bit]]s. Shortly, the Castle Gardens are attacked by [[Bowser]] and his [[Airship]] fleet, causing some Toads to flee and others to be trapped in [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s. Mario goes to the castle to rescue [[Princess Peach]], but she is abducted by Bowser and Mario is blasted by [[Kamek]] to the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. Following this, the Castle Gardens are inaccessible for the remainder of the main storyline.

After the world has been reformed, however, Mario, Bowser and Princess Peach, along with various other characters encountered during the game, awake in the Castle Gardens. The final level, the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], which is unlocked by collecting all 120 [[Power Star]]s as both Mario and [[Luigi]], takes place in the Castle Gardens. In the level, Mario or Luigi can collect the 100 [[Purple Coin]]s to make the final Power Star appear.
