The '''World-e Castle''' is an area found only in [[World-e]] of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4]]''. The castle is of unknown origin, as it does not contain any occupants nor does it appear to have fallen into disarray.
The '''e-Coin Castle'''<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J.|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=113|date=October 21, 2003|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-4425-9}}</ref> is a [[List of locations|location]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Appearing in [[World-e]], the [[castle]] is of unknown origin and does not contain any visible occupants. It has frames on the wall, which are empty at first. As [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Reader cards|levels]] are scanned through an [[e-Reader]], each one containing an [[e-Coin]] has the coin's frame indented and its level number in the plaque below (the game's [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]] and [[Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online]] releases have the frames and plaques marked from the outset since the e-Reader levels are built in). As such, the castle appears to be a sort of museum or trophy gallery. The castle has three floors of eight frames each, with the second and third floors (2F and 3F) opening to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] once the player scans a level containing a 9th and 17th e-Coin. The player can then teleport between floors by pressing {{button|gba|L}} and {{button|gba|R}}. However, this functionality goes unused because only eight e-Coin levels ([[Super Leaf]], [[Super Star|Starman]], [[Toad]], Mario, [[Princess Peach]], Luigi, [[Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]]) were ever released, allowing for the completion of 1F. Prior to the Virtual Console and Switch Online releases, due to the full spread of e-Reader levels not being released outside Japan, American and Australian players were able to collect only three e-Coins (Super Leaf, Starman, Mushroom).


==Trivia==
When [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] first visit the castle, the frames on the wall are empty. As [[Super Mario Advance 4 e-Cards|levels]] are scanned through an [[e-Reader]], those containing an [[e-Coin]] will have its frame indented and its level number in the white space below. As such, the castle appears to be a sort of "museum" or trophy gallery.
*The music played in the castle is very similar to the theme "[[Super Mario RPG Original Sound Version|Hello, Happy Kingdom]]," which is the theme of [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.


==References==
The castle has three floors of eight frames each, with the second and third floors (2F and 3F) opening to Mario and Luigi once the [[player]] scans a level containing a ninth and 17th e-Coin. The player can teleport between floors by pressing L and R.

But despite the game containing the code and sprites to allow this, the e-Reader's failure saw only the completion of 1F ([[Super Leaf]], [[Starman]], [[Toad]], [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Luigi]], [[Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]]), with American players only able to collect three e-Coins (Super Leaf, Starman, Mushroom).

It is unknown if there was to be any reward for filling all of the castle's 24 frames.
 
== Trivia ==
*The World -e castle music has a few notes from the Mushroom Kingdom's music in the game [[Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars]]
