| | The '''World-e Castle''' is an area found only in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and not in previous versions of the game. The castle is of unknown origin, although it appears to have been built at the same time as the rest of [[World-e]]. |

| 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). | |

| ==Notes==
| | The castle's main purpose appears to be as a museum for the [[e-Coin]]s that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] may find in certain [[Super Mario Advance 4 e-Cards|levels]] scanned through an [[e-Reader]], with eight spaces on 1F. Once a card containing an e-Coin is scanned, its frame will have an indention and the level number in the white space below. |
| *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==
| | While only eight e-Coins were ever released (filling 1F), a total of 24 appear to have been planned – the game has sprites and data for two more floors to be accessed once cards containing a 9th/17th e-Coin are scanned, with the [[player]] switching floors using L and R. |
