| The '''Front Door''' is a [[level]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It can be accessed by the completion of [[7 Larry's Castle|#7 Larry's Castle]], or through the [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|Star Road]] connected from [[Star World 5]] and [[Valley of Bowser 4]]’s secret exit. It consists of [[Bowser's Castle]] in [[Dinosaur Land]]. This level and the [[Back 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]]. | | The '''Front Door''' is a level in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

It is [[Bowser's Castle]] in [[Dinosaur Land]]. Inside is a bright hallway with four [[Door]]s (numbered 1 to 4) for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to choose from; each door leads to a different area with enemies and obstacles that vary depending on which door was selected. |

| ===Boss battle===
| | The last four rooms lead to a dark room and a red block that activates a light at the top of the screen; this room is also seen at the beginning of [[Back Door]], with slight alterations. This area has [[Mecha Koopa]]s, and is also the only area in the game where the player can encounter [[Ninji]]s. The boss door is found at the end. |
| [[File:SMWMvsB.png|thumb|Screenshot of the final battle]]
| |
| Beyond the boss door is the roof of the castle, where Bowser is fought his [[Koopa Clown Car]]. If Mario or Luigi touches the propeller at the bottom of the Koopa Clown Car, he will take damage; otherwise, he will simply bounce off. In the first stage of the battle, Bowser will fly around the top of the screen, throwing Mechakoopas. The player must grab and throw these upward at Bowser - if they hit the Koopa Clown Car, they are destroyed. After taking two hits, Bowser will fly off-screen to drop many [[Fire Breath|Flames]] from the sky, before returning to fight. [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] will throw a [[Super Mushroom]] to her left. The player may choose whether to take it or not. In the second phase, Bowser will then try to hover above Mario or Luigi and drop [[metal ball|Big Steelies]] on them. After throwing two Big Steelies, he will throw two Mechakoopas. Again, the player must kick the Mechakoopas up toward Bowser and hit him twice. After another round of Flames (and another Super Mushroom), Bowser and the Koopa Clown Car will start bouncing on the ground, trying to crush Mario or Luigi. Eventually, more Mechakoopas are thrown and the player must again kick two into Bowser, defeating him.

| A message comes up as Peach kisses Mario (or Luigi): "Mario's (Luigi's) adventure is over. Mario (Luigi), Peach, Yoshi and friends are all going to take a vacation." Four groups of [[firework]]s appear, with the last one being heart-shaped. The screen then begins to show the credits (with [[Mario]] walking and Peach riding [[Yoshi]], as the seven [[Yoshi Egg]]s follow along) and the list of enemies from the game, complete with pictures and name tags. After the enemy gallery, a picture of Mario, Luigi and Peach with text reading “The End” will fade in. The screen will freeze on the image once the music finishes and the system will need to be turned off or reset, though the [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|remake]] adds a custom illustration, and the player can return to the Yoshi's Island world map upon pressing {{button|GBA|Start}}, alongside being able to save the game.

After throwing two Big Steelies, he will throw two Mecha-Koopas. Again, the player must kick the Mecha-Koopas up toward Bowser, and hit him twice. After another round of fireballs (and another Mushroom), Bowser and the Koopa Clown Car will start bouncing on the ground, trying to land on Mario. Eventually, more Mecha Koopas are thrown and the player must again kick one into Bowser, defeating him. |

| *The ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' television series episode "[[Send in the Clown]]" features what seems to be the Front Door, due to similar background designs and it featuring the same white and green lozenge curtains and a block that toggles light. However, the light block is the normal yellow color instead of red, and the spotlight is replaced with torch lamps. | | *If ''Super Mario World: 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. |
