{{quote|Oh, man… Hooktail Castle… The stories were all true… This place is TERRIFYING…|Koops|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
'''Hooktail Castle''' is a location that is found during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' in Chapter 1. Although not explicitly stated, it is the first major dungeon in the game, as it takes place in a closed location. Like [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', it features many traps and enemies, a boss at the top of the castle, four keys to unlock four doors, and a quest reward at the end. It is the castle where [[Hooktail]], the dragon who is terrorizing [[Petalburg]], is fought and resides. [[Mario]], and his [[partners]] — [[Goombella]] and [[Koops]] — travel here to defeat Hooktail and collect the [[Diamond Star]]. The castle is full of many traps and enemies that Mario and his partners must avoid and defeat. The enormous rooms in the castle provide a resting place for some of the Koopas that have fallen victim to Hooktail's ways — however, not all of the skeletons found throughout the castle remain in an eternal rest.

===Background===
According to stories told by [[Grifty]], Hooktail Castle was built long ago in order to harbor one of the [[Crystal Stars]], which had been scattered throughout the land to exert the [[Shadow Queen]]'s power. Since the castle was built to "accommodate Hooktail's bulk", it is likely that Hooktail, being one of the Shadow Queen's pets, was tasked with guarding the Crystal Star by her master and given Hooktail Castle to live in while doing so. Alongside containing traps to prevent potential thieves from reaching Hooktail and the Crystal Star at the top of the castle, the castle contains torture devices such as the [[wikipedia:Rack (torture)|Rack]], a [[wikipedia:Flail (weapon)|flail]], and a ball-and-chain. There are also many prison cells in the castle. As such, it is possible that Hooktail Castle was additionally utilized to imprison and torture enemies of the Shadow Queen, not dissimilar to her [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].
Though not much is known about the entire history of Hooktail Castle, some backstory was revealed throughout ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' in stories and rumors talked about amongst the many creatures Mario meets along his travels. According to some stories told by [[Grifty]], Hooktail Castle was built long ago in order to harbor one of the [[Crystal Stars]]. Despite Hooktail Castle being created to contain one of the Crystal Stars — which were scattered across the world in order to keep the [[Shadow Queen]] at rest — Hooktail was the guardian of the castle as well as one of the Shadow Queen's pets. It is unknown if the castle was originally created vacant, and then later taken over by Hooktail by purely coincidental means, if it was taken over by Hooktail purposely to guard the Crystal Star in hopes of somehow helping the long-dormant Shadow Queen, or if Hooktail was specifically put into the castle to guard the Crystal Star, although this seems the most likely as the Map states the castle was built to "accommodate Hooktail's bulk".  


At some point, [[Kolorado's father]] decided to travel to Hooktail Castle to defeat the dragon, but only made it to the second room past the front door before dying. 10 years prior to the events of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', [[Koopley]] would aim to do the same. While he was much more successful in his quest compared to Kolorado's father, managing to make it all the way to Hooktail, he ultimately lost the battle with her and was eaten.
It is presumable that Hooktail Castle was once inhabited by beings other than Hooktail quite some time ago, as the castle features some torture devices including the [[wikipedia:Rack (torture device)|Rack]], a [[wikipedia:Flail (weapon)|flail]], and a ball-and-chain. Many of the rooms are filled with the corpses of Koopas, but it is unknown as to how long they were there. There were also some prison cells found in the castle, similar to those found in castles from fourteenth-century Spain and Scotland; one of these prison cells has the skeletal remains of a Koopa residing behind it.

When Mario and Goombella first arrive in [[Petal Meadows]], they see Hooktail flying to Hooktail Castle, as well as a stone structure that looks like a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]. The pipe, which leads into the background of the castle, is accessible after placing the [[Sun Stone|Sun]] and [[Moon Stone|Moon]] Stones from [[Shhwonk Fortress]] into the nearby pedestals. At the start, there is a [[Recovery Block]] and a [[spring]] which leads to a [[plane panel]], allowing Mario to fly across the ensuing moat in [[Plane Mode]]. A garden with a broken bridge appears under the plane panel. This garden hovers above a moat, and at the end of it, Mario can collect an [[HP Plus (badge)|HP Plus]] badge when using Koops. After soaring across the moat, Mario reaches a set of purple doors that lead to the center of the castle.

[[File:Introduction Of Hooktail Castle.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Hooktail Castle introduction]]
Mario and his partners can enter Hooktail Castle via a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] that leads them into the background where the castle is structured, unless they placed the [[Sun Stone|Sun]] and [[Moon Stone|Moon]] Stones (from [[Shhwonk Fortress]]) in the proper slots in the first part of [[Petal Meadows]]. Upon first entering the castle, they find a [[Recovery Block]] and a [[spring]] that leads them to a [[Plane Mode|plane panel]]. Below the plane panel is a garden with a broken bridge that hovers above a moat — at the end of this moat, they can also collect an [[HP Plus (badge)|HP Plus]] badge (when using Koops). As they soar across the moat, they reach a tall set of purple doors that lead them into the heart of the castle.
 
[[File:Koops_and_Kolorado%27s_Father.png|thumb|left|[[Kolorado's father]]]]
Immediately after entering this part of the castle, they encounter many [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s that are ready to attack. They can also find the [[Power Bounce]] badge within a red [[Question Block|? Block]] here. In the next room, they find many skeletons of Koopas that fell victim to Hooktail along their travels, including the remains of [[Kolorado's father]] (which Koops mistakes for his). His skeleton is found clutching a note addressed to his son, [[Kolorado]], as a warning about Hooktail and her weaknesses. The note contains his last words, as he wrote it while dying. In this note, Mario and his partners discover that finding something that begins with a 'cr' and ends with an 'icket' will help them defeat Hooktail.


Inside the area, there are many [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s and a [[Power Bounce]] badge within a red [[? Block|? block]]. In the next room, there are skeletons of Koopas and the skeleton of Kolorado's father, which clutches a note addressed to [[Kolorado]] containing a warning about Hooktail and her weaknesses and his last words. At the far end of the room, there is a [[Red Bones]] that guards the doorway to the next room. When it is awakened, the room becomes flooded with [[Dull Bones]], and Mario and his partner are pushed away from the door, though the Red Bones battles Mario if it is hit by a [[hammer]]. After defeating the Red Bones, Mario can gain access to the next room.
[[File:RedBones Fight PMTTYD.jpg|thumb|right|Mid-boss battle]]
At the far end of the room, they find a [[Red Bones]] guarding the doorway to the next room. Once they awaken it, the room quickly becomes flooded with countless [[Dull Bones]], which push Mario and his partner away from the door. After Mario uses his [[hammer]] to whack his way to the Red Bones, they engage in battle. Mario eventually wins, gaining access to the next room.


In the next few rooms, there are more [[Dull Bones]] and a [[Shine Sprite]] in their path. A red [[Castle Key (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Castle Key]] is needed to unlock a locked door after passing through the rooms. It is on a high platform that can be accessible from [[Lift Switch]]es that cause arrow-imprinted blocks to go up and down. Mario can use Koops' Shell Toss ability to hit the switches while he jumps up blocks. The purple block leads to a square-shaped hole in a wall with a Star Piece on a ledge. By [[jump]]ing on two [[Stone Block]]s, Mario can reach a big black and yellow block that leads to a wall ledge and a Star Piece. With the black and yellow block up, Mario can use Koops to hit a red [[! Switch]] to flip a nearby staircase to the other side, allowing Mario to grab the key via Koops' shell. After this, Mario and his partner can reach a Save Block and a large green block that goes up.
[[File:HooktailPuzzle 1 PMTTYD.jpg|thumb|left|The ! Switch and various blocks]]
Through the next few rooms, Mario and his partners encounter many more [[Dull Bones]], collect the first [[Shine Sprite]] in their path and reach the first locked castle door. The red [[Castle Key (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Castle Key]] is on a high platform that can be accessible from the yellow and purple switches which make the arrow-imprinted blocks go up and down. Mario can use Koops' Shell Toss ability to hit the switches while he jumps up the stairs. If Mario jumps on the purple block, it will take him to the square-shaped hole in the wall with the Star Piece on a ledge. Mario can jump on two [[Stone Block]]s to reach the big black/yellow block that can take Mario to a wall ledge to jump across and reach a Star Piece. With the black and yellow block up, Mario can use Koops to hit a red [[! Switch]] to flip the staircase to the other side and use Koops' shell to grab the key and unlock the door to the next room. They reach the fourth room with a Save Block and a large green block that goes up.


After some travel, they reach a room with a few Dull Bones and a [[Paragoomba]] and a cell, which can be raised by pressing a red ! Switch. The cell leads to a room with a [[black chest]]. After collecting the [[Black Key]] in a chest at the room to the right, spikes pop out of the ground of the room forming a maze. The ceiling is also covered in spikes and lowers towards the ground, which will [[Game Over|crush Mario and his partner]] if they do not escape within 50 seconds. After unlocking the chest, the being inside the chest curses Mario, allowing him to turn paper-thin and squeeze into narrow spaces. He can then reach the [[Attack FX R]] badge ([[Attack FX G]] in the remake) in the prison cell to the left.
After some travel, they eventually reach a room with a few Dull Bones and a [[Paragoomba]]. The player can use Koops to raise the cell by pressing a red ! switch. The cell leads them to another room with a [[Black Chest Demon|mysterious black chest]], which is identical to the [[Rogueport Sewers|previous one]]. They quickly move to the room in the right and collect the [[Black Key]] in a chest. As they attempt to make their way out of the room, spikes pop out of the ground forming a maze. To Mario and his partners' dismay, the ceiling is also covered in sharp spikes and is lowering quickly towards the ground, which will [[Game Over|crush the heroes]] if they do not escape within 50 seconds. The protagonists escape the treacherous room and insert the black key into the chest. The demon that resides in the chest then curses Mario - from then on, he can turn paper thin and squeeze into even the narrowest of spaces by pressing and holding {{button|GCN|R}}. Mario and his partners makes their way back, collecting a red badge called [[Attack FX R]] in the left prison cell. This badge is the secret weakness of Hooktail mentioned by Kolorado's father and Ms. Mowz.


After reaching the second level of the castle by a big green block in the fourth room of the previous area, there is another locked door. The second key is located in a cell room with Kolorado's dead father in it and requires [[Paper Mode]]. After unlocking the door, there is a [[Recovery Block]]. There is also a switch that causes a bridge to appear. Mario can use Koops to hit the second switch and create another bridge, and they can use a window that does not have any bars on it to pass through the third gap, which is low enough to jump through, and a Star Piece can be found behind the windows at the start. Mario can also jump through the other window and enter the west door. Later, there is a room with many Dull Bones and another large green block on the ground. Mario can use Koops again and reach the third level. A [[Life Mushroom (Paper Mario series)|Life Mushroom]] can be seen on a ledge on the left wall and it can be collected if Mario drops down from the third level in front or behind the bars.  
[[File:HooktailPuzzle 2 PMTTYD.jpg|thumb|Koops being shot at a switch]]
As Mario and his two partners progress farther and farther up the castle, they elevate themselves up to the second level by the big green block in the fourth room. They can find the second locked door; the second key is in the cell room with Kolorado's dead father behind bars and requires [[Paper Mode]]. The trio arrive up to the third room's second level with a [[Recovery Block]]. There is a switch that makes the first bridge appear so that they can cross over a gap. Mario can use Koops to hit the second switch and create another bridge, then head to the third gap with no switch. This time, they can use the window that does not have any bars on it, which is low enough to jump through, and a Star Piece can be found behind the windows at the start. He can jump through the other window and enter the west door. They enter a room with many Dull Bones and another large green block on the ground. Mario can use Koops again and elevate up to the third level. A [[Life Shroom]] can be seen on a ledge on the left wall and can be collected if Mario drops down from the third level in front or behind the bars.  


[[File:Mario in the Castle.png|thumb|Mario leveling up in a battle in Hooktail Castle]]
[[File:Ms. Mowz Introduction.jpg|thumb|left|Encountering Ms. Mowz]]  
After meeting a mysterious thief named [[Ms. Mowz]] that came to the castle to steal rare badges in the treasure room, she leaves out the window after chatting with Mario and giving him a kiss. In this room, there is a Mushroom, a [[Honey Syrup]], and a key in the chests. After unlocking a door, Mario progresses further up the castle. Mario and his partner can then enter a room with Dull Bones at the bottom, a plane panel at the top, and big black and yellow block that allows Mario to elevate up to the two ceiling ledges. On the ceiling, Mario can obtain a Star Piece at the east end. To obtain a key, Mario can hit a yellow block to move the large black and yellow block downward, then Koops can be shot at the key. If Mario goes down a gap in the room, he can obtain the [[Last Stand P]] badge.  
Mario and his partners eventually enter a treasure room (that was guarded by a Dull Bones) and encounter a mysterious thief named [[Ms. Mowz]], who had come to the castle to steal rare badges, but leaves out the window after chatting with Mario and giving him a kiss. In that same room, Mario and his partners found a Mushroom, a [[Honey Syrup]], and the third key in all three of the four chests. They unlock the door in the green elevated block room and progress further up the castle. They then enter room with a few Dull Bones at the bottom and a plane panel at the top. Mario can use the big black and yellow block to elevate up to the two ceiling ledges. While on the ceiling, Mario can obtained the last Star Piece at the east end. Mario can glide his way down to the door's ledge. Mario and his partners come down the steps a little to collect the last red key. To obtain the last key, Mario can hit the yellow block to remove the large black and yellow block downward, then Koops can be shot at the key. If Mario goes down the gap, he can obtain the [[Last Stand P]] badge. Mario can open the last (big) locked door and collect the last Shine Sprite.


After unlocking a locked door and collecting a Shine Sprite, Mario must go up two flights of stairs and travel across the outside ledge of another room. Mario and his partner then reach a long bridge with Koopas that leads up to a tower with a [[Spiked Goomba|Spiky Goomba]] on duty. At the top of this tower, there is a [[Save Block]], [[Recovery Block]], and an enormous pair of purple doors. Through these doors, Mario and his partners encounter Hooktail, and after she is defeated, Koopley is spat out of her, and he gives Mario the [[Diamond Star]].
[[File:PMTTYD Hooktail Artwork.png|thumb|220px|Hooktail, the guardian of the castle.]]
After going up two flights of stairs and traveling across the outside ledge of another room, Mario and his partners eventually reach a long bridge high in the air. This bridge is infested with Koopas and lead up to an extremely high tower with a [[Spiky Goomba]] on duty. At the top of this tower, Mario and his partners encountered a [[Save Block]], [[Recovery Block]], and an enormous pair of purple doors that led into a large circular dormitory. Through these doors, Mario and his partners encounter Hooktail. After a long battle, the dragon is defeated. The gang celebrated and continued to find the Crystal Star. Suddenly, the red dragon regurgitates a blue shell out of her stomach. The blue shell reveals to be [[Koopley]], [[Koops]]'s long lost father. Koopley gives Mario the [[Diamond Star]], something he had found in Hooktail's belly and had kept as a souvenir.


Once Hooktail is defeated, [[Koopook]] will post a trouble at the [[Trouble Center]] asking participants to find him in Hooktail Castle. If Mario locates him on the ledge near the green elevator block, he will reward Mario with the [[Special Card]]. Once Chapter 4 is cleared, Ms. Mowz will anonymously post a trouble to find an [[Attack FX B (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|elusive badge]]; doing so has Ms. Mowz join Mario as a partner. After [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 5: The Key to Pirates|Chapter 5]], [[Merlon]] will tell Mario and his partners about a fortune he had received, which told of a room hidden in Hooktail Castle. If Mario and his partners return to the room with the spikes and blast a large crack in the right wall with [[Bobbery]], they can find an [[Up Arrow]].

After [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 5: The Key to Pirates|Chapter 5]], [[Merlon]] will be awaiting for Mario outside his shop in [[Rogueport]]. He tells Mario and his partners of a fortune he had received; this fortune told of a room hidden in Hooktail Castle. If Mario and his partners return to the room with the spikes and head to the right wall of the room, they will discover a large crack in the wall that [[Admiral Bobbery]] can blast through. In the secret room, they discover the [[Up Arrow]], an item that helps Merlon power up Mario's partners to Ultra Rank.
