According to stories told by [[Grifty]], Hooktail Castle was built long ago in order to harbor one of the [[Crystal Stars]] | 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 [[Magical Map]] states the castle was built to "accommodate Hooktail's bulk". | ||
It is presumable that Hooktail Castle was once inhabited by beings other than Hooktail quite some time ago, as the castle features some devices including the [[wikipedia:Rack (torture)|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. | |||

In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Mario and his partners can enter Hooktail Castle via a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] that leads them into the background of the castle. The pipe is accessible after placing the [[Sun Stone|Sun]] and [[Moon Stone|Moon]] Stones from [[Shhwonk Fortress]] in some slots located in [[Petal Meadows]]. 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. | |||
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 | 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. | ||
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. | In the next few rooms, there are more [[Dull Bones]] and a [[Shine Sprite]] in their path.

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. | 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.

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]]. | 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.

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]]. | Once Hooktail is defeated, [[Koopook]] will post a trouble at the [[Trouble Center]] asking participants to find him in Hooktail Castle.
