'''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. 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. | '''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.

The in-game map description reads, "''A massive castle built to accommodate Hooktail's bulk. It's full of lethal traps.''" | The in-game map description reads, "''A massive castle built to accommodate Hooktail's bulk. It's full of lethal traps.''" | ||

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)| | 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.

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]]. | ||
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. | |||

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. | 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]].

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.
