Very little is known about the origin or purpose of the Fortress, as little history is given in [[Tattle]]s and other sources. According to Goombario, Koopa Bros. Fortress was first erected by an unknown group around the same time that Bob-ombs began inhabiting Pleasant Path (which was said earlier in ''Paper Mario'' to have been not long before the game's setting), and that the Bob-ombs soon took over the fortress from its creators and became its caretakers. The fortress was in ruins, suggested to be a consequence of frequent Bob-omb detonations by Goombario, and was restored to a functioning state by the Koopa Bros.

|A red [[Bob-omb]] imprisoned by the Koopa Bros. He will be absent after the Koopa Bros. are defeated.

* "''All of us Bob-ombs got locked in here by the Koopa Bros. Nothing we could do about it. The Koopa Bros. used to be cool, but they got conceited because Kammy Koopa likes them. Before, they were just typical young guys from Koopa Village. They were nice enough. I think maybe the desire for adventure corrupted them.''"

* "''That Bob-omb's been jailed. I wonder what he did to the Koopa Bros.? I thought that Bob-ombs and Koopa Bros. worked together in harmony...''"

|A blue Bob-omb imprisoned by the Koopa Bros. He will be absent after the Koopa Bros. are defeated.

* "''I'm sorry, I simply will not obey tyrants anymore! Those Koopa Bros. can't squash the pride of a Bob-omb! So... I'm using all my energy thinking of a way to break out of here. Hmmmm... The angles...vectors... ooooooog... It's so complicated... My head's going to explode!''"

* "''All that thinking, and I never thought of blasting the wall. You're pretty darned smart!''"

* "''That Bob-omb's been jailed. Do the Koopa Bros. have short tempers, you think? If we had a Bob-omb on our side during battle, it would really catch the Koopa Bros. off guard.''"

* "''Those stinking Koopa Bros. worked us way too hard. They were making us work for 25 hours a day! Unreal! Nobody's life should be all work, right? I need free time to make my mark in the world. BOOM!''"

*"''If we continue along the pass, we should reach Koopa Bros. Fortress. Many [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s and [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]s live around here. If they're loyal to [[Bowser]], they'll definitely attack us.''"

*"''Just east of here, we can see Koopa Bros. Fortress. Actually, we're probably already on fortress grounds. That arch certainly looks like part of it. And there are lots of bad guys, too.''"

*"''Here's Koopa Bros. Fortress. This used to be ruined, but I guess the Koopa Bros. rebuilt it. It looks pretty huge, huh? And solid, too. This fortress was originally built around the same time the Bob-ombs took up residence on [[Pleasant Path]].''"

*"''It's pretty chilly inside this fortress, isn't it? It must because there's so much water inside.''"

*"''This fortress stays cool all the time because it's built entirely of stone.''"

*"''This seems to be the central area of the fortress. This area looks extremely suspicious to me. I wonder what all those gates guard, don't you, Mario?''"

*"''I heard there are many tricky parts of this castle. I wonder who built it. It's pretty curious looking.''"

*"''It looks like they turned this large chamber into a prison cell.''"

*"''It seems strange to keep so much water in the building. Do you think it's here to keep Bob-ombs from burning the place down? Or maybe it's just for Koopas to bathe in. I mean, it's nice that it keeps the place so cool, but I'm still suspicious... Mario... Let's keep moving, huh?''"

*"''These fire bars are a menace! They're hot to the touch. They'll hurt you if you touch 'em. Somebody said there's a way to destroy 'em. How do you think we do that?''"

*"''This place is pretty huge. Before the Koopa Bros. came here, this place used to be filled with Bob-ombs. I don't think the Bob-ombs built it, but they became its caretakers. Of course, they explode all the time, so you can see why there are so many cracked walls.''"

*"''Boy, the air is refreshing up here, huh? And look at the view! Isn't that Pleasant Path way down there?''"

*"''This is the room where we fought the Koopa Bros. Those guys weren't so tough! They certainly weren't a match for us, huh, Mario?''"

==In-game map descriptions==

*''This is the fortress where the [[Koopa Bros.]] are holing up.''

;After Chapter 1

*''[[Eldstar|One of the]] [[Star Spirits]] was held here by the Koopa Bros. This fortress was originally the home of the [[Bob-omb]]s.''
