| The level begins near a moving platform operated by gears, with a [[? Block]] above it. Platforms with [[Bony Beetle]]s on them are found, with more moving platforms located in between them. A [[Mega Dry Bones|Big Dry Bones]] and a [[Fire Bro]] are found. Above the Big Dry Bones are two ? Blocks. There is a [[Hidden Block]] between them that contains a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. A row of [[Donut Block]]s is found, along with multiple moving platforms that can crush the player when they move against each other. A Bony Beetle is found prior to another moving platforms and a [[Sledge Bro]]. A [[Checkpoint Flag]] is found next to a platform with a Bony Beetle and another ? Block. A section containing to platforms moving under low ceilings, with [[Amp]]s on either side a Sledge Bro and a [[Red Ring]] in the middle. A Big Dry Bones can then be found on a row of Donut Blocks. There is a yellow [[Warp Pipe]] on the ceiling that takes Mario to a room with a moving platform and a [[? Switch]] that produces coins. A platform with a Fire Bro follows. A large moving platform is then found, along with a Sledge Bro and two Amps. The boss door is found at the end of the area.
| | The castle's main obstacles are moving platforms operated by gears. There are many instances where the platforms can crush the player if unaware. The most prominent enemies are [[Dry Bones]], [[Sledge Bros.]], and [[Amps]], although there are less enemies than usual. |

| Ludwig von Koopa is the boss of the castle, with his boss arena taking place on the crow's nest, like [[Roy Koopa|Roy's]] boss arena. In battle he levitates in the air while making two duplicates of himself, and all three blast fireballs at Mario before dropping onto the ground. If the duplicate is jumped on, it simply disappears. [[Fireball]]s do not affect them. One way to find out which Ludwig is the real one is to see which one lands last, and then jump on that one. Also, the duplicates only fire two fireballs at a time each, while Ludwig fires three. When the fight starts off, after shooting their fireballs, they disappear before landing. After the first stomp, the duplicates do not disappear, making it a little harder on which is the real Ludwig. After the second stomp, not only do Ludwig and his duplicates shoot faster, they also swap positions. After the third stomp, Ludwig is defeated.

| Additionally, during the boss battle, the tornado and a silhouette of [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]] and Bowser's airship flying around it can be seen.
