'''Mario's castle'''<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=[[Wario]] trophy|title=''Super Smash Bros. Melee''|publisher=Nintendo|date=2001|quote=An old acquaintance of Mario's. His failure to seize Mario's castle has fueled Wario's desire for a palace of his own. Wario has Herculean strength and can do things even Mario can't imitate. His unexpected skills include a talent with items and the ability to assume many roles, among them a snowman, a zombie, and a bat.}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' English instruction booklet|page=4}}</ref> (or '''Mario Castle''')<ref>{{cite|date=December 1992|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 43|page=44 and 51|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> is a [[List of locations|location]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. It is a [[castle]] that had been stolen by [[Wario]], who then transformed it into a [[level]] and renamed it "'''[[Wario Castle]]'''."<ref>{{cite|date=December 1992|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 43|page=51|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref> If [[Mario]] defeats Wario, the spell is broken, the castle turns white instead of black, and its ''M'', turned upside down to resemble a ''W'', is moved back into its correct position.

In later games, such as ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', the [[Mario Bros.' House]] replaced the castle as Mario's place of residence in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', on the board [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]], if the player gets a three-[[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] Hotel after trading [[coin]]s with a [[Koopa Troopa]] at a Hotel, the Hotel looks like Mario's castle.

==Trivia==
*The theme song of the Mario's castle stage is similar to that of the [[Battlefield]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', while the player fights the [[Fighting Polygon Team]]. It is also similar to the [[P. 6-Finale]] song from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''.
*The final area where Mario battles Wario seems to be the only part of the castle that is unfazed by Wario's spell. Evidence that supports this is the noticeable ''M'' designs on the windows, brick walls that have [[Super Mushroom]]s and [[Carrot]]s on them, and a Mario statue in the part where the second phase of the final battle takes place.
