'''Nimbus Castle'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1996|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=82|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> is the home of [[King Nimbus]], [[Queen Nimbus]], and their many pet birds in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]]. Normally, it is open to the public, but when first visited during the game, it has been occupied by the vain former advisor [[Valentina]] who is enacting a plan to gain control of [[Nimbus Land]]. To that end, she has closed it off and replaced the guards with her hired monsters. In order to get inside, [[Mario]] is disguised by the sculptor [[Garro]] among many statues Valentina ordered of herself. After getting inside, Mario first needs to avoid or fight [[Dodo]].

The castle has a confusing layout, and some of the statues are not of Valentina, but of [[Birdy|Birdies]], which reveal themselves to actually be real ones in disguise — like Mario — and attack if approached. Many [[Pinwheel (Super Mario RPG)|Pinwheel]]s also appear to blow him around, though they also serve as a distraction for the [[Sling Shy|Sling Shies]]. Certain doors are guarded by a [[Jawful]] or [[Big Troopa]], marking one of the few times in the game where "big" enemies appear on the overworld.

The former staff can be found in a guarded room. Speaking to a former guard gets the [[Castle Key 1]], which can be used to open a door to where [[Beezo]] is watering a giant egg called [[Shelly]]. After Beezo fails to escape due to the next door also being locked, Shelly asks Mario and company to "play" with it; during the ensuing battle, it hatches into [[Birdo]]. Upon defeat, Birdo gives the [[Castle Key 2]] and returns to being inside Shelly, while Mario and the party find that Valentina is holding a supposedly bedridden King Nimbus locked in a small room. Shy Away informs Valentina of Mario's approach, and she, Beezo, and Dodo flee. In the hallways after, there are several patrolling [[Bluebird]]s, along with a fleeing Dodo, though there is also a [[Super Star|Starman]] with which to instantly defeat many of them. Continuing causes Mario to fall from a door in the side of the castle, falling through the topmost section of the [[Beanstalk (Super Mario RPG)|Beanstalk]].

Note: All enemies disappear after Valentina is defeated.

*This Hidden Treasure is only available after defeating [[Valentina]]. Inside the castle, in the grand hallway with the three doorways, Mario should find a bird in a cage near the northwestern corner of the room. Jumping at the corner reveals the Hidden Treasure.

*In the same area, Mario should enter the middle doorway to the next room, and -- after defeating [[Birdo]] -- proceed to the next area and jump on the visible treasure box. Jumping from it reveals the Hidden Treasure.
