Editing Nimbus Castle

[[File:SMRPG Nimbus Castle.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'']]
'''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]].

Once Valentina has been run off, the castle returns to the control of the [[Nimbus]] royalty, it is reopened to the public, all the monsters are removed, the Valentina statues are replaced with King Nimbus statues, and Shelly's room now has statues of all of Mario's group.

*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. 
*Back into the grand hallway with the three doorways, Mario should enter the one on the left and continue until he finds a set of stairs in the second room. Just near the entrance to a room with a Save Block, Mario should jump against the wall to reveal the Hidden Treasure.
*In the same area, at the bottom of the stairs, Mario should walk along the boundary of the hallway until he eventually walks on an invisible path. Mario should jump at the end of this invisible path to reveal another Hidden Treasure.
