'''Peach's Castle''' (alternatively '''Peach's castle'''), also known as '''Princess Peach's Castle''' (alternatively '''Princess Peach's castle''') or the '''Mushroom Castle''',<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=118|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario 64'' instruction booklet|page=4|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario 64 DS'' instruction booklet|page=4|date=2004|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> is the [[castle]] situated within the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and its most prominent landmark. It is home to [[Princess Peach]] as well as many [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, including [[Toad]] and [[Toadsworth]]. The rooms inside the castle vary from game to game, as does the castle's location. The castle's general appearance was codified in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', where it is characterized by a tall tower supported by four towers along the outside walls. It is usually surrounded by a moat and located in a hilly grassland. Some games also have a town of varying size in its proximity, which is often named [[Toad Town]].

On ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', the castle is mentioned in the episode "[[Pirates of Koopa]]," in which Mario states that he, Luigi, Toad, and Peach were going there in his [[List of implied items#Plumber's Log|Plumber's Log]].

[[File:PeachsCastleSMB3.png|thumb|Princess Toadstool's castle as seen on ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'']]

On ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the castle appears in the episodes "[[Reign Storm]]"; "[[Kootie Pie Rocks]]"; "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]"; and "[[Recycled Koopa]]."

[[File:Smrpgpeachcastle.png|thumb|left|The Mushroom Castle from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.'']]

''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' is the first game in which the Mushroom Castle appears, though with a radically different design, since it predates the traditional design introduced in ''Super Mario 64''. It is home to [[Princess Peach]], the [[Chancellor]], [[Granny]], the [[Vault Guard]], and several other [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]]. After being escorted to the throne room by [[Toad]] the first time, [[Mario]] informs the Chancellor that the Princess is missing after a [[Exor|huge sword]] pierced [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. Soon, after returning from [[Mushroom Way]], Mario and [[Mallow]] find [[Shymore]]s coming out of the castle's front door, with most of the castle's Mushroom People hiding in the [[Peach's Room]]. After the leader, [[Claymorton]], is defeated in the throne room, the first [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]] is discovered and the castle returns to normal. Later, Princess Peach is returned to the castle after rescuing her at [[Marrymore]]; however, she escapes from her bedroom window using a parasol, and joins Mario's party while Granny is disguised as her.

 

After obtaining the fifth Star Piece, [[Samus|Samus Aran]] makes a cameo resting in the castle's guest room.

It has the same role in the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|2023 remake]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]], although it is slightly redesigned to have blue rooftops instead of red to have it better reflect its appearance in the world map. Because of video cutscenes being included in the remake, it also adds a scene showing Peach jumping out of the tower on-screen to rejoin Mario, which was merely implied in the original game.

[[File:Peach Castle in Super Mario 64.png|thumb|The castle in ''Super Mario 64'']]

The Mushroom Castle is the main hub in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It contains many rooms with [[painting]]s (some of which can be [[jump]]ed into to access courses) and furniture. The [[Castle Grounds]] are surrounded by hills that prevent the player from escaping. After the player defeats [[Bowser]], Princess Peach emerges from the stained glass window on the front of the castle. When the player gets every [[Power Star]] in the game, the [[cannon]] in the Castle Grounds is unlocked, granting access to three [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]]s and [[Yoshi]] (or one of [[Luigi]]'s [[rabbit]]s in the DS version) on the roof.

*One can be obtained by collecting eight [[Red Coin]]s in the [[Courtyard (Peach's Castle)|courtyard]] by defeating [[Boo]]s.

[[File:Peach's Castle NSMB background.png|thumb|left|The castle shown in the intro of ''New Super Mario Bros.'']]

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the castle is featured during the game's opening in which Peach holds her birthday party. After she is kidnapped by the [[Koopalings]], Mario, Luigi, and two Toads immediately chase Peach, and two other Toads back at the castle fire [[Penguin Suit]]s and [[Propeller Mushroom]]s out of a cannon into the Mushroom Kingdom. The castle is also where [[hint movies]] can be watched, and can be obtained by giving [[Star Coin]]s to a Toad who resides in the castle. Once again, it can be seen in the background at the start of [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-1]].

[[File:KingdomBuilderItem144.png|thumb|Peach's Tent in the Shop]]

In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Peach's Castle is destroyed by Bowser after he kidnaps Peach. The rest of the buildings in the Mushroom Kingdom were destroyed as well. '''Peach's Tent''' appears in the castle's place, and has a similar color scheme. It is sometimes referred to as '''your castle''' or '''the castle'''<ref name="RunStartArticle">{{cite|quote=Increase the number of Toads by playing Toad Rally to raise the level of your castle! If you reach level four, the castle will...|title=New to the game? Check this out first!|date=March 9, 2018|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=October 30, 2024}}</ref> in much the same way the Mushroom Kingdom is called "your kingdom" and "the kingdom".

 

If the player gathers enough [[Toad (species)|Toads]] through the Toad Rally mode, the castle will [[level up]]<ref name="RunStartArticle"/>, being rebuilt in place of the Tent. The more Toads the player collects, the larger the castle becomes, and eventually it becomes larger than the castle at the start of the game. Peach's Castle stops expanding at level 20, when the player has at least 4,000 Toads. Tapping on the Castle or Tent shows a image called "A Kingdom Past", showing the Mushroom Kingdom's state before Bowser attacked. After defeating Bowser in [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]] returns to the castle and can be seen standing in front of it. If the player has at least 50000 Toads, [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|Peach's Tent]] can be purchased from the Shop in Kingdom Builder. The Tent's description reveals that it was put into storage.

 

After 999 Power Moons are collected, the castle's tallest tower will be covered by a giant top hat. Climbing on top of it and throwing Cappy at the glowing spot will trigger a short cinematic, showing a display of fireworks as Peach and Tiara wave towards the camera from the balcony and a triumphant rearrangement of the level clear tune from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' plays. However, if a [[Goomba Tower]] with a stack of ten is at the front of the castle while the celebration plays out, Peach and Tiara will instead become scared.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sD1Kist2Ok|title=''Super Mario Odyssey'' - throwing Cappy above the hat’s pole with a Goomba Tower nearby|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 21, 2022|author=YuRi Sunga|date=March 20, 2024}}</ref>

In addition to reappearing in the background of the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' Ground theme, Peach's Castle plays a key role in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''{{'}}s Story Mode. In it, Chief Toadette and her group of Toads have just finished building the castle, but [[Undodog]] appears and steps on a [[Reset Rocket]], causing the castle to be erased. The mode revolves around Mario going on jobs requested by various characters in order to collect coins to have the Toads rebuild the castle. In certain cases, including nearing the end, various Toads request errands to help complete the castle, and also rescue various Toads who got abducted while otherwise unoccupied with the task, with the Chief ending up being abducted by Meowser just before the finishing touches to the castle were completed. Afterwards, Peach arrived and proceeded to thank Mario and the Toads for the hard work in restoring the castle before kissing Mario on the face. However, Undodog approached the Reset Rocket, causing everyone to panic as it irised out, although the end credits revealed that they ultimately managed to stop Undodog from erasing the castle again.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', Peach's Castle appears in the background of [[GBA Peach Circuit|Peach Circuit]], [[SNES Mario Circuit 1|Mario Circuit 1]], [[Mario Circuit 4]], and [[GBA Battle Course 3|Battle Course 3]], where it uses a similar design to ''[[Paper Mario]]'', while its appearance in Peach Circuit's icon more closely resembles its design in {{file link|Marioglobe.png|key artwork}} for ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. In Peach Circuit and Battle Course 3's reappearances in ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart Wii'' respectively, the castle lacks the flags. Peach's Castle can also be seen in the background of [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Super Circuit)|Rainbow Road]] atop [[Bowser's Castle]], just like in ''Paper Mario''.

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the castle reappears once more in its iteration of [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart DS)|Mario Circuit]], where the castle is situated on a large lake in the middle of the track. It retains its design from ''Super Mario 64''. It aslo appears in {{classic|GBA|Peach Circuit}}. A country estate with a similar design appears in [[DS Peach Gardens|Peach Gardens]]. Because the bridge is blocked by a gate, unlike ''Mario Kart 64'', the player cannot drive up to the castle's entrance.

[[File:MarioCircuit MKWii.png|thumb|Mario Circuit in ''Mario Kart Wii'']]

In the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the castle appears in {{classic|DS|Mario Circuit}}, retaining its design from ''Mario Kart Tour''.

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Peach's Castle reprises its role in 3DS Mario Circuit, with an updated design and doors at the front entrance. It also appears in N64 Royal Raceway, DS Mario Circuit, and GBA Peach Circuit, with the same design.

The castle in its ''Super Mario 64'' design appears in ''[[Wrecking Crew '98]]'' when the player wins the Tournament mode, and their character is seen parading in a car.

[[File:Peach Gardens.jpg|thumb|left|The castle in ''Mario Golf: World Tour''.]]

Many golf courses in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]] depict Peach's Castle in the background of the namesake course. Peach's Castle is first referenced in the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'', as the title of the [[Peach's Castle (Nintendo 64 golf course)|Peach's Castle]] golf course, but the place itself does not appear. The [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|''Mario Golf]]'' has its own [[Peach's Castle (Game Boy Color golf course)|Peach's Castle]], which actually takes place at the castle, though on a floating landmass in the sky, and Peach invites the protagonist to compete here after they clear the other four tournaments. In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', the castle is in the first and eighteenth holes of the namesake [[Peach's Castle Grounds]]. In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', Peach's Castle is seen in the background of [[Peach Gardens (golf course)|Peach Gardens]].

[[File:Shadow Over Peach Castle 4.png|thumb|Peach's Castle being covered by a shadow in the opening of ''Mario Party 4'']]

[[File:MP7Tiebreaker.jpg|thumb|left|Peach's Castle in the MSS Sea Star at the end of a Party Cruise match in ''Mario Party 7''.]]

In the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], the exterior of Peach's Castle can be seen, most commonly as a background element. The castle's first appearance in the series is in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', where it is shown in the upper right corner of [[Mystery Land]]. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', the castle appears in the background of the minigame [[Curtain Call]]. In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Peach's Castle appears in the background of the minigame [[Coin Cache]], though the opening shows the player characters walking out the front door of the castle. In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', Peach's Castle can be seen on the TV of the [[Miracle Book]] page "Spring Cleaning". In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', the castle can be seen on a painting in the [[Duty-Free Shop]]. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', Peach's Castle appears in the background of the minigame [[Crank to Rank]]. In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', Peach's Castle appears at the starting area of [[Mushroom Park]], and a toy version of the castle appears on Princess Peach's [[Peach Board|amiibo board]] in the top left section, where the player can play a game to earn coins. In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', the castle appears in the minigame [[Night Lights]], where four strings are connected to the top, with player characters competing to turn theirs on first.

Peach's Castle more specifically appears in the background of the intro cutscene in a few games. In ''Mario Party 3'', Peach's Castle not only appears in the intro, but entering it lets allows one to play any unlocked minigames and music, as well as change the game's options. Similarly, Peach's Castle appears in the opening sequence of ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', where the bag covering the [[Party Cube]] is briefly seen casting a shadow over Peach's Castle, which also appears in the background of the main menu. Similarly, the intro and ending for Solo Mode take place outside Peach's Castle in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', where both parts of the story feature the characters looking through a telescope outside the castle to view the [[Mini Star]]s. Additionally, the castle can be seen in the background on the main menu. In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' Peach's Castle can appears in the background several times during the intro.

An end-of-game ceremony takes place at Peach's Castle in the [[MSS Sea Star]] after a Party Cruise game has concluded in ''Mario Party 7''. Here, [[Toadsworth]] announces the game's current scores and gives out the three [[Bonus Star]]s to the players based on their performance during the game. When it's time to reveal the Superstar, all four (or eight) contestants will enter the castle to determine the champion. Once they get to the top of the castle, the doors will open and the winner is revealed. That player (or team) is the superstar.

The castle was once again taken over by the [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Corps]] during the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]''. In the beginning of the game, Princess Peach invites [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to a party at the castle. However, while the Mario Bros. (and numerous other guests) are having fun, Bowser hatches an elaborate plan that causes [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]] to rise into the stratosphere ''under'' Peach's Castle, taking the Princess' castle with it. Many of the party guests are imprisoned and Bowser throws Mario out of a window, sending him spiraling back toward the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach is once again forced to be a prisoner in her own castle.

When Mario visits [[Star Hill|Shooting Star Summit]] in the prologue, [[Peach's Room|Princess Peach's room]] is visited by [[Twink]], a Star Kid who offers to help Princess Peach. After every chapter of the game (except the last), there will be an intermission in Peach's Castle when the player controls Princess Peach to collect information for Mario from [[Bowser's diary]], talking [[Koopatrol]]s and [[Hammer Bro]]s, [[Gourmet Guy]], the [[64th Trivia Quiz-Off]], etc.

The player can access the castle and its grounds in their "normal" state, as they were before the castle's uprooting, prior to the game's prologue. The player controls Mario for the last time as he enters the castle to attend a party commemorating his victory over Bowser and his forces, and once he is there, Peach arrives and gives a speech thanking Mario, his partners, and everyone else who supported him for all they had done to restore the kingdom to its former peace.

A Collectible Treasure of Peach's Castle (No. 1) is found inside a chest in [[Whispering Woods]]. Mario must clear the leaf-matching mini-game to make a [[Super Star]] appear, then use it to walk on spikes in order to access the chest containing the treasure.

[[File:MLSS Peach's Castle.png|thumb|Princess Peach's Castle in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.]]

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and its 3DS remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Princess Peach's Castle, also referred to as the '''Mushroom Kingdom Castle''',<ref>{{cite|author=Thomason, Steve|title=''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Player's Guide|page=28|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=2003|isbn=1-930206-43-7}}</ref> plays a very minor role. The castle grounds can be explored at the start of the game, and the castle can be viewed from [[Hoohoo Mountain]] in the original game. Mario's battle with Bowser takes place inside Princess Peach's throne room, but the castle interior cannot be explored. The castle rooftop is yellow rather than the normal red.

At the beginning of the game, Princess Peach receives a gift from the [[Lady Lima|Goodwill Ambassador]] from the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] at her castle, but the ambassador and her assistant soon reveal themselves ([[Cackletta]] and [[Fawful]] in disguise) and steal Peach's voice. Peach's voice is replaced with explosives, which blow up the castle. Later in the game, it is revealed that who is stolen the voice of is actually [[Birdo]] in disguise, and the real Peach is hiding behind a curtain with [[Toadsworth]] when the fake Peach is receiving Cackletta and Fawful.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the castle is the main traveling point of the game, nearly identical to how it was used in ''Super Mario 64''. The music is also a cover version to the aforementioned game. The castle held all of the [[time hole]]s leading into the past in the entire game.

There are many items and [[coin]]s and the castle is home to one of the game's three item shops. There are 2 bosses the player fights in there, one against the [[Junior Shrooboid]] and the other the last boss in the game; [[Shrowser]]. Goombas can also be fought in the basement area.

{{image|more=yes|Images of the remake}}

The princess' castle reappears in the sequel to ''Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''.

Later in the game, Fawful takes over Peach's Castle, which serves as the final area of the game. In the original game, the castle does not look too different except in ruins. In the remake however, the castle walls and towers are changed to dark blue, the roofs and tower tops are changed to magenta, the windows are blocked off, Fawful's likeness is plastered everywhere, the interior is much darker and there are dark clouds above the castle the whole time (in the original game, the dark clouds were only present during the final battle). Fawful also transforms the entire castle into a [[Super Peach's Castle of Fury|giant robot]], which Bowser battles as his final giant boss, severely damaging the castle in the process. After that, he must defeat Fawful and [[Dark Bowser]] before they destroy the entire Mushroom Kingdom. Mario and Luigi can enter the castle in this state, but since only Bowser can destroy the Fawful statues in the way and climb on the walls by rolling, they can't go past the entrance, but they can get access to a secret passage to get a new piece of equipment and some [[bean]]s. After the defeat of Fawful and the [[Dark Star]], the castle is gradually repaired back to its old self over the course of the credits.

[[File:MvDK2 Room 1-2.png|thumb|The castle in the background of [[Room 1-2 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis)|Room 1-2]] in ''March of the Minis'']]

Peach's Castle is a recurring background feature in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', it can be seen drawn in the background of [[Mushroom Mayhem]], both on the first floor and sixth floor, under the name '''Toadstool Castle'''. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', Peach's Castle can be seen in [[Rooftop (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Rooftop]] levels. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'', Peach's Castle can be seen in the extended background of [[Swirling Courtyard]]. In ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', Peach's Castle is visible in the extended background of [[Balloon Float Castle]] and on the map within range of these levels.

Peach's Castle is a location in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. The location had been affected by the Vibe Scepter and Bowser's minions captured Mario, Luigi and Toad while Princess Peach, Toadsworth and another Toad were enjoying a walk. The castle bears six or eight towers supporting the outside walls. If not, it can be explained that the rear of the castle is wider than the front and would require symmetrical placement of towers, therefore allowing only four towers to be visible in the opening scenes.

Peach's Castle only makes background appearances in a few of the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' games. In the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', a background based on Peach's Castle appears in the third segment of the Mario World routine in [[Dream Figure Skating]], using its design from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Peach's Castle also returns in the background of Mario Circuit. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', Peach's Castle appears in two of the backgrounds for [[Mario's Figure Skating Spectacular]], using its design from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. It appears in the distance on the first background, and then forms the majority of the final one. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', Peach's Castle appears in the background of [[Dream Karate]], using its design from ''Super Mario Odyssey''.

Peach's Castle is a court and background element for [[Mushroom Cup]] tournaments in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. The main gimmick of this court is sprinklers that turn on and off. In dodgeball, the water acts as the dividing line between the two sides of the court. When the water goes down, players can move anywhere on the court, even the other team's side. In basketball, it acts as an obstacle to stop players from getting to the hoop. In hockey, it blocks the puck from going into the goal immediately. In volleyball, it will cause the ball to bounce back.

Though it cannot be entered, the area surrounding the castle serves as the hub world of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', and is the place where all [[Rabbids]] are sent after being freed from the influence of the [[Megabug]]. As the game progresses, elements from the areas visited by the heroes appear on and around the castle as decorations. After the main story is cleared, the castle's exterior becomes golden.

In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', Peach’s Castle is only playable at the beginning of the game, where Mario and [[Rabbid Peach]] must find [[Rabbid Mario]]'s overalls, which had been hidden in a bush by [[Rabbid Luigi]]. After the [[Darkmess Manta]] attacks, Mario and his friends [[Unrevisitable area|cannot return here]], rendering stone spirals and coins not found here [[Missable content|missable]]. Peach’s Castle is also seen at the ending, where [[Rosalina]] thanks Mario and his friends for saving her from [[Cursa]].

[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Grounds Map.png|frame|left|Map of the Castle Grounds (DS version)]]

[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Moatless Grounds Map.png|frame|The Castle Grounds with the moat drained (DS version)]]

The player begins the game in the [[Castle Grounds]]. A sealed [[cannon]] is found near the lake to the right. After the player obtains all 120 [[Power Star]]s (150 in the remake), the cannon opens and the player is able to launch themselves to the top of the castle roof, where the player finds [[Yoshi]], who gives Mario 100 lives and an enhanced [[Triple Jump]]. Also up there is a [[Cap Block|red block]] holding a [[Wing Cap]]. In the DS version, Yoshi is seen on the roof only in the introductory cutscene, due to the fact that he is now a playable character. However, Luigi's final [[rabbit]] can be found on the castle roof, as well as a red block holding a [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] (or the [[Wings (Super Mario 64 DS)|Wings]] if the player uses Mario). The roof in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' features a small fence around the area where the three [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]]s are found. It is possible to get to the top of the castle by climbing down the [[tree]] when the moat is not drained, or by [[list of Super Mario 64 DS glitches#Underground pool|a special technique]] that all of the characters, except Yoshi, have to get to the roof without even using the cannon. A moat surrounds the castle, and it can be drained during gameplay if the player [[Ground Pound|ground-pounds]] the two [[brick pillar]]s in the basement. After the moat is drained, the player can enter [[The Secret Under the Moat|Vanish Cap Under the Moat]] (named The Secret Under the Moat in the remake). There is also a waterfall, which acts as the exit of the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]] (renamed Behind the Waterfall in the remake).

After entering the castle, the player finds a [[Toad (species)|Toad]], who says to go to the portrait of the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], the only course that has not been sealed by [[Bowser]] at the time. There is also a locked door that leads to the second floor. There are also two wooden doors, which both lead to the [[Boo]]-infested hallway, the [[courtyard (Peach's Castle)|courtyard]], and the stairs to the basement. The stairs are located between two pillars, each with two [[coin]]s on it. The door to the right of the mezzanine leads to the [[Peach's Room|Princess's room]], which hides [[The Princess's Secret Slide]]; in the DS version, this room is repurposed to have [[switching room]]s, and a door within leads to the castle's [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]]. The [[Big Star Door]] to the left of the mezzanine is where Bowser resides in the level [[Bowser in the Dark World]]. A portrait of Princess Peach is found at the end of the corridor. However, the deceiving portrait turns into an image of Bowser as the player walks down the corridor. In the middle of the main room, a sun in the form of a rug sends the player to the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] (named ? Switch in the remake) when they look at the sun shining from the ceiling. A 3-[[★ door]] to the right leads into the [[Jolly Roger Bay]] main hub room. Its room has two squares in the wall, to the left and right of the entrance each. Going into the one on the left rewards a 1-UP Mushroom to the player's character. The square on the right leads to the level [[The Secret Aquarium]].

The third floor consists of a small round room with [[Tick Tock Clock|a clock]] seen directly opposite the door. There are two small niches in both sides of the wall, each leading to a different course: The one to the left warps the player to [[Over the Rainbows|Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]] (named Over the Rainbows in the remake), and the one on the right warps the player to [[Rainbow Ride]]. Above the door of the third floor is yet another Big Star Door, where a staircase leads to the final battle ([[Bowser in the Sky]]). However, 70 Power Stars (80 in the remake) are needed to break the spell of the [[endless stairs]].

The basement is the lowest area of Peach's Castle, as it is just below ground level. It can be entered through the set of stairs that descend near the first floor. It consists of many areas all linked together by doors. One of the lower areas of the basement is made up of shallow water. An area found at the front of the castle basement is initially completely flooded with [[water]] from the castle moat. However, the moat can be drained by ground-pounding two pillars. After the player has done so, the water drains and a door that was previously inaccessible leads to the Castle Grounds.

|style="text-align:left"|'''[[Missable content|In the original, this Hidden Treasure can only be opened the first time Mario enters the castle.]]''' When Mario sees [[Toad#Super_Mario_RPG:_Legend_of_the_Seven_Stars|Toad]], he should jump on his head. As Toad approaches the door, the player should jump up from him to the platform above the doorway. Jumping at the center of the platform reveals the Hidden Treasure. In [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|the remake]], the player can get the chest at any time by jumping on a mushroom person's head and jumping up to it.

*"''There is no known cure. An emergency meeting is called at Peach's Castle in the heart of the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach brings together her best counsel, including the wise Toadsworth, to come up with a plan to stop the Blorbs and rescue the afflicted Toads to their normal sizes. Peach requests the help of the Star Sprites  to solve the Blorb problem, and the Star Sprites send one of their pluckiest to assist: Starlow. But Starlow isn't the only help Peach has summoned. The heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom are on their way, too.''" (Peach's Castle, first visit)

*"''The second floor of Peach Castle's{{sic}} is strictly Bowser's domain. There are too many spikes is{{sic}} Fawful's new decorations for the Bros. to chase down the villain. Bowser rolls roughshod over the monsters that haunt the halls of the castle. He must collect three special keys to move on to the castle's third floor, but to get all of the keys, Bowser must fancy himself a pinball and try not to tilt.''" (Peach's Castle—2F)

*"''Bowser has finally caught up with Fawful and Midbus. The diabolical duo have almost powered up the Dark Star with Princess Peach's energy. if Bowser doesn't stop them now, the Dark Star will come to life. Should Fawful harness the fury of the Dark Star, the whole kingdom teeters on doom.''" (Peach's Castle & Airway)

*"''This is it. Only Bowser can finish off Dark Bowser. The Koopa King must ascend the tower of Peach's Castle and challenge the Dark Star's evil Bowser doppelganger to a duel. Dark Bowser will be a worthy opponent. He has taken all of Bowser's skills and powered them up with the fury of the Dark Star. But Bowser has a secret weapon, even if he doesn't know it. Waiting in Bowser's belly are Mario and Luigi, ready to take on the essence of the Dark Star itself. All Bowser needs to do is to separate it from Dark Bowser and let the heroes go to work on it.''" (Peach's Castle Tower)
