"'''Peach's Castle'''",<ref name="NMusic">[[Nintendo Music]]</ref> also known as "'''Inside the Castle Walls'''",<ref name=SM64>''[[Super Mario 64 Original Soundtrack]]''</ref> is a recurring musical theme composed by [[Koji Kondo]] first used as the background music for [[Peach's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is usually associated with the castle and [[Princess Peach]] herself.

==Composition==
The original version of the theme heard in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' is played by a string ensemble. In the A section, all of the parts harmonize the melody's rhythm, aside from {{wp|pizzicato}} runs, contrasting the melody with brief silences. This leads into a contrapuntal {{wp|legato}} B section.
