'''Whomp's Fortress''', also known as the '''Whomp King's Fortress'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', page 46</ref>, is the stronghold home of the [[Whomp]] race and their leader, the [[Whomp King]]. It is the second level in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and can be accessed via a painting on the first floor of [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. Only one [[Power Star]] is needed to open the door to the painting. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', a few minor changes were made, and in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the [[Throwback Galaxy]] is essentially a replica of Whomp's Fortress. Wario's first rabbit is found at the entrance of this course in the DS version.
The [[level]] received some additional elements and platforms in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake and was remade for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' under the name [[Throwback Galaxy]]. In addition, the Whomp's Fortress painting from ''Super Mario 64'' also appears in the Super Mario Mash-up of ''[[Minecraft]]'' as one of the paintings that can be hung on a wall.

[[File:SM64DS Whomp's Fortress Map.png|frame|left|Map of Whomp's Fortress in ''Super Mario 64 DS'']]
Whomp's Fortress is a large, tall stone fortress populated by Whomps, [[Thwomp]]s, and [[Piranha Plant]]s. The player starts off in a field area at the base of the fortress, which contains some [[Flower (environmental object)|flower beds]], a Piranha Plant, some [[Goomba]]s (in the Nintendo DS version only), and this course's [[Star Marker]]. The [[tree]] at the start of the level also contains [[Hoot]] during certain missions. At the top of the nearby ramp are some [[Bomp|Moving Bar]]s that try to shove the player off the ledge. After those are gaps with receding platforms over them followed by a couple of Thwomps guarding a set of stairs to the upper area. Near the Thwomps are a [[Cap Block|green block]] and a [[warp]] that takes the player farther up the fortress. The path splits at the top of the stairs, with a ramp going downward and a path to the right with some steps leading up to a Piranha Plant. The downward ramp leads to a pool of water, a [[Bob-omb Buddy]] and a [[cannon]], and a small area with a [[Blue Coin Block]] and some Goombas (DS version only). The right-hand path leads to the top of the fortress and contains Piranha Plants, a falling bridge, a turning bridge, and some Whomps. At the top of the fortress is the Whomp King, though only during the [[Chip Off Whomp's Block|first mission]]. Every other mission has a tall tower with receding steps at the top of the fortress. Above the course are several platforms that can be reached either by using Hoot to fly up there or by knocking over a board at the top of the fortress.
 
''Super Mario 64 DS'' has additional platforms going around the base of the fortress that can be reached by [[jump]]ing over the fence near the start or by [[Long Jump|long-jump]]ing over the fence at the area near the cannon with the Goombas and a Blue Coin Block. This new area contains the [[Star Switch]] and [[Star Sphere]] (at opposite ends), more Piranha Plants, a [[Bill Blaster|Blaster]], and a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] the player can find by breaking a [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Brick]]. This area has many [[coin]] sources not in the original, making it even easier to get the 100-Coin Star.

[[File:SMG2 Throwback Galaxy Screenshot.png|thumb|The starting area of the galaxy]]
A near-perfect replica of Whomp's Fortress appears in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as the [[Throwback Galaxy]]. The graphics have been redesigned, the music has been recomposed, and the level layout is basically the same with some minor differences, such as a [[Midway Point]] at the top of the fortress, [[Star Bit]]s around the level, a [[Chance Cube]] near the beginning, and the removal of Hoot. The floating isles were removed, although a bonus planet was added, most likely replacing the said islands. Unlike the original, the walls are automatically blasted away, suggesting Mario revisits the same place as in ''Super Mario 64''. Also suggesting this is the fact one [[Bob-omb Buddy]] says [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] looks familiar. This is probably because he has seen him in ''Super Mario 64'' or, in the case of Luigi, its DS remake. Also, the player fights a Whomp at the top of the fortress, as opposed to the King himself, then drops down to the underside of the planet to fight the Whomp King. This difference was to probably trick players of the original game into thinking that he was the Whomp King, as Whomps had been greatly increased in size to be almost identical to Whomp King, while the King was made even bigger.
Whomp's Fortress reappears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where it is referred to as the Throwback Galaxy. The graphics have been updated, the music has been rearranged, and the level layout is essentially the same as the ''Super Mario 64'' version. There are some minor differences, such as a [[Checkpoint Flag]] at the top of the fortress, [[Star Bit]]s around the level, a [[Chance Cube]] near the beginning, and the lack of [[Hoot]]. The floating isles were also removed, and a Bonus Planet was added. The cannon that was used to blast away the wall corners in the original has been replaced with a [[Sling Star]]. Here, the wall corners are already gone, suggesting that this is the same location [[Mario]] visits in ''Super Mario 64''. Also suggesting this is a [[Bob-omb Buddy]] who says that Mario/[[Luigi]] looks familiar. The player fights a standard [[Whomp]] at the top of the fortress before dropping down to the underside of the planet to fight the [[Whomp King]].
