'''Castle Bleck''' is the setting of [[Super Paper Mario#Chapter 8: Castle Bleck|Chapter 8]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is a monochrome castle located in [[The Void]], with the interior having a similar aesthetic to the original look of [[World 8-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 8-1]] in the [[Dark Land]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The castle is separated into four main areas, one for each Chapter section respectively: the Entry, the Foyer, the Interior, and the Inner Sanctum. Castle Bleck is one of only two worlds (the other being [[The Bitlands]]) to have at least one boss battle in each level ([[O'Chunks]] in 8-1, [[Mimi]] in 8-2, [[Dimentio]] in 8-3, and [[Count Bleck]] and [[Super Dimentio]] in 8-4). It is also one of the only two worlds (the other being [[Outer Space]]) to end with a two part boss battle. Castle Bleck's theme is a cover version of the [[Pure Heart]]s', Count Bleck's, and the [[Chaos Heart]]'s theme, mixed with some 8-bit sound effects. According to [[The InterNed]], the music that plays while [[Princess Peach|Peach]] or [[Luigi]] are trying to escape Castle Bleck in the interludes after Chapters 1 and 2 is titled "In the Darkness". | |||

After the end of chapter 1, Castle Bleck first appears where Peach tries to escape from it.

Castle Bleck is the setting of Chapter 8 in Super Paper Mario. It is a monochrome castle located in The Void, with the interior having a similar aesthetic to the original look of World 8-1 in the Dark Land of Super Mario Bros. 3. The castle is separated into four main areas, one for each Chapter section respectively: the Entry, the Foyer, the Interior, and the Inner Sanctum. Castle Bleck is one of only two worlds (the other being The Bitlands) to have at least one boss battle in each level (O'Chunks in 8-1, Mimi in 8-2, Dimentio in 8-3, and Count Bleck and Super Dimentio in 8-4). It is also one of the only two worlds (the other being Outer Space) to end with a two part boss battle. Castle Bleck's theme is a cover version of the Pure Hearts', Count Bleck's, and the Chaos Heart's theme, mixed with some 8-bit sound effects. According to The InterNed, the music that plays while Peach or Luigi are trying to escape Castle Bleck in the interludes after Chapters 1 and 2 is titled "In the Darkness".
History[edit]
After the end of chapter 1, Castle Bleck first appears where Peach tries to escape from it. She, along with a Hammer Bro and Private Koopa (who are eventually hypnotized by Nastasia), search for an exit. Castle Bleck later re-appears at the end of chapter 2, where Luigi tries to search for an exit, with the help of two Goombas. The three eventually reach a dead end and are all hypnotized by Nastasia.
Castle Bleck is first visited by the player after all the Pure Hearts are collected, being accessed via the Black Door in Flopside. Each section of Castle Bleck involves a different set of puzzles, and the first three sections end with the player fighting one of the main antagonists and losing a party member:
- Chapter 8-1 involves using the four characters' special abilities to collect keys and activate triggers. O'Chunks is fought at the end, and Bowser is lost afterward.
- Chapter 8-2 involves avoiding many traps similar to the ones seen during the events of Merlee's Mansion. Mimi is fought at the end, and Peach is lost afterward.
- Chapter 8-3 involves the player trying to get out of loops and chasing Dimentio through one section of a level from each of the previous chapters. Dimentio is fought at the end, and Luigi is lost afterward.
- Chapter 8-4 involves large mazes of doors that require the player to flip to solve them. Count Bleck is fought here, and the characters that were lost from the previous boss-fights return. Once Count Bleck is defeated, Super Dimentio is fought.
