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]].


'''Princess Peach's Castle''' (also known as '''Mushroom Castle''' or simply '''Peach's Castle''') is the castle situated within the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and is its most prominent landmark. [[Princess Peach]] and many [[Toad (species)|Toads]] including [[Toad (character)|Toad]] and [[Toadsworth]] live here. The rooms inside the castle vary from game to game, as does the castle's location. It is recognized by a tall tower standing in the center of the castle and is supported by four towers along the outside walls in most games.  
Peach sometimes has a castle different from her usual one. At the [[Peach Field]] in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', there is a castle that stands on a gigantic and poorly structured rock out in the sea, and it is visible from Koopa Beach. The castles of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', are also said to be in the Mushroom Kingdom and invaded by [[Bowser]].

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[File:PeachsCastleAnime.png|thumb|left|Peach's Castle as seen in ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!'']]
Peach's Castle is first depicted in the anime film ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' In the film, Bowser conquers the Mushroom Kingdom in response to Princess Peach turning down his marriage proposal, resulting in him kidnapping Peach and taking over her castle. While [[Bowser's Castle|under his control]], the castle is situated on a tall mountaintop and includes catacombs full of traps, including a [[Fire Bar]] and a pit full of [[lava]] and [[Lava Bubble]]s. The castle is destroyed when Luigi accidentally floods the lava pit while mining for [[coin]]s, but it is restored to its original form after Bowser's defeat breaks his spell over the kingdom. The design of the restored castle would set a precedent for later depictions, being a traditional European castle with white brickwork and large pink spires and flagpoles atop each tower.

====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
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]].
 
====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[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]]."


In main [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' titles]], the castle is normally seen on grassy plains away from civilization while the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] sometimes depicts it in a busy town. ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|successor]] show it to be in town but in a less crowded area. Regardless of the game, the castle is always found in [[Toad Town]].
===''Super Mario'' (Kodansha manga)===
[[File:KC Kingdom Castle flood.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The castle, flooded]]
In [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha's ''Super Mario'' manga]], the castle appears at the start of the ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' adaptation. [[Mushroom King|The king]] asks [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to fix its flooding problem.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
Peach's Castle has appeared a few times in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. In [[Super Mario-kun Volume 6|volume 6]], after the ending of the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' arc, Bowser's Castle is taken over by Peach.

[[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:CastleSM64.jpg|thumb|200px|The castle in ''Super Mario 64''.]]
[[File:Peach Castle in Super Mario 64.png|thumb|The castle in ''Super Mario 64'']]
Peach's Castle makes its official debut in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. At the beginning of the game, the princess invites Mario over for a cake; unfortunately, by the time [[Mario|the plumber]] arrives, [[Bowser]] has seized control of the castle. The Koopa King achieves this feat by stealing nearly all of the [[Power Star|Power Stars]] that give the castle its energy. Once the Power Stars are in his possession, he uses their magic to seal the inhabitants of the castle--the Princess and a bevy of [[Toad (species)|Toads]]--within the walls of the building, imprisoning them. After disposing of them, Bowser uses the Stars' power to warp the castle to his own design, creating massive worlds within paintings, walls, and other structures of the castle, populating those worlds with his minions, and concealing the Stars themselves within them. When Mario arrives, he begins a quest to recover the stolen Power Stars, exploring the castle's four floors (basement, first, second, and third floor), moat, and courtyard to recover them from Bowser's grasp. Along the way, Mario finds secret stars that Bowser had not discovered; the Toads within the walls help as well by offering advice, cheering Mario on, and even, on three occasions, giving Mario Power Stars that they kept safe from Bowser. When Mario has collected enough Stars, he is able to climb to the tallest tower in the castle and fight the King of the Koopas in his [[Bowser in the Sky| final hideout]]. After defeating him, Mario flies outside and discovers that Princess Toadstool herself had been magically locked into the large stained-glass window of her image that sits above the castle's main entrance. With the Power Stars saved, Peach's Castle is restored to its original form, the Princess and Toads are freed, and everyone celebrates with cake.
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 all of the [[Power Star]]s 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.
<br clear=all>


====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
In the original version, five secret Power Stars are obtained around the Mushroom Castle itself. Three are each obtained by talking to certain [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s around the castle. The other two are obtained by catching [[MIPS]] around the castle. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the Power Stars from MIPS are no longer obtainable, which means only three Power Stars returned in the remake. Three Power Stars were introduced in the remake, which makes a total of six Power Stars that can be obtained at the Mushroom Castle:
[[File:SM64DS-Peach's Castle.PNG|frame|left|The castle as seen in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.]]
*One can be obtained by collecting eight [[Red Coin]]s in the [[Courtyard (Peach's Castle)|courtyard]] by defeating [[Boo]]s.
Peach's Castle is introduced as the central hub for the entire adventure in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' as well. At the start of the game, Peach sends a letter to Mario, and Mario, Luigi, and Wario proceed to enter the castle. After the three are kidnapped by Bowser, Yoshi is seen sleeping on the roof (a possible reference to ''Super Mario 64''), only to be awakened by one of the Lakitu Bros., and carried by him to the front of the castle. The Lakitu Bro tells Yoshi that Mario didn't return from the castle yet, and Yoshi heads to the castle, starting the adventure.
*One can be obtained by Luigi when he goes behind a door inside the large mirror in the room with the [[Snowman's Land]] and [[Chief Chilly Challenge]] paintings.
{{br|left}}
*One can be obtained by catching eight [[glowing rabbit]]s in total.

[[File:NSMB-Peach Castle.PNG|thumb|left|The castle shown in the game's intro.]]
[[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.]]'', the castle is seen in the game's opening, where it is attacked by a thundercloud (possibly [[Lakithunder]]) shortly before [[Bowser Jr.]] kidnaps the princess. Since this game, the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series has had a running theme of having Peach's Castle in [[1-1 (NSMB)|World 1-1]], plainly visible at the start of the stages. The only exceptions to this running theme are ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'' (see section for details).
The castle reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' where it is struck by lightning in the beginning (as a diversion while Peach is kidnapped) and can be seen in [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. Since this game, the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' series has had a running theme of having Peach's Castle visible in the background of the first level of each game.

[[File:SMG Prolog2.png|thumb|Peach's Castle as it appears during the [[Star Festival]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Princess Peach invites Mario to her castle during the [[Star Festival]], in order to show him the [[Luma (character)|Luma]] she has found. As he makes his way there, however, Bowser appears and lifts the entire castle into outer space; despite Mario's efforts to hang on, he is sent flying into the cosmos by [[Kamek]], and a distressed Peach sends Luma to help him as her castle is brought to the center of the universe.
The castle reappears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', keeping its design from ''Super Mario 64''. A town adjacent to it and a road leading there are considered a part of the castle grounds, named [[Castle Gardens]] in the game. In the beginning of the game, Peach invites Mario to the castle for the [[Star Festival]]. When he gets there, Bowser lifts the castle into space and kidnaps Peach. At the end of the game, Rosalina flies Mario to the castle so that he can battle Bowser. When Bowser is defeated, the castle is sucked into his black hole, but it is expelled and returned to its original location in the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario (or Luigi) can access the castle grounds when they go to the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] after the player collects 120 Power Stars with both characters.
 
{{br|left}}
In order to reach the castle again, Mario must travel through numerous galaxies in order to reclaim the [[Power Star]]s responsible for sustaining the [[Comet Observatory]], which Bowser had stolen and used to fashion an intergalactic empire; in return, [[Rosalina]], the keeper of the observatory and mother of the Lumas, flies the plumber to the center of the universe once he has collected them all, where he uses a warp gate within the castle to reach [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]] and rescue Peach.
 
Following Bowser's defeat and the rescue of the final [[Grand Star]], the star it was being used to power implodes on itself, becoming a massive [[Black Hole]], which begins to consume Peach's castle along with the observatory and the remnants of the surrounding galaxy; the Lumas perform a sacrifice by flinging themselves into the center of the black hole in order to stabilize it. The resulting explosion restores the cosmos to their former state and returns the castle, along with Mario, Peach, and Bowser, to its rightful place in the Mushroom Kingdom. The castle resembles its design from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the castle was featured during the game's opening in which Peach was holding her birthday party. After Peach got kidnapped by the [[Koopalings]], Mario, Luigi, and two Toads immediately went in hot pursuit after those responsible for the crime. While the four heroes made haste, two other Toads back at the castle fired Penguin Suits and Propeller Mushrooms their way for them to use.

The castle appears very briefly in the opening of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. After Mario arrives, he finds it under attack by Bowser, who gloats at Mario and flies away with Princess Peach. Mario then meets two Lumas on the bridge over the moat, one of which turns into a Launch Star and sends him to [[Sky Station Galaxy]]. The castle also appears at the end of the credits where Mario and friends have a party for saving the galaxy.

[[Peach's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. U)|Peach's Castle]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' seems to be a similar place as it were in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. However, this iteration has a large moat surrounding the castle, an extra floor, as well as a tower on the right of the castle. In both of the game's openings, Bowser and the Koopalings once again attempt to kidnap Princess Peach. They take hostage over her at her own castle, which is the final area of the main game. Bowser and Bowser Jr. await the player at [[The Final Battle (New Super Mario Bros. U)|The Final Battle]], which takes place at the top floor of the castle.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', the castle is briefly seen in the opening cutscene as the [[Mario|pro]][[Luigi|tag]][[Princess Peach|oni]][[Blue Toad|sts]] take a walk on a starry night full of fireworks and meteors. The castle appears to have its design from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' this time around, but the main doors now have a rounded shape, and are blue with three spots, resembling a mushroom, and the grounds surrounding it are blocked by grassy hills.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', Peach's Castle can be seen in the background of the Ground theme in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' game style, which is based on [[Acorn Plains Way]].
 
====''Super Mario Run''====
[[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.
 
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:Peach's Castle Super Mario Odyssey.png|thumb|Peach's Castle in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
Peach's Castle appears in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It can be glimpsed in the opening cutscene, but it, like the rest of the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], can only be visited after completing the game. Its design is heavily based on its appearance in ''Super Mario 64'', and features some references to that game.
 
The roof of the castle can be accessed by throwing [[Cappy]] onto a nearby [[Scarecrow (object)|Scarecrow]], which creates a temporary set of stairs. [[Yoshi]] can be found on top of the roof like in ''Super Mario 64'', albeit encased in a [[Yoshi Egg]]; breaking the egg will release Yoshi and allow him to be [[Capture|captured]]. A Power Moon can be found on one of the castle's towers.


===''Super Mario-Kun''===
Behind the castle is a small ledge where [[Goombette]] can be found, and in the castle's moat is a [[Warp Pipe]] blocked off by a [[fruit (Yoshi food)|fruit]]. They can both be accessed by draining the moat, which is done by removing the four poles located underwater; this will also play the "puzzle solved" tune from ''Super Mario 64''. The Warp Pipe takes Mario to a painting of the [[Ruined Dragon]], allowing him to rematch the boss.
Princess Peach's Castle has appeared a few times in ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. It also takes in different appearances according to the game the volume is based on.


<center><gallery>
The castle's interior is heavily based on the main room of the first floor of the castle from ''Super Mario 64'', complete with a rearrangement of "Inside the Castle Walls" as the background music. [[Toadette]] can be found inside the castle, and will give Mario [[Power Moon]]s in exchange for accomplishing certain achievements. Two Power Moons can also be found there, one of which is collected by standing on the sun rug at the center and looking at the ceiling, which is a reference to how the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] is entered in ''Super Mario 64''. Three [[regional coin]]s can be collected behind [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s throne, and the kingdom's Hint Art can also be found inside the castle. Like in the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom, the Power Moons obtained in the castle have the appearance of [[Power Star]]s, and play the corresponding jingle from ''Super Mario 64'' when collected.

After Peach and Tiara are rescued, they travel the world on their own. If Mario returns to any of the kingdoms (excluding the [[Dark Side|Dark]] and [[Darker Side]]s), he is able to find them in certain areas. Upon returning to the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach and Tiara are located on the castle's balcony.
</gallery></center>
 
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>
 
====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
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.

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.
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', the intro and ending for Solo Mode take place outside Peach's Castle. 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.


====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
At the beginning of the game, where Mario explores the castle to find Peach, there is a Toad soldier guarding the princess's room. If Mario talks to him enough times, he will become annoyed and let Mario explore the room (however, he insists that he not touch anything). There is also a guest room turned Toad House later in the game, which is also the last Toad House in the game.
In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' during the intro, Peach's Castle can be seen in the background several times.


====''Mario Party 10''====
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', Peach's Castle appears at the starting area of [[Mushroom Park]]. This is its second appearance on a board, after ''[[Mario Party 2]]''.
{{See also|Origami Castle}}
[[File:PeachCastle_PMTOK.png|thumb|200px|Peach's Castle as it appears in ''Paper Mario: The Origami King''.]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', Peach's Castle makes its second appearance in the series (not counting a mention in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''), complete with a similar-looking interior. Its exterior, however, seems to take some cues from ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', sporting a wide moat and a turret-laden wall around it; the latter of which is explored by Mario at the beginning of the game.
 
At the start of the game, Mario and Luigi are invited there to celebrate the Origami Festival. Inside, Peach's appearance and behavior towards Mario is different, having been transformed into origami by [[King Olly]]. When he refuses to be turned into origami as well, Peach sends him down a pit through a trap door hidden in the castle's sun rug. In the aftermath, the castle is overtaken by five colored [[streamer]]s, lifted into the sky, and placed on top of a mountain as Olly takes over the Mushroom Kingdom. After destroying all of the streamers, Mario, Bowser, and [[Olivia]] gain access to the castle, although upon entering, the entire castle is transformed into [[Origami Castle]], which serves as the final area of the game. After King Olly is defeated and Olivia wishes to the 1,000 cranes for all his damage to be undone, Peach's Castle returns to its original form and its original spot.
 
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.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', the castle 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]]. Mario's battle with Bowser takes place inside Princess Peach's throne room, but the castle interior cannot be explored.

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 the sequel to ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', ''[[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|Time Holes]] leading into the past in the entire game.

There are many items and [[coin]]s and the castle is home to the only shop in the game (except for the [[Monty Mole]] store and the one in [[Toad Town]]). There are 2 bosses the player fights in there, one against [[Junior Shrooboid]] and the other the last boss in the game; [[Shrowser]]. Goombas can also be fought in the basement area.

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]]''.


=====Area maps=====
The game begins at the castle, with [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] traveling through the main interior to the [[Conference Hall|meeting room]]. The meeting is about the [[Blorbs]] that have infected much of the Mushroom Kingdom. The meeting is soon canceled as Bowser comes into the meeting, angered by the fact that they don't believe he is there to solve the unknown disease. After Mario defeats him, Peach and [[Starlow]] send him out of the castle. Later on, Bowser now under the effects of the vacuum shroom enters the meeting room as everyone leaves, inhaling everyone in the room. Bowser then ends up knocking out, and [[Fawful]] appears, sending him out of the castle yet again.

File:CastlePresentFloor1Map.png|<center>Princess Peach's Castle First floor
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.

The meeting is about the [[Blorbs]] that have infected much of the Mushroom Kindgom.

Bowser then ends up knocking out, and [[Fawful]] appears, sending him out of the castle yet again.

It is seen later again, yet blocked off by Fawful using the [[Dark Star]] power. He has now taken over the castle, serving it as his chamber to reviving the Dark Star. Once Mario and Luigi combine the [[Star Cure]]s into the [[Miracle Cure]], they are able to bring down the barriers and enter the castle. They have to travel through [[Peach's Castle Garden]] and fight [[Junker]] before they find Bowser all sore. There is a pipe that leads to him in the gardens.
 
Once the Mario Bros heal Bowser, the great beast is now about to explore deep into the castle walls using his new ball roll. He finds that Fawful has made a trial for Bowser, leaving three keys to three of his hovering bots that hold the whereabouts of either treasures or the way out. After a long chase and crushing the bots, Bowser makes his way through the next area where Fawful has giant Piranha Plants growing. Once weeding the humongous plants, he moves on to the room that Fawful, Midbus, the Dark Star, and Princess Peach reside in.
[[Fawful]] allows Midbus to fight against Bowser, giving him an icy powerup to make him [[Blizzard Midbus]]. Yet Bowser proves himself the stronger beast, defeating and freezing Midbus in place. But it is too late for the main goal of rescuing the princess as the Dark Star is fully revived. Fawful is able to take some of the energy from the Dark Star and becomes [[Dark Fawful]]  but before he is fully done Bowser punches him out of the room. The Dark Star enters [[Bowser's Body]], entering from the mouth while Bowser chuckled at the pleasure of punching Dark Fawful.Once the Mario Bros defeat the weakened Dark Star, it escapes out of Bowser's Body, in a phantasm form of Bowser (as a result of Bowser's DNA). Bowser chases the ghost out into the Castle Courtyard, where the entire castle comes to life. The massive fortress transformed into a [[Super Peach's Castle|battling machine]] by Dark Fawful. Bowser must become giant for the last time in order to defeat the castle. After a deadly battle, the Castle is defeated, and Bowser shrinks back to normal size.Heading back into the meeting room, Bowser finds [[Dark Fawful]] searching for the Dark Star, and attacks him. Once Bowser damages Dark Fawful beyond limits, Dark Fawful transforms into a bug-like stage, crawling out of the room. Outside the room, The Dark Star and Dark Fawful merge together to become the stable [[Dark Bowser]] duo. After Dark Bowser escapes through a hidden passage behind the throne, he and Bowser engage in a spike ball battle up the central tower with Bowser being the victor. Following Dark Bowser, Bowser ends up on the final battle arena. In the arena, Dark Bowser releases a hurricane of Dark smoke that covers the entire Mushroom Kingdom. He explains how he is going to rule over the pathetic land, and that there is nothing standing in his way. Bowser then laughs at his words, stating that this is HIS land, and that he can't win. They then begin the final Battle; Bowser versus Dark Bowser and Mario Bros versus [[Dark Star Core]]. After a long battle, the Mario Bros defeat the Dark Star Core, allowing Bowser to finally give the final blow to the now unstable Dark Bowser. The Mushroom Kingdom returns to normal, except the fact that Fawful is still alive. After a quick speech, Fawful explodes in order to kill the Mario Bros. Yet it backfires as it sends all that were trapped in [[Bowser's Body]] out into the Mushroom Kingdom. Everyone celebrates at making it out, except for the confused Bowser, just now finding out that Mario and Luigi were in his body the entire time. After learning who Chippy was, he reached his last straw, making a final battle with the Mario Bros leading into the cutscenes in the end credits.

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
Peach's Castle returns as one of the Mario series boards in the sequel to ''Itadaki Street'', ''[[Fortune Street]]'' for the [[Wii]]. The board is slightly changed in terms of structure from its original appearance in the previous game. In the ''Easy'' version of the game, the board looks like a the letter P with and extra line in the  middle of the loop of the P with an extra line next to the stem which is connected by a space at the bottom and the top. In the ''Standard'' version of the game, the board looks like a short, wide rectangle with a tall square in the middle of the rectangle. In ''Tour'' mode, the player has to play against Peach, Wario, and Bowser while coming in first or second to beat the board. Beating this board unlocks Peach as a playable character. The Standard mode version of the board was actually in former releases of the Itadaki Street series.
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.

{{main|Peach's Castle (court)}}
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 most games, the castle is normally gray marble, but in some games, it is white and even a light cream (''[[Super Princess Peach]]''). Since 1996, it has kept its original highest tower emerging from a wider circular tower underneath - both always in the center of the castle. Normally, the main feature of the castle is a rectangular or square shape, with nearly always four towers supporting this part. The roof is nearly always a shade of red or pink, but in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', it was a pale orange. A window is usually present at the front of the palace. There is an image of [[Princess Peach]] embedded, painted or carved onto the window. In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', this was the part of the castle Princess Peach was concealed in and is only released when Bowser is defeated.
 
[[File:Overhead shot of castle grounds SMG.png|200px|left|thumb|The castle grounds in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
In ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the castle is a huge palace with many rooms and secrets. Despite having many rooms, there are no regular "living" rooms, such as a bedroom or kitchen, and the rooms simply have a large painting in them. The castle also has a slightly flooded basement. The castle grounds were also spacious, featuring plenty of trees, flowers and a cannon leading to the rooftop. A moat surrounds the castle, which eventually leads into a small pond. In this game, the castle is reached via [[Warp Pipe]]. There is a courtyard located behind the castle, and the Star Fountain, which features a star statue on top. Depending on the amount of stars Mario has, it can be seen infested with [[Boo]]s. ''Super Mario 64 DS'' also features a [[Rec Room]], implied in dialogue to be where [[Princess Peach]] played when she was a child.
 
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the castle has a great number of rooms, including a library, bedroom and several storage rooms, while the lobby is connected to the ballroom. The castle grounds are also much smaller, with a simple fountain and one or two trees outside the castle. No moat is present and the surrounding grounds are smaller in scale, and the castle has no warp pipe leading to it, as it can easily be reached from [[Toad Town]].
 
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the present-day iteration of the castle features several "living" rooms, in addition to a bridge on the second floor. Its past iteration also features a more faded coloration, and while [[Shroob Castle|taken over]] by the [[Shroob]]s most of its architecture is altered to feature rooftops resembling [[Shroob mushroom]]s and a more purple-pink coloration.
 
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the castle features a conference room, seen in the intro. The castle was eventually taken over by [[Fawful]] and served as the final area in the game. The castle had an additional story, which would be also reused in the intro cutscene for ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. In the [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|3DS remake]], the castle has been completely transformed inside and out, and is much darker with more Fawful motifs, such as the dome he fought in from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', which makes a few appearances, notably in the entry of the castle. The windows are blocked off, and machinery is in clear view built into the castle, inside and outside, foreshadowing the giant battle with Bowser. The brickwork surrounding the castle is also now metallic, and the stained-glass portraits of Princess Peach now have Fawful's face on them.
 
[[File:SMG Unknown Floating Object.png|200px|thumb|left|The castle as it is lifted into space in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the castle is now more detailed, having a balcony and several windows. The castle still has the body of water connected to it, but is now close to a nearby town. A more detailed top tower can be seen on the castle when playing in the [[Star Festival]]. The [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|sequel]] also features flower vases on the castle grounds.
 
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the castle has fewer windows and no moat surrounding it. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', the castle has an additional story and two more towers on the sides of its central tower. While [[Peach's Castle (world)|taken over]] by Bowser, the castle's pink flags depicting Peach are replaced with that of Bowser's, the surrounding moat is filled with lava, and a circular castle wall surrounds the area.


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.

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', the castle was largely similar in design to in ''Super Mario 64'', although it possessed a flagpole on top, as well as a balcony. In addition, the turrets surrounding the castle are now shown to be hanging over rather than directly connected to the moat. In addition, the brochure for the kingdom in that game revealed that the reason it had a stained glass image of Peach near the top of the castle was as a form of comfort for the inhabitants of the kingdom, as Peach sometimes was absent from the kingdom, either due to Bowser abducting her or simply leaving on her own accord. In addition, aside from the turrets of the main castle, there were also additional turrets that were originally watchtowers, but were converted into art storage depots that contained magical paintings.


===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the castle largely had the same design as ''Super Mario 64'', although the central turret had part of the top removed, and also featured platforms. The castle is also much smaller in size compared to Mario and Yoshi.

In ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'', the castle is located on top of a mountain overlooking the entire Mushroom Kingdom.

[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Moatless Grounds Map.png|frame|The Castle Grounds with the moat drained]]
The Castle Grounds is where the player begins the game. A sealed [[cannon]] is found near the lake to the right. After obtaining all 120 [[Power Star]]s (150 in the remake), the cannon will open and the player will be able to launch themselves to the top of the castle Roof, where the player will find [[Yoshi]], who will give Mario 100 [[Extra Life|extra lives]], and an enhanced [[Triple Jump]]. Also up there is a [[Exclamation Block|! Box]] holding a [[Wing Cap]]. In the DS version, this was removed (as Yoshi is a playable character), but Luigi's final [[rabbit]] can be found on the castle roof, as well as a [[Question Block|? block]] holding a Power Flower (or a Wing Cap if the player uses Mario). The roof in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' features a small fence around the area where the three mushrooms 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 a special technique all of the characters have to get to the roof without even using the cannon. Stomping on the two columns in the basement will drain the moat, which allow the player to enter the [[Vanish Cap Under the Moat]] (or The Secret Under the Moat in the remake). There is also a waterfall which acts as the exit of [[Cavern of the Metal Cap]] (or Behind the Waterfall in the remake). A moat surrounds the castle, which is able to be drained during gameplay.

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 will find [[Toad]], who will say to go to the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] portrait, the only course that has not been sealed by [[Bowser]] at the time. There is also a locked door which leads to the second floor, which requires a key to unlock it. There is also 2 wooden doors, which both lead to the [[Boo]]-infested hallway, Courtyard and the stairs to the Basement. A door to the right of the main room will lead to the princess' room which hides [[The Princess's Secret Slide]]. A door nearby leads to the castle's [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]] (only on the DS version). The [[Star Door]] to the left of the main room 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 will turn 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 will send the player to the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] (or ? Switch in the remake) when they look into 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]].

After unlocking the door on the first floor, ascending a set of spiral stairs will lead the player to the second floor of the castle. It is a round shaped room with portraits adorning all areas of the wall. A set of stairs will lead to yet another Star Door, and ultimately the third floor. There are two doors found opposite each other on the outside wall. The first leads to a room which contains several portraits leading to [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. The other contains a mirror which runs through the center of the room. The player can become [[Vanish Luigi]] to pass through the mirror in the remade game.

The third floor consists of a small, round room with a [[Tick Tock Clock|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 will warp the player to [[Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]] (named Over the Rainbows in the remake), and the one on the right will warp the player to [[Rainbow Ride]]. Above the door of the third floor is yet another Star Door, where a staircase will lead 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.

====Basement====
[[File:SM64DS-Castle_Basement_Map.PNG|frame|left|The castle basement.]]
[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Basement Map.png|frame|left|The castle basement]]
The basement is the lowest area of Princess Peach's Castle, as it is just below ground level. It can be entered through the set of stairs which descend down 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-most of the castle basement is initially completely flooded with water from the castle moat. However, the moat is able to be drained by [[Ground Pound]]ing two pillars. Having done so, the water will drain and a door which was previously inaccessible leads to the castle grounds.

After the water is drained, a 1-UP Mushroom can be spawned by touching the four corners of the tunnel area.

==Description and Location==
==Profiles and statistics==
[[File:Castlepeachsprite.jpg|200px|thumb|The castle in ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour''.]]
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
In the majority of games, the castle is normally grey marble, but sometimes it was noted white and even a light cream (''[[Super Princess Peach]]''). Since 1996 it has kept its original highest tower emerging from a wider circular tower underneath - both always in the center of the castle. Normally the main feature of the castle is a rectangular or square shape, with nearly always four towers supporting this part. The roof is nearly always a shade of red, but in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' it was a shade of yellow.

A window is usually present at the front of the palace. There is an image of [[Princess Peach]] embedded, painted or carved onto the window. In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', this was the part of the castle Princess Peach was concealed and only the power of the star Bowser had captured for himself at the end could release her.

=====Treasure Boxes=====
In ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the castle is a huge palace with many rooms and secrets. Despite having a high amount of rooms, there were no regular "living" rooms, such as a bedroom or kitchen. Most of the rooms simply had a large painting in it. The castle also had a basement, the floor of which was oddly coated with water. However, this could likely be all due to Bowser's reign on the castle. The castle grounds were also quite spacious in this game. Plenty of trees can be viewed and climbed up, and the land itself is quite large. A body of water surrounds the castle, which eventually leads into a small pond. In this game, the castle is reached via [[Warp Pipe]].

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the castle differs radically from its 64 counterpart. The palace is still large and has a great number of rooms, but each room has some kind of purpose (there is a library, a bedroom, and many storage rooms), and the lobby is connected to the ballroom. The castle grounds are also much smaller, with a simple fountain and one or two trees outside the castle. Much of the castle's surrounding land was lifted into the air with Bowser's castle, which may explain the seemingly shrunken land; however, even when Mario finally reaches the castle to confront Bowser, no moat can be seen. The castle has no warp pipe leading to it, as it can easily be reached from [[Toad Town]].

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.

===''Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the palace was again, like ''Paper Mario'', big and had actual "living" rooms. This castle however was different from the Mario 64 and Paper Mario versions and the garden looked very different (there were no trees either).

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', there was a courtyard located behind the castle but it was not visible from the front or roof of the castle in the main gardens. However, the main part of the castle could be seen from the courtyard. The courtyard introduced the magic and mystery of Peach's Castle that the Power Stars seemed to have control over. The courtyard in both the original Super Mario 64 and in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake was infested with Boos. Big Boo's Haunt and another secret level were hidden in here.

Differing from the castle in ''Super Mario 64'', in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the castle now has a balcony and several windows. The castle still has the body of water connected to it, but is now right outside Toad Town. Also different from the older version, this castle's outside is more detailed.
====Area Tattles====
*"''This is Peach's Castle. But we just came out of Bowser's Castle! I've got a funny feeling about this... I wonder where Princess Peach is being held captive. I think we should brace ourselves, Mario.''"
*"''This is the first floor hall of Princess Peach's Castle. There are so many doors, though. Where on earth can Princess Peach be?''"
*"''Boy, what happened here? This is even messier than my room back home! It looks like nobody ever puts anything away in here.''"
*"''That's a pretty huge drawer over there. I bet a person could fit inside! If they wanted to, that is... Hey, there's a bed, too! This must be a guest room.''"
*"''It's a kitchen. I'm just guessing, but I bet this is where they make the meals. The castle's head chef probably cooks all the meals, don't you think? I wonder what kinds of savory dishes he knows how to make. Hey, Mario, have you ever eaten here?''"
*"''This is the second floor hall of Princess Peach's Castle. There are so many doors, though. Where on earth can Princess Peach be?''"
*"''This is just an ordinary room. Do you smell something, though? What a strange odor...''"
*"''Wow! So many books. If we weren't in the middle of such an adventure, I'd love to read some of these.''"
*"''It's a dining room. It looks like somebody has eaten here recently. Probably not the Princess-- they're probably starving her! People always say that the meals served here are delectable. I'd love to eat here sometime.''"
*"''This looks like a storeroom. ...! Hey! Check out that box! Let's see what's in it.''"
*"''Wow! This is Princess Peach's room, isn't it? It smells great in here! It's such a cheerful room, just like Princess Peach. I can't believe she was locked up in here for so long, all by herself. She must've been so lonely... We've got to rescue her, right now!!''"
*"''This balcony has a great view. I'm betting that this is one of the princess's favorite places.''"
*"''It's a covered hallway in Peach's Castle, Mario. Let's find Bowser and save Princess Peach!''"
*"''We have to help Princess Peach!! Mario! Hurry up! Let's move!''"
*"''Bowser's gone upstairs. C'mon, we have to follow him! Mario, let's roll!''"
*"''We have to save the princess! Hurry up! Mario! There's no time to waste!''"
*"''It's a castle tower. These long spiral stairs go up and up and around and around. Oog...I feel dizzy.''"
*"''Huh? Where in the world did Bowser just disappear to?''"


Also in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the cut-scenes show a more detailed top tower than when playing as Mario in the Star Festival.
====Map descriptions====
=====On the ground=====
*''Princess Peach's Castle used to be right here, on this very spot. But then the evil King Bowser uprooted the castle-- and kidnapped Princess Peach. Only a big hole is left here now.''
*''This castle is where our beloved Princess Peach lives. That evil King Bowser once stole the castle... But now it's back, and it's as beautiful as ever.''


In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' the castle was controlled by [[Fawful]] and was planned to use it against Bowser when he would arrive, Bowser then defeated the castle in the devastating battle.
=====In the sky=====
*''Princess Peach's Castle now rests atop Bowser's Castle. Peach, the princess in peril, is being held inside.''
*''Princess Peach's Castle was once here atop Bowser's Castle. But now it's gone.''


In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the castle has less windows, no moat, has more detail than its DS predecessor, and looks more remote than ''Super Mario 64/DS'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

}}


In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the castle looks like the castle from ''Super Mario Galaxy''. The balcony from ''Galaxy'' seems to be missing, however and there are now several vases full of flowers on the grounds. During the invasion of Bowser, several meteors hit the grounds, blocking off the east half of the grounds.

==More Castles==
===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''===
Peach appears to have more than one castle. A completely different one in seen in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. It stands on a gigantic and poorly structured rock out in the sea. This castle is also visible from Koopa Beach. The castles of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', are also said to be in the Mushroom Kingdom and invaded by Bowser. The Princess' home in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' is known as the ''Mushroom Castle'' rather than Princess Peach's Castle, and has a radically different design.

*''This is Peach's Castle. But we just came out of Bowser's Castle! I've got a funny feeling about this... I wonder where Princess Peach is being held captive. I think we should brace ourselves, Mario.
*''This is the first floor hall of Princess Peach's Castle. There are so many doors, though. Where on earth can Princess Peach be?
*'' Boy, what happened here? This is even messier than my room back home! It looks like nobody ever puts anything away in here.
*''That's a pretty huge drawer over there. I bet a person could fit inside! If they wanted to, that is... Hey, there's a bed, too! This must be a guest room.
*''It's a kitchen. I'm just guessing, but I bet this is where they make the meals. The castle's head chef probably cooks all the meals, don't you think? I wonder what kinds of savory dishes he knows how to make. Hey, Mario, have you ever eaten here?
*''This is the second floor hall of Princess Peach's Castle. There are so many doors, though. Where on earth can Princess Peach be?
*''This is just an ordinary room. Do you smell something, though? What a strange odor...
*''Wow! So many books. If we weren't in the middle of such an adventure, I'd love to read some of these.
*''It's a dining room. It looks like somebody has eaten here recently. Probably not the Princess-- they're probably starving her! People always say that the meals served here are delectable. I'd love to eat here sometime.
*''This looks like a storeroom. ...! Hey! Check out that box! Let's see what's in it.
*''Wow! This is Princess Peach's room, isn't it? It smells great in here! It's such a cheerful room, just like Princess Peach. I can't believe she was locked up in here for so long, all by herself. She must've been so lonely... We've got to rescue her, right now!!
*''This balcony has a great view. I'm betting that this is one of the princess's favorite places.
*''It's a covered hallway in Peach's Castle, Mario. Let's find Bowser and save Princess Peach!
*''We have to help Princess Peach!! Mario! Hurry up! Let's move!
*''Bowser's gone upstairs. C'mon, we have to follow him! Mario, let's roll!
*''We have to save the princess! Hurry up! Mario! There's no time to waste!
*''It's a castle tower. These long spiral stairs go up and up and around and around. Oog...I feel dizzy.
*''Huh? Where in the world did Bowser just disappear to?

Peach's Castle (alternatively Peach's castle), also known as Princess Peach's Castle (alternatively Princess Peach's castle) or the Mushroom Castle,[1][2][3] is the castle situated within the Mushroom Kingdom and its most prominent landmark. It is home to Princess Peach as well as many Toads, 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.

Peach sometimes has a castle different from her usual one. At the Peach Field in Mario Hoops 3-on-3, there is a castle that stands on a gigantic and poorly structured rock out in the sea, and it is visible from Koopa Beach. The castles of Super Mario Bros. and its sequel, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, are also said to be in the Mushroom Kingdom and invaded by Bowser.

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen![edit]

Peach's Castle
Peach's Castle as seen in Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!

Peach's Castle is first depicted in the anime film Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen! In the film, Bowser conquers the Mushroom Kingdom in response to Princess Peach turning down his marriage proposal, resulting in him kidnapping Peach and taking over her castle. While under his control, the castle is situated on a tall mountaintop and includes catacombs full of traps, including a Fire Bar and a pit full of lava and Lava Bubbles. The castle is destroyed when Luigi accidentally floods the lava pit while mining for coins, but it is restored to its original form after Bowser's defeat breaks his spell over the kingdom. The design of the restored castle would set a precedent for later depictions, being a traditional European castle with white brickwork and large pink spires and flagpoles atop each tower.

DIC cartoons[edit]

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

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 Plumber's Log.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Peach's Castle
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."

Super Mario (Kodansha manga)[edit]

The castle, flooded

In Kodansha's Super Mario manga, the castle appears at the start of the Super Mario Kart adaptation. The king asks Mario and Luigi to fix its flooding problem.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Peach's Castle has appeared a few times in Super Mario-kun. In volume 6, after the ending of the Super Mario World arc, Bowser's Castle is taken over by Peach.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

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 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 huge sword pierced Bowser's Keep. Soon, after returning from Mushroom Way, Mario and Mallow find Shymores 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 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 Aran makes a cameo resting in the castle's guest room.

It has the same role in the 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.

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Mushroom Castle
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 paintings (some of which can be jumped 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 all of the Power Stars in the game, the cannon in the Castle Grounds is unlocked, granting access to three 1-UP Mushrooms and Yoshi (or one of Luigi's rabbits in the DS version) on the roof.

In the original version, five secret Power Stars are obtained around the Mushroom Castle itself. Three are each obtained by talking to certain Toads around the castle. The other two are obtained by catching MIPS around the castle. In Super Mario 64 DS, the Power Stars from MIPS are no longer obtainable, which means only three Power Stars returned in the remake. Three Power Stars were introduced in the remake, which makes a total of six Power Stars that can be obtained at the Mushroom Castle:

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

The castle shown in the intro of New Super Mario Bros.

The castle reappears in New Super Mario Bros. where it is struck by lightning in the beginning (as a diversion while Peach is kidnapped) and can be seen in World 1-1. Since this game, the New Super Mario Bros. series has had a running theme of having Peach's Castle visible in the background of the first level of each game.

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

This image is sent to the Wii Message Board after Luigi collects 121 Power Stars. The castle can be seen in the background.
Peach's Castle as it appears during the Star Festival in Super Mario Galaxy.

The castle reappears in Super Mario Galaxy, keeping its design from Super Mario 64. A town adjacent to it and a road leading there are considered a part of the castle grounds, named Castle Gardens in the game. In the beginning of the game, Peach invites Mario to the castle for the Star Festival. When he gets there, Bowser lifts the castle into space and kidnaps Peach. At the end of the game, Rosalina flies Mario to the castle so that he can battle Bowser. When Bowser is defeated, the castle is sucked into his black hole, but it is expelled and returned to its original location in the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario (or Luigi) can access the castle grounds when they go to the Grand Finale Galaxy after the player collects 120 Power Stars with both characters.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

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 Suits and Propeller Mushrooms 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 Coins to a Toad who resides in the castle. Once again, it can be seen in the background at the start of World 1-1.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Peach's Castle in the intro of Super Mario Galaxy 2
Peach's Castle as seen in the beginning of Super Mario Galaxy 2.

The castle appears very briefly in the opening of Super Mario Galaxy 2. After Mario arrives, he finds it under attack by Bowser, who gloats at Mario and flies away with Princess Peach. Mario then meets two Lumas on the bridge over the moat, one of which turns into a Launch Star and sends him to Sky Station Galaxy. The castle also appears at the end of the credits where Mario and friends have a party for saving the galaxy.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

In Super Mario 3D Land, if the player waits for a while on the title screen without pressing A Button, they can enter Peach's Castle. There are five Toads here, and Mario can practice his moves in the castle. The place where the red Toad stands is inaccessible, as it is sticking up, which can be seen while stepping behind the tower or by switching to 3-D. The castle can also be seen in the opening and ending cutscenes of the game. Like in the New Super Mario Bros. series, the castle also appears in the background of World 1-1, alongside the Tail Tree.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Mario near Peach's Castle in World 1

Like in New Super Mario Bros., Peach's Castle makes a cameo in New Super Mario Bros. 2 in the opening and in the background of World 1-1. It has the same appearance as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. As in New Super Mario Bros., however, it cannot be entered. It also appears in the hidden area of Course 3 of the Gold Classics Pack.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Main article: Peach's Castle (world)

Peach's Castle in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe appears to be in the same location as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and can again be seen in the background at the end of Acorn Plains-1. However, this iteration has a large moat surrounding the castle (as in Super Mario 64 and other games), an extra floor, as well as two towers on either side of the central tower. In the games' openings, Bowser and the Koopalings kidnap Princess Peach and take hostage over her at her own castle, which is the final area of the main game. Bowser and Bowser Jr. await the player at The Final Battle, which takes place at the top floor of the castle.

Super Mario 3D World[edit]

In Super Mario 3D World, the castle is briefly seen in the opening cutscene as the protagonists (Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad) take a walk on a starry night full of fireworks and meteors. The castle appears to have its design from Super Mario 3D Land this time around, but the main doors now have a rounded shape, and are blue with three spots, resembling a mushroom, and the grounds surrounding it are blocked by grassy hills.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

In Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, Peach's Castle can be seen in the background of the Ground theme in the New Super Mario Bros. U game style, which is based on Acorn Plains Way.

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[5] in much the same way the Mushroom Kingdom is called "your kingdom" and "the kingdom".

If the player gathers enough Toads through the Toad Rally mode, the castle will level up[5], 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, Peach returns to the castle and can be seen standing in front of it. If the player has at least 50000 Toads, Peach's Tent can be purchased from the Shop in Kingdom Builder. The Tent's description reveals that it was put into storage.

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

Peach's Castle
Peach's Castle in Super Mario Odyssey

Peach's Castle appears in Super Mario Odyssey. It can be glimpsed in the opening cutscene, but it, like the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom, can only be visited after completing the game. Its design is heavily based on its appearance in Super Mario 64, and features some references to that game.

The roof of the castle can be accessed by throwing Cappy onto a nearby Scarecrow, which creates a temporary set of stairs. Yoshi can be found on top of the roof like in Super Mario 64, albeit encased in a Yoshi Egg; breaking the egg will release Yoshi and allow him to be captured. A Power Moon can be found on one of the castle's towers.

Behind the castle is a small ledge where Goombette can be found, and in the castle's moat is a Warp Pipe blocked off by a fruit. They can both be accessed by draining the moat, which is done by removing the four poles located underwater; this will also play the "puzzle solved" tune from Super Mario 64. The Warp Pipe takes Mario to a painting of the Ruined Dragon, allowing him to rematch the boss.

The castle's interior is heavily based on the main room of the first floor of the castle from Super Mario 64, complete with a rearrangement of "Inside the Castle Walls" as the background music. Toadette can be found inside the castle, and will give Mario Power Moons in exchange for accomplishing certain achievements. Two Power Moons can also be found there, one of which is collected by standing on the sun rug at the center and looking at the ceiling, which is a reference to how the Tower of the Wing Cap is entered in Super Mario 64. Three regional coins can be collected behind Peach's throne, and the kingdom's Hint Art can also be found inside the castle. Like in the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom, the Power Moons obtained in the castle have the appearance of Power Stars, and play the corresponding jingle from Super Mario 64 when collected.

After Peach and Tiara are rescued, they travel the world on their own. If Mario returns to any of the kingdoms (excluding the Dark and Darker Sides), he is able to find them in certain areas. Upon returning to the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach and Tiara are located on the castle's balcony.

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.[6]

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

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.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart 64[edit]

The castle first appears in Mario Kart 64 in the track Royal Raceway. It has the exact same design as in Super Mario 64. Players have a choice to explore the grounds if they wish, but they cannot enter the castle itself. The Award Ceremony also takes place at the castle where the top three racers will drive there to celebrate after winning.

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

In Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Peach's Castle appears in the background of Peach Circuit, Mario Circuit 1, Mario Circuit 4, and 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 key artworkMedia:Marioglobe.png 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 atop Bowser's Castle, just like in Paper Mario.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

The castle appears in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! twice: once on Mario Circuit, and again in the background on Mushroom Bridge in Grand Prix mode, just before the first tunnel. In Mario Circuit, the castle is completely cut off from the road and separated from the track by walls. Also, in Mushroom Bridge the castle can be spotted vaguely obscured by fog in the background. This castle is very cartoon-like compared to its other appearances.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

In Mario Kart DS, the castle reappears once more in its iteration of 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 GBA Peach Circuit. A country estate with a similar design appears in Peach Gardens. Because the bridge is blocked by a gate, unlike Mario Kart 64, the player cannot drive up to the castle's entrance.

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

Mario Circuit in Mario Kart Wii

Peach's Castle appears yet again in Mario Kart Wii, once again on Mario Circuit. Like in Super Mario Galaxy, there is a small town near it. Shy Guys and Hammer Bros. watch the race as they sit on the fences surrounding the castle and houses. The typical Mushroom Kingdom hills can be seen in the background along with a rainbow. Yellow sunflowers are neatly placed along the grasses of the track and a hot-air balloon labeled "MARIO" floats and travels over the grounds. It also appears in GCN Mario Circuit and GBA Battle Course 3.

Mario Kart 7[edit]

Peach's Castle appears in Mario Circuit from the game, Mario Kart 7, and it is the first time the player is allowed to drive through the castle.

Mario Kart Arcade GP DX[edit]

Main article: Peach Castle (arcade)

Peach's Castle reappears as a course in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX simply titled "Peach Castle". Players are once again able to drive inside the castle, although it is much larger in scale than in Mario Kart 7, and it features pieces of character artwork that pop out of boxes in the background similar to jack-in-the-boxes.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Peach's Castle as it appears in Mario Kart 8's N64 Royal Raceway.

In Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, yet another Mario Circuit is built around Peach's Castle. The castle appears to be in a different location from its previous appearances and is on a large hill in the center of the track.

It also appears in N64 Royal Raceway with an updated design, with the area around it changed. Furthermore, the entrance to it has been blocked. Thus, racers can no longer explore the area around the castle.

In the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the castle appears in DS Mario Circuit, retaining its design from Mario Kart Tour.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

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.

Game & Watch Gallery series[edit]

In the Modern version of Fire in Game & Watch Gallery and Game & Watch Gallery 4, the main setting is a burning castle that presumably belonged to Peach, with Mario and Luigi needing to evacuate Toads, Yoshis, and Donkey Kong Jrs. into a nearby Mushroom carriage. In the Modern version of Chef in the latter game, after the player reaches 200 points, the background transitions to a castle garden that presumably belonged to Peach.

Wrecking Crew '98[edit]

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.

Mario Golf series[edit]

Peach Gardens (golf course)
The castle in Mario Golf: World Tour.

Many golf courses in the 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, as the title of the Peach's Castle golf course, but the place itself does not appear. The Game Boy Color version of Mario Golf has its own 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.

Mario Party series[edit]

In the 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 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 Stars. 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 Stars 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.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

Peach's Castle before being uprooted in Paper Mario.
Peach's Castle stands atop Bowser's Castle during the events of Paper Mario.

The castle was once again taken over by the 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 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 Shooting Star Summit in the prologue, 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 Koopatrols and Hammer Bros, Gourmet Guy, the 64th Trivia Quiz-Off, etc.

In the end, Mario, Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, Parakarry, Lady Bow, Watt, Sushie, and Lakilester (with the help of the Star Spirits) fly to Bowser's Castle and make their way up to Peach's Castle. The team finally confronts Bowser and Kammy Koopa on the roof of the castle, and defeat both of the villains, sending them flying off the castle and returning it to its rightful place in Toad Town.

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.

At the beginning of the game, where Mario explores the castle to find Peach, there is a Toad soldier guarding the princess's room. If Mario talks to him enough times, he will become annoyed and let Mario explore the room (however, he insists that he not touch anything). There is also a guest room turned Toad House later in the game, which is also the last Toad House in the game.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

Peach's Castle in Paper Mario: The Origami King
Peach's Castle as it appears in Paper Mario: The Origami King.

In Paper Mario: The Origami King, Peach's Castle makes its second appearance in the series (not counting a mention in Super Paper Mario), complete with a similar-looking interior. Its exterior, however, seems to take some cues from New Super Mario Bros. U, sporting a wide moat and a turret-laden wall around it; the latter of which is explored by Mario at the beginning of the game.

At the start of the game, Mario and Luigi are invited there to celebrate the Origami Festival. Inside, Peach's appearance and behavior towards Mario is different, having been transformed into origami by King Olly. When he refuses to be turned into origami as well, Peach sends him down a pit through a trap door hidden in the castle's sun rug. In the aftermath, the castle is overtaken by five colored streamers, lifted into the sky, and placed on top of a mountain as Olly takes over the Mushroom Kingdom. After destroying all of the streamers, Mario, Bowser, and Olivia gain access to the castle, although upon entering, the entire castle is transformed into Origami Castle, which serves as the final area of the game. After King Olly is defeated and Olivia wishes to the 1,000 cranes for all his damage to be undone, Peach's Castle returns to its original form and its original spot.

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.

Mario & Luigi series[edit]

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

Princess Peach's Castle in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
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,[7] 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 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 holes leading into the past in the entire game.

There are many items and coins 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.

In the past, the castle has been taken over by the Shroobs, who turned it into Shroob Castle, the final dungeon in the game.

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.

The game begins at the castle, with Mario and Luigi traveling through the main interior to the meeting room. The meeting is about the Blorbs that have infected much of the Mushroom Kingdom. The meeting is soon canceled as Bowser comes into the meeting, angered by the fact that they don't believe he is there to solve the unknown disease. After Mario defeats him, Peach and Starlow send him out of the castle. Later on, Bowser now under the effects of the vacuum shroom enters the meeting room as everyone leaves, inhaling everyone in the room. Bowser then ends up knocking out, and Fawful appears, sending him out of the castle yet again.

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 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 beans. 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.

The castle makes a brief cameo in the opening of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, as it is the place where the invitation to Pi'illo Island is given.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]

The castle as seen in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam

The castle makes an appearance as the starting location in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. It is also the place where Luigi knocks down the book off a bookshelf in the cellar of the castle containing the Paper Mario world. Peach's Castle also includes an Item Shop, a Gear Shop, and later unlocked in the game, a Battle Card Shop. Eventually, the castle gets wrecked by Neo Bowser Castle with cannonballs, leaving the castle in ruins.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership[edit]

This section is referring to a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting.
This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.

In Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Peach's Castle makes a brief appearance in the background of the opening cutscene where a swarm of bees chases Luigi in a forest. When the vortex leading to Concordia is opened up, Peach and the other Toads are sucked into it, as are Bowser and his airship, who are also in the vicinity.[8]

Mario vs. Donkey Kong series[edit]

Peach's Castle is a recurring background feature in the 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 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.

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

Peach's Castle made a small cameo in the intro. When the Toadies are kidnapping babies, Baby Peach is taken from her castle, along with Baby Mario and Baby DK from their respective houses. It is later seen in the credits when the stork takes her back.

Super Princess Peach[edit]

Peach's Castle in Super Princess Peach.

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.

Fortune Street series[edit]

Main article: Peach's Castle (board)

Peach's Castle also appears as a game board in both Itadaki Street DS and Fortune Street.

Mario & Sonic series[edit]

Peach's Castle only makes background appearances in a few of the Mario & Sonic games. In the Wii version of 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.

Mario Sports Mix[edit]

Main article: Peach's Castle (court)

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.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]

The castle also appears in the ending of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, where it fulfills the same purpose as in Super Mario 3D World, appearing in the background as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad are walking.

Mario + Rabbids series[edit]

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]

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.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope[edit]

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 cannot return here, rendering stone spirals and coins not found here missable. Peach’s Castle is also seen at the ending, where Rosalina thanks Mario and his friends for saving her from Cursa.

Layout[edit]

Peach's Castle in Mario Golf: Advance Tour.
The castle in Mario Golf: Advance Tour

In most games, the castle is normally gray marble, but in some games, it is white and even a light cream (Super Princess Peach). Since 1996, it has kept its original highest tower emerging from a wider circular tower underneath - both always in the center of the castle. Normally, the main feature of the castle is a rectangular or square shape, with nearly always four towers supporting this part. The roof is nearly always a shade of red or pink, but in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, it was a pale orange. A window is usually present at the front of the palace. There is an image of Princess Peach embedded, painted or carved onto the window. In Super Mario 64, this was the part of the castle Princess Peach was concealed in and is only released when Bowser is defeated.

The castle grounds in Super Mario Galaxy

In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, the castle is a huge palace with many rooms and secrets. Despite having many rooms, there are no regular "living" rooms, such as a bedroom or kitchen, and the rooms simply have a large painting in them. The castle also has a slightly flooded basement. The castle grounds were also spacious, featuring plenty of trees, flowers and a cannon leading to the rooftop. A moat surrounds the castle, which eventually leads into a small pond. In this game, the castle is reached via Warp Pipe. There is a courtyard located behind the castle, and the Star Fountain, which features a star statue on top. Depending on the amount of stars Mario has, it can be seen infested with Boos. Super Mario 64 DS also features a Rec Room, implied in dialogue to be where Princess Peach played when she was a child.

In Paper Mario, the castle has a great number of rooms, including a library, bedroom and several storage rooms, while the lobby is connected to the ballroom. The castle grounds are also much smaller, with a simple fountain and one or two trees outside the castle. No moat is present and the surrounding grounds are smaller in scale, and the castle has no warp pipe leading to it, as it can easily be reached from Toad Town.

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, the present-day iteration of the castle features several "living" rooms, in addition to a bridge on the second floor. Its past iteration also features a more faded coloration, and while taken over by the Shroobs most of its architecture is altered to feature rooftops resembling Shroob mushrooms and a more purple-pink coloration.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the castle features a conference room, seen in the intro. The castle was eventually taken over by Fawful and served as the final area in the game. The castle had an additional story, which would be also reused in the intro cutscene for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. In the 3DS remake, the castle has been completely transformed inside and out, and is much darker with more Fawful motifs, such as the dome he fought in from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, which makes a few appearances, notably in the entry of the castle. The windows are blocked off, and machinery is in clear view built into the castle, inside and outside, foreshadowing the giant battle with Bowser. The brickwork surrounding the castle is also now metallic, and the stained-glass portraits of Princess Peach now have Fawful's face on them.

Peach's Castle in Super Mario Galaxy
The castle as it is lifted into space in Super Mario Galaxy

In Super Mario Galaxy, the castle is now more detailed, having a balcony and several windows. The castle still has the body of water connected to it, but is now close to a nearby town. A more detailed top tower can be seen on the castle when playing in the Star Festival. The sequel also features flower vases on the castle grounds.

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the castle has fewer windows and no moat surrounding it. In New Super Mario Bros. U, the castle has an additional story and two more towers on the sides of its central tower. While taken over by Bowser, the castle's pink flags depicting Peach are replaced with that of Bowser's, the surrounding moat is filled with lava, and a circular castle wall surrounds the area.

In Super Mario Odyssey, the castle was largely similar in design to in Super Mario 64, although it possessed a flagpole on top, as well as a balcony. In addition, the turrets surrounding the castle are now shown to be hanging over rather than directly connected to the moat. In addition, the brochure for the kingdom in that game revealed that the reason it had a stained glass image of Peach near the top of the castle was as a form of comfort for the inhabitants of the kingdom, as Peach sometimes was absent from the kingdom, either due to Bowser abducting her or simply leaving on her own accord. In addition, aside from the turrets of the main castle, there were also additional turrets that were originally watchtowers, but were converted into art storage depots that contained magical paintings.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the castle largely had the same design as Super Mario 64, although the central turret had part of the top removed, and also featured platforms. The castle is also much smaller in size compared to Mario and Yoshi.

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the castle is located on top of a mountain overlooking the entire Mushroom Kingdom.

Castle Grounds[edit]

The Castle Grounds with the moat drained

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 Stars (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 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 (or the 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 Mushrooms 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 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-pounds the two brick pillars in the basement. After the moat is drained, the player can enter 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 Cavern of the Metal Cap (renamed Behind the Waterfall in the remake).

First floor[edit]

Courtyard

After entering the castle, the player finds a 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, and the stairs to the basement. The stairs are located between two pillars, each with two coins on it. The door to the right of the mezzanine leads to the Princess's room, which hides The Princess's Secret Slide; in the DS version, this room is repurposed to have switching rooms, and a door within leads to the castle's 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.

Second floor[edit]

Map of the Mushroom Castle second floor
The second floor of the castle

After the player unlocks the door on the first floor, ascending a set of spiral stairs leads the player to the second floor of the castle. It is a round room with portraits adorning all areas of the wall. A set of stairs leads to yet another Big Star Door and ultimately the third floor. There are two doors found opposite each other on the outside wall. The first leads to a room that contains several portraits leading to Tiny-Huge Island. The other contains a mirror that runs through the center of the room. The player can become Vanish Luigi to pass through the mirror in the remade game.

Third floor[edit]

Map of the Mushroom Castle third floor
The third floor of the castle

The third floor consists of a small round room with 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 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.

Basement[edit]

Map of the Mushroom Castle basement
The castle basement

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.

After the water is drained, a 1-UP Mushroom can be spawned by touching the four corners of the tunnel area.

Area Tattles[edit]

  • "This is Peach's Castle. But we just came out of Bowser's Castle! I've got a funny feeling about this... I wonder where Princess Peach is being held captive. I think we should brace ourselves, Mario."
  • "This is the first floor hall of Princess Peach's Castle. There are so many doors, though. Where on earth can Princess Peach be?"
  • "Boy, what happened here? This is even messier than my room back home! It looks like nobody ever puts anything away in here."
  • "That's a pretty huge drawer over there. I bet a person could fit inside! If they wanted to, that is... Hey, there's a bed, too! This must be a guest room."
  • "It's a kitchen. I'm just guessing, but I bet this is where they make the meals. The castle's head chef probably cooks all the meals, don't you think? I wonder what kinds of savory dishes he knows how to make. Hey, Mario, have you ever eaten here?"
  • "This is the second floor hall of Princess Peach's Castle. There are so many doors, though. Where on earth can Princess Peach be?"
  • "This is just an ordinary room. Do you smell something, though? What a strange odor..."
  • "Wow! So many books. If we weren't in the middle of such an adventure, I'd love to read some of these."
  • "It's a dining room. It looks like somebody has eaten here recently. Probably not the Princess-- they're probably starving her! People always say that the meals served here are delectable. I'd love to eat here sometime."
  • "This looks like a storeroom. ...! Hey! Check out that box! Let's see what's in it."
  • "Wow! This is Princess Peach's room, isn't it? It smells great in here! It's such a cheerful room, just like Princess Peach. I can't believe she was locked up in here for so long, all by herself. She must've been so lonely... We've got to rescue her, right now!!"
  • "This balcony has a great view. I'm betting that this is one of the princess's favorite places."
  • "It's a covered hallway in Peach's Castle, Mario. Let's find Bowser and save Princess Peach!"
  • "We have to help Princess Peach!! Mario! Hurry up! Let's move!"
  • "Bowser's gone upstairs. C'mon, we have to follow him! Mario, let's roll!"
  • "We have to save the princess! Hurry up! Mario! There's no time to waste!"
  • "It's a castle tower. These long spiral stairs go up and up and around and around. Oog...I feel dizzy."
  • "Huh? Where in the world did Bowser just disappear to?"

Map descriptions[edit]

On the ground[edit]
  • Princess Peach's Castle used to be right here, on this very spot. But then the evil King Bowser uprooted the castle-- and kidnapped Princess Peach. Only a big hole is left here now.
  • This castle is where our beloved Princess Peach lives. That evil King Bowser once stole the castle... But now it's back, and it's as beautiful as ever.
In the sky[edit]
  • Princess Peach's Castle now rests atop Bowser's Castle. Peach, the princess in peril, is being held inside.
  • Princess Peach's Castle was once here atop Bowser's Castle. But now it's gone.

Trivia[edit]

  • In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, there is a painting of the stained glass window featuring Princess Peach. Peach's Castle appears in the premade world for the pack.
  • Although Peach's Castle's overall design resembles a traditional stone European castle from fairy tales, the LINE calendar entry for May 2018 features the grounds of the castle possessing water ponds with Toads and a Boo farming in a manner similar to that of rice paddies in Asian countries.
