"Peach's Castle"

The main motif of "Peach's Castle" on a vibraphone
Composed by:
Koji Kondo
First appearance Super Mario 64 (1996)
Latest appearance Mario & Luigi: Brothership (Nintendo Switch) (2024)

"Peach's Castle",[1] also known as "Inside the Castle Walls",[2] is a recurring musical theme composed by Koji Kondo first used as the background music for Peach's Castle in Super Mario 64. It is usually associated with the castle and Princess Peach herself.

Composition[edit]

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

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

In Super Mario Maker 2's Story Mode, "Peach's Castle" is incorporated into the six background music tracks that build as progress on rebuilding Peach's Castle grows. Each theme introduces variations on the motif that, in sequence, approach the original "Peach's Castle" melody.

The second theme increases the tempo and plays the motif on pizzicato strings, while also adding flute to the first theme's orchestration. The third theme uses synthesized instruments, playing the motif on synth strings and multiple staccato synthesizers. The fourth theme adds orchestral instruments, playing a variation of the A section on lead synthesizer, and the B section on strings. The fifth theme is a traditional arrangement of "Peach's Castle", but with a shaker and wood block remaining in the background. In the emergency theme, the motif is played on a sine synthesizer. Finally, the motif is used in the jingle that plays when Peach's Castle is 100% rebuilt.
