'''Princess Peach's Castle''' (also known as '''Mushroom Castle''') is the castle in which [[Princess Peach]] and many [[Toad (species)|Toads]], including [[Toad (character)|Toad]] and [[Toadsworth]], reside. 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).

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]].


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]].

[[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]]. It can also be briefly seen in the background at the beginning of "[[Flatbush Koopa]]".

The Mushroom Castle first appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], serving as the home of [[Princess Peach]], the [[Chancellor]], the [[Vault Guard]], [[Granny]], and several [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]] in general.

[[File:Peach Castle in Super Mario 64.png|thumb|The castle in ''Super Mario 64'']]
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Peach's Castle was properly introduced and emphasized for the first time. The castle served as the central "hub" for the entire adventure. [[Bowser]] had taken over the castle and hidden the [[Power Star]]s (which seems to be of the castle) in numerous Painting Worlds that can be found throughout the castle. He had also [[Princess Peach]] and the [[Toad (species)|Toads]] deep within the castle's depths. Eventually [[Mario]] saved the Princess and returned the castle to its former glory. At the end of the game Mario can travel to the roof of the palace, (which is flat) where he will find [[Yoshi]].
The Mushroom Castle is the main hub in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It established the main appearance of the castle, looking a lot different than the castle in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', and 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 every [[Power Star]] 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.
 
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:
*One can be obtained by collecting eight [[Red Coin]]s in the [[Courtyard (Peach's Castle)|courtyard]] by defeating [[Boo]]s.
*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.
*One can be obtained by catching eight [[glowing rabbit]]s in total.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:Peach's Castle NSMB background.png|thumb|left|The castle shown in the intro of ''New Super Mario Bros.'']]
In the intro of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the castle is struck by lightning, distracting Mario as Bowser Jr. takes Peach. It appears in the background of [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]], and the sequels have since all had a theme of displaying the castle in the background of the first level.

[[File:SMG Prolog2.png|thumb|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''. It has a town adjacent to it and a road leading to there, the area being titled [[Castle Gardens]]. By the time Mario arrives at the [[Star Festival]], which Peach has invited him to, Bowser arrives to kidnap Peach, lifting the castle into space. At the end of his journey, Mario is flown to the castle by [[Rosalina]] to fight Bowser. After Bowser is defeated, Peach's Castle enters a black hole, though it returns to its original location. The player character can access the castle grounds when going to the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], after collecting 120 Power Stars with both characters.

}}
In the intro of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Peach holds her birthday party inside of the castle. When the [[Koopalings]] kidnap Peach, the player characters (Mario, Luigi, and the two Toads) immediately give chase, and two Toads in the castle help by shooting [[Penguin Suit]]s and [[Propeller Mushroom]]s out of a cannon to spread throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach's Castle is in the background of [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-1]], but the castle itself can be entered to watch [[hint movies]] by giving [[Star Coin]]s to a Toad there.
{{br|left}}
 
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:Peach's Castle SMG2.png|left|thumb|200px|Peach's Castle as seen in the beginning of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
The castle appears briefly in the opening of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where Mario finds that it is under attack by Bowser, who then kidnaps Peach again. Mario meets two Lumas on the bridge over the moat, and one of them becomes a [[Launch Star]] that launches Mario to the [[Sky Station Galaxy]]. At the end of the credits, Mario and the others have a party at the castle in celebration of Mario saving the galaxy.

During the title screen sequence of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', five Toads are seen in the castle, and Mario can practice his moves there. The red Toad is standing in an accessible area, as it is sticking up, shown while stepping behind the tower or switching to 3-D. The castle also appears during the opening and ending cutscenes. Peach's Castle is in the background of [[World 1-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-1]], like with ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and its sequels, alongside the [[Tail Tree]].
{{br|left}}
 
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====

Peach's Castle appears in the opening as well as in the background of [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-1]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Its design is reused from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Peach's Castle is also featured in the hidden area of Course 3 of the [[Gold Classics Pack]].

{{main|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 (New Super Mario Bros. U)|The Final Battle]], which takes place at the top floor of the castle.
{{br|left}}
 
====''Super Mario 3D World''====
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''====
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.


====''New Super Mario Bros.====
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.
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the castle is seen in the game's opening, where it is (possibly) attacked by [[Lakithunder]] shortly before [[Bowser Jr.]] kidnaps the princess. In [[1-1 (NSMB)|World 1-1]], it can be seen in the background.


====''Super Mario Galaxy====
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.
[[Image:Mario Festival02--article image-1-.jpg|thumb|Peach's Castle as it appears during the [[Star Festival]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' Bowser lifts her castle into space similar to ''Paper Mario'' and drags it across the universe into the Center of the Universe. It was then up to Mario with the aid of Princess Rosalina and the Lumas to rescue the Comet Observatory's Grand Stars. After Mario rescues all of the stars Rosalina guides the Observatory to the Center of the Universe so Mario can rescue his 'special one' and her castle from Bowser.


====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii====
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.
[[Image:ToadNSMBWII.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The inside of the castle with [[Mario]] and [[Toad]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
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 Bowser (via [[Bowser Jr.]] and 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 is also the location to get [[Hint Movies]]. They can be obtained by giving star coins to [[Toad]] who resides in the castle during the game. Once again, it can be seen in the background at the start of World 1-1.
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 Galaxy 2====
====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
The castle appears very briefly in the opening of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. After traversing a 2-D level, Mario enters Toad Town, finding it in ruins. He then sees a giant Bowser in front of the castle, 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 appeared at the end of the credits where Mario and friends have a party for saving the galaxy.
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.

Peach's Castle also made some appearances in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. The castle first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' in the track Royal Raceway. It has the exact same design as the one in ''Super Mario 64''. Players have a choice to explore the grounds if they wish. The Award Ceremony also takes place where the top three drivers will drive there with confetti and a trophy for the winner.
====''Mario Kart 64''====

====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
Peach's Castle can been seen in the background of [[Rainbow Road]] atop of Bowser's Castle, just like in ''Paper Mario''.
Peach's Castle is displayed in the background of [[GBA Peach Circuit|Peach Circuit]], [[SNES Mario Circuit 1|Mario Circuit 1]], [[Mario Circuit 4]], and [[GBA Battle Course 3|Battle Course 3]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', utilizing a similar design to ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Peach's Castle is also in the background of [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Super Circuit)|Rainbow Road]] atop [[Bowser's Castle]], just like in ''Paper Mario''. The castle's appearance in the icon of Peach Circuit more closely resembles its design in {{file link|Marioglobe.png|key artwork}} for ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.


The castle appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' twice. Once on [[Mario Circuit]] and 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. This castle is very 'cheerful' and cartoon-like, compared to its other appearances. In Mario Circuit, several Goombas on a rocky road, Piranha Plants in pipes along the track, a Chain Chomp on a large turn and tricky bends await a racer on both GameCube and Wii. (''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Mario Circuit re-appears in ''Mario Kart Wii'' as a retro course in the Leaf Cup). Also, in [[Mushroom Bridge]] the castle can be spotted vaguely obscured by fog in the background.
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
The castle appears in two courses of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'': [[GCN Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]], where walls separate it from the course, and [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]], just before the first tunnel of Grand Prix only.


Peach's Castle also appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', yet the course is named Mario Circuit. It, like in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', is located in a small village called [[Toad Town]]. [[Shy Guy]]s and [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]] observe players as they sit on the fences surrounding the castle and houses. A total of five [[Goomba]]s patrol the roads and a large [[Chain Chomp]] is situated on a sharp turn in or around the middle of the course. 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.
====''Mario Kart DS''====
The castle is seen in the ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' iteration of [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart DS)|Mario Circuit]], on a large lake in the middle, where it uses its design from ''Super Mario 64''. It is also in {{classic|GBA|Peach Circuit}}. [[DS Peach Gardens|Peach Gardens]] has a similarly designed country estate to Peach's Castle. In Mario Circuit, the castle is inaccessible because the bridge is blocked by a gate.


Peach's Castle could be a course from the upcoming game, ''[[Mario Kart 3DS]]'', and it is the first time the player is allowed to drive inside the castle.
====''Mario Kart Wii''====
[[File:MarioCircuit MKWii.png|thumb|Mario Circuit in ''Mario Kart Wii'']]
Peach's Castle appears on [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and it has a small town nearby, like in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

====''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''====
{{main|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''====
[[File:Peach's Castle MK8.jpg|thumb|200px|Peach's Castle in <small>N64</small> Royal Raceway in ''Mario Kart 8''.]]
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', yet [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|another Mario Circuit]] is built around Peach's Castle, which is now on a large hill in the center of the track. The castle also appears in {{classic|N64|Royal Raceway}} with an updated design, and the Castle Grounds are no longer accessible due to a gate blocking players from entering the area.
 
In the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the castle appears in {{classic|DS|Mario Circuit}}, retaining its design from ''Mario Kart Tour''.
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====

{{br}}
 
===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===
In the Modern version of ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|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, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, and [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Jrs.]] into a nearby Mushroom carriage. In the Modern version of ''[[Chef]]'' in the latter game, after the player reaches 200 [[point]]s, the background transitions to a castle garden that presumably belonged to Peach.
 
===''Wrecking Crew '98''===
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===
[[File:Peach Gardens.jpg|thumb|left|The castle in ''Mario Golf: World Tour''.]]
Many golf courses in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''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 (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'', as the title of the [[Peach's Castle (Nintendo 64 golf course)|Peach's Castle]] golf course, but the place itself does not appear. The [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|''Mario Golf]]'' has its own [[Peach's Castle (Game Boy Color golf course)|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 (golf course)|Peach Gardens]].

[[File:MP7Tiebreaker.jpg|thumb|left|Peach's Castle in the MSS Sea Star at the end of a Party Cruise match in ''Mario Party 7''.]]
In the [[Mario Party (series)|''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 [[Peach Board|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 Star]]s. 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 Star]]s 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.

[[File:Peach's Castle PM.png|thumb|200px|Peach's Castle before being uprooted in ''Paper Mario''.]]
The castle was once again taken over by the [[Koopa Troop]] 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) were having fun, Bowser hatched an elaborate plan that caused [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]] to rise into the air ''under'' Princess Peach's Castle, taking the Princess's castle with it. Many of the party guests were imprisoned and Bowser threw Mario out of a window, sending him spiraling back towards the [[Mushroom World]]. Peach was once again forced to be a prisoner in her own castle.  
Peach's Castle is uprooted by [[Bowser]] into the sky at the start of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', as part of a scheme where Bowser had built [[Bowser's Castle|his own castle]] below Peach's Castle. Mario eventually makes his way to the castle, where Bowser is fought as the final boss.
 
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
{{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.
 
===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]], 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, but the interior cannot be explored at any point. 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. Unlike most appearances, the castle rooftop is yellow instead of red.
 
At the start, Peach receives a gift from the [[Lady Lima|Goodwill Ambassador]] at her castle, but the ambassador and her assistant soon reveal their identities ([[Cackletta]] and [[Fawful]]) and steal Peach's voice, replacing it with explosives that blow up the castle. It is later revealed that Cackletta and Fawful stole the voice of a disguised [[Birdo]] while the actual Peach hid with [[Toadsworth]] behind a curtain.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
[[File:MLDT PeachCastle.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'']]
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.


In the end, Mario, [[Goombario]], [[Kooper]], [[Bombette]], [[Parakarry]], [[Bow]], [[Watt]], [[Sushie]] and [[Lakilester]] (with the help of the [[Star Spirits]]) fly to Bowser's Castle and makes their way up to Princess 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]].
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
{{main|Peach's Castle (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)}}
Peach's Castle is the starting location of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. It has an [[Item Shop]], a [[Gear Shop]], and and a [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]] Shop unlocked later on. The castle is eventually wrecked by [[Neo Bowser Castle]] with cannonballs, leaving it in ruins.


===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
====''Mario Party 3''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', Peach's Castle makes several brief appearances in the background of the opening cutscene, including the scene where Luigi is chased by a swarm of bees, and while Princess Peach and several Toads are conversing with each other by the fountain at the castle grounds. Near the end of the game, a fake version of Peach's Castle appears in the fake Mushroom Kingdom that Mario and Luigi explore while being trapped in [[Reclusa]]'s flowers in the [[Soli-Tree]]. Entering the castle once the door is opened (under completed conditions) causes the bros. to loop back to the start of the area although with major differences. When entering the castle for the last time before being freed from the flowers, Mario and Luigi enter a blank void with [[Glohm]] particles in the air and a red carpet leading up to a bright exit, instead of the usual castle interior.
Peach's Castle appears in the intro and "hub" of ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. Entering it lets one play any unlocked mini-games and music. The player can also change the options of the game there.


====''Mario Party 7''====
Peach's Castle is once again seen in the ending cutscene of the game, after everyone returns to the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser on his airship heads towards the castle for an attack, prompting Peach to call for Mario and Luigi and stop him once again.
At the end of a Party Mode game in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', there is an end-of-game ceremony that takes place at Peach's Castle in the [[MSS Sea Star]]. Here, [[Toadsworth]] announces the current scores and gives out the [[Bonus Star (Mario Party)|Bonus Stars]] to the players based on their performance. When it's time to reveal the Superstar of the match, all four (or eight) contestants will enter the castle to determine the overall champion. When they get to the top of the castle, the doors will open and the winner is revealed. That player (or team) is the superstar.


====''Mario Party 8''====

[[File:MvDK2 Room 1-2.png|thumb|The castle in the background of [[Room 1-2 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis)|Room 1-2]] in ''March of the Minis'']]
Peach's Castle is a recurring background feature in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''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 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|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.


===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
===''Super Princess Peach''===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga====
[[File:SuperPrincessPeachCastle.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Super Princess Peach'']]
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.
Peach's Castle is a location in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. It is where Bowser's minions captured Mario, Luigi and Toad while Peach, Toadsworth, and a Toad were on a walk. The castle bears six or eight towers supporting the outside walls, though 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.
 
===''Yoshi's Island DS''===
Peach's Castle made a small cameo in the intro. When the [[Toady|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.


====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time====
===''Fortune Street'' series===
[[Image:Castle Invasion.png|200px|thumb|Peach's castle being attacked by the [[Shroob]]s (''Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time'').]]
{{main|Peach's Castle (board)}}
In the sequel to ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the castle was actually the main traveling point of the game, almost identical to how the castle was used in ''Super Mario 64''. The music was even the same. The castle held all of the [[Time Hole|Time Holes]] leading into the past in the entire game. There were many items and [[coin]]s and the castle was 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.
Peach's Castle also appears as a game board in both ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Fortune Street]]''.


====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story====
===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
{{BisMKmap}}
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. 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''.
The princess' castle reappears in the sequel to ''Mario and Luigi: Partners In Time'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''.  


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 Kindgom. The meeting is soon cancelled 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, Brainwashed Bowser 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.
===''Mario Sports Mix''===
{{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.
{{br}}


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. After some traveling through the Castle Garden, they reach a pile of junk. [[Midbus]] then appears, activating [[Junker]], a trash robot, to defeat the Mario Bros. Once the Bros defeat Junker, it goes on a rampage, releasing Bowser from his cage, and making a path into a different room. Starlow decides to have them head back into Bowser's Body since they cannot further explore the castle at this point. To their amazement, they find a pipe leading straight into Bowser's [[Pipe Yard]], along with the remains of the trashed Junker.
===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
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.


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.  
===''Mario + Rabbids'' series===
====''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''====
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.


Fawful allows Midbus to fight against Bowser, giving him an icy powerup to make him [[Blizzard Midbus|stronger]]. Yet Bowser has proven 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 before Bowser punches him out of the room. The Dark star goes inside Bowser now, entering from the mouth while Bowser chuckled at the pleasure of punching Fawful.
====''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''====
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 [[Unrevisitable area|cannot return here]], rendering stone spirals and coins not found here [[Missable content|missable]]. Peach’s Castle is also seen at the ending, where [[Rosalina]] thanks Mario and his friends for saving her from [[Cursa]].

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 Fawful. Bowser must become giant for the last time in order to fight the castle. After a deadly battle, the Castle is defeated, and Bowser shrinks back to normal size.
===Monopoly series===
====Monopoly Gamer====
Peach's Castle is the fifteenth property on the game board in [[Monopoly Gamer]]. It is one of two properties in the Dark Blue Color Set (along with [[Bowser's Castle]]).


Heading back into the meeting room, Bowser finds [[Dark Fawful]] searching for the Dark Star, and attacks him. Once Bowser damages 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. Bowser and Dark Bowser enrage into a spike battle, with Bowser being the victor. Dark Bowser escapes to the Tower though, which Bowser follows after them.
====Monopoly: ''Super Mario'' Celebration!====
Peach's Castle replaces hotels in [[Monopoly: Super Mario Celebration!|Monopoly: ''Super Mario'' Celebration!]]


At the tower, 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 Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
[[File:Mario Movie Castle.png|thumb|Peach's Castle in the movie]]
Peach's Castle makes an appearance in the animated film ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', where it is depicted as being located on top of a mountain overlooking the entire Mushroom Kingdom. The front courtyard is accessible from below via Warp Pipe.
{{br}}


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.
===''Princess Peach: Showtime!''===
Peach's Castle appears in the opening of ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', where a Toad gives Peach a flyer advertising the [[Sparkle Theater]]. Peach's Castle has the same design as in ''Super Mario Odyssey''.

[[File:MGAT Peach's Castle.png|200px|thumb|The castle in ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'']]
[[Image:Toadstoolcastle.png|thumb|'''Toadstool Castle''']]
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.
Peach's Castle, known as '''Toadstool Castle''' in the game, appeared in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' as the sixth floor, or world. The floor's levels were the first in the game to feature moving platforms, and balance beams similar to the ones from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' The music played in the levels is 'Inside The Castle Walls' from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.


===''Super Princess Peach===
[[File:Overhead shot of castle grounds SMG.png|200px|left|thumb|The castle grounds in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
[[Image:SuperPrincessPeachCastle.jpg|thumb|left|Bowser's army invading Peach's castle in ''Super Princess Peach''.]]
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 ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', the castle was 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. Also, in this game 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, therefore letting four towers be seen in the opening scenes.


===''Itadaki Street DS===
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]].

<br clear=all>


==Description and Location==
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 the majority of games, the castle is normally gray brickwork, 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 castle. 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.
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.


[[Image:Castlepeachsprite.jpg|200px|thumb|The castle in ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour''.]]
[[File:SMG Unknown Floating Object.png|200px|thumb|left|The castle as it is lifted into space 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 hundreds 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 moat surrounds the castle, which eventually leads into a small pond. In this game, the castle is reached via [[Warp Pipe]].
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 ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the castle differs radically from it's Super Mario 64 counterpart. The castle 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). The castle grounds are also much smaller, with a simple fountain and one or two trees outside the castle.( It should be noted that much of the castles 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]].
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.


[[Image:unknownfloatingobject.png|200px|thumb|left|The castle as it is lifted into space in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
[[File:MushroomKingdommisc.jpg|400px|thumb|Official artwork used in promotional photos]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the castle 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 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 ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the castle's conference room was seen in the intro. It is eventually taken over by [[Fawful]] and served as the final area in the game.


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 Boo's and Big Boo's Haunt and another secret level were hidden in here.
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.
{{br}}


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


Also in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the cut-scenes show a more detailed top tower than when playing as Mario in the Star Festival.
===''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''===
====Castle Grounds====
[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Grounds Map.png|frame|left|Map of the Castle Grounds (DS version)]]
[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Moatless Grounds Map.png|frame|The Castle Grounds with the moat drained (DS version)]]
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 Star]]s (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 [[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).
{{br|left}}


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.
====First floor====
[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle First Floor Map.png|frame|left|The first floor of the castle]]
[[File:SM64DS Courtyard Map.png|frame|right|Courtyard]]
After entering the castle, the player finds a [[Toad (species)|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 (Peach's Castle)|courtyard]], and the stairs to the basement. The stairs are located between two pillars, each with two [[coin]]s on it. The door to the right of the mezzanine leads to the [[Peach's Room|Princess's room]], which hides [[The Princess's Secret Slide]]; in the DS version, this room is repurposed to have [[switching room]]s, and a door within leads to the castle's [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|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]].
{{br}}


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''.
====Second floor====
[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Second Floor Map.png|frame|left|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 Mario|Vanish Luigi]] to pass through the mirror in the remade game.
{{br|left}}


In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the castle looks 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.
====Third floor====
[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Third Floor Map.png|frame|The third floor of the castle]]
The third floor consists of a small round room with [[Tick Tock Clock|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 [[Over the Rainbows|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]].


==More Castles==
====Basement====
{{main|Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros.)}}
[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Basement Map.png|frame|left|The castle basement]]
{{main|Princess Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros. Melee)}}
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.
[[Image:castle.jpg|200px|thumb|Peach's Castle as it appears on ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]
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. Also one is seen on her course Peach Gardens in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' (and later appears in Mario Kart Wii).It is quite a flat castle with two small towers at each end. The highest part is in the middle of the building and this also stretches out supported by two pillars onto the track. A stage from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' is based upon Peach's Castle, as well as a second one from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. 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 Mushroom Castle in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' may also be a different castle due to its radically different design. It is also known as the '''Mushroom Castle''' rather than the Princess Peach's Castle in this appearance.


It is also speculated of the whereabouts of the castle in Peach Gardens (in both ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart Wii''). Some say it is directly behind Peach's main castle but that castle is not visible behind it. This theory is mainly caused by the mysterious appearance of a courtyard in ''Super Mario 64'', which is not visible from either the front or the roof of the castle in the main gardens. Amidst these statements, most, however, agree that the castle/palace in Peach Gardens is just another castle owned by Peach.
After the water is drained, a 1-UP Mushroom can be spawned by touching the four corners of the tunnel area.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The castle bears a striking resemblance to Bouzov Castle, an actual castle located in the Czech Republic, which is most likely where the appearance of Peach's Castle is derived.{{refneeded}}
*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.
*[[Princess Peach]]'s castle is the only structure that did not collapse when it was sucked into the [[black hole]] at the end of the event of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.
*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.

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. It can also be briefly seen in the background at the beginning of "Flatbush Koopa".

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 Mushroom Kingdom castle, flooding.
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 first appears in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake, serving as the home of Princess Peach, the Chancellor, the Vault Guard, Granny, and several Mushroom People in general.

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 established the main appearance of the castle, looking a lot different than the castle in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and 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 every Power Star 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]

Background of Peach's Castle as it appears in New Super Mario Bros.
The castle shown in the intro of New Super Mario Bros.

In the intro of New Super Mario Bros., the castle is struck by lightning, distracting Mario as Bowser Jr. takes Peach. It appears in the background of World 1-1, and the sequels have since all had a theme of displaying the castle in the background of the first level.

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. It has a town adjacent to it and a road leading to there, the area being titled Castle Gardens. By the time Mario arrives at the Star Festival, which Peach has invited him to, Bowser arrives to kidnap Peach, lifting the castle into space. At the end of his journey, Mario is flown to the castle by Rosalina to fight Bowser. After Bowser is defeated, Peach's Castle enters a black hole, though it returns to its original location. The player character can access the castle grounds when going to the Grand Finale Galaxy, after collecting 120 Power Stars with both characters.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

In the intro of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Peach holds her birthday party inside of the castle. When the Koopalings kidnap Peach, the player characters (Mario, Luigi, and the two Toads) immediately give chase, and two Toads in the castle help by shooting Penguin Suits and Propeller Mushrooms out of a cannon to spread throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach's Castle is in the background of World 1-1, but the castle itself can be entered to watch hint movies by giving Star Coins to a Toad there.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

The castle appears briefly in the opening of Super Mario Galaxy 2, where Mario finds that it is under attack by Bowser, who then kidnaps Peach again. Mario meets two Lumas on the bridge over the moat, and one of them becomes a Launch Star that launches Mario to the Sky Station Galaxy. At the end of the credits, Mario and the others have a party at the castle in celebration of Mario saving the galaxy.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

During the title screen sequence of Super Mario 3D Land, five Toads are seen in the castle, and Mario can practice his moves there. The red Toad is standing in an accessible area, as it is sticking up, shown while stepping behind the tower or switching to 3-D. The castle also appears during the opening and ending cutscenes. Peach's Castle is in the background of World 1-1, like with New Super Mario Bros. and its sequels, alongside the Tail Tree.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Mario near Peach's Castle in World 1

Peach's Castle appears in the opening as well as in the background of World 1-1 in New Super Mario Bros. 2. Its design is reused from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Peach's Castle is also featured 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.

Super Mario Run[edit]

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[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: Super Circuit[edit]

Peach's Castle is displayed in the background of Peach Circuit, Mario Circuit 1, Mario Circuit 4, and Battle Course 3 in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, utilizing a similar design to Paper Mario. Peach's Castle is also in the background of Rainbow Road atop Bowser's Castle, just like in Paper Mario. The castle's appearance in the icon of Peach Circuit more closely resembles its design in key artworkMedia:Marioglobe.png for Super Mario 64.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

The castle appears in two courses of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!: Mario Circuit, where walls separate it from the course, and Mushroom Bridge, just before the first tunnel of Grand Prix only.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

The castle is seen in the Mario Kart DS iteration of Mario Circuit, on a large lake in the middle, where it uses its design from Super Mario 64. It is also in GBA Peach Circuit. Peach Gardens has a similarly designed country estate to Peach's Castle. In Mario Circuit, the castle is inaccessible because the bridge is blocked by a gate.

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

Peach's Castle appears on Mario Circuit in Mario Kart Wii, and it has a small town nearby, like in Super Mario Galaxy. The race is spectated by Shy Guys and Hammer Bros. sitting on fences surrounding the castle and houses. In the background are some hills, yellow sunflowers along the grasses, and a hot-air balloon labeled "MARIO" traveling above the course. The castle retains its background appearance in GCN Mario Circuit and GBA Battle Course 3.

Mario Kart 7[edit]

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]

In Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, yet another Mario Circuit is built around Peach's Castle, which is now on a large hill in the center of the track. The castle also appears in N64 Royal Raceway with an updated design, and the Castle Grounds are no longer accessible due to a gate blocking players from entering the area.

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)

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]

Main article: Peach's Castle (Paper Mario)

Peach's Castle is uprooted by Bowser into the sky at the start of Paper Mario, as part of a scheme where Bowser had built his own castle below Peach's Castle. Mario eventually makes his way to the castle, where Bowser is fought as the final boss.

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
Screenshot from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and its remake, 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, but the interior cannot be explored at any point. 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. Unlike most appearances, the castle rooftop is yellow instead of red.

At the start, Peach receives a gift from the Goodwill Ambassador at her castle, but the ambassador and her assistant soon reveal their identities (Cackletta and Fawful) and steal Peach's voice, replacing it with explosives that blow up the castle. It is later revealed that Cackletta and Fawful stole the voice of a disguised Birdo while the actual Peach hid with Toadsworth behind a curtain.

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]

Main article: Peach's Castle (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)

Peach's Castle is the starting location of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. It has an Item Shop, a Gear Shop, and and a Battle Card Shop unlocked later on. The castle is eventually wrecked by Neo Bowser Castle with cannonballs, leaving it in ruins.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership[edit]

In Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Peach's Castle makes several brief appearances in the background of the opening cutscene, including the scene where Luigi is chased by a swarm of bees, and while Princess Peach and several Toads are conversing with each other by the fountain at the castle grounds. Near the end of the game, a fake version of Peach's Castle appears in the fake Mushroom Kingdom that Mario and Luigi explore while being trapped in Reclusa's flowers in the Soli-Tree. Entering the castle once the door is opened (under completed conditions) causes the bros. to loop back to the start of the area although with major differences. When entering the castle for the last time before being freed from the flowers, Mario and Luigi enter a blank void with Glohm particles in the air and a red carpet leading up to a bright exit, instead of the usual castle interior.

Peach's Castle is once again seen in the ending cutscene of the game, after everyone returns to the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser on his airship heads towards the castle for an attack, prompting Peach to call for Mario and Luigi and stop him once again.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong series[edit]

Main article: Toadstool Castle

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.

Super Princess Peach[edit]

Screenshot from Super Princess Peach

Peach's Castle is a location in Super Princess Peach. It is where Bowser's minions captured Mario, Luigi and Toad while Peach, Toadsworth, and a Toad were on a walk. The castle bears six or eight towers supporting the outside walls, though 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.

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.

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]

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.

Landscape of the Mushroom Kingdom
Official artwork used in promotional photos

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.

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Castle Grounds[edit]

The Castle Grounds with the moat drained (DS version)

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.

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.
