Princess Peach's Castle (also known as Mushroom Castle) is the castle in which Princess Peach and many Toads, including Toad and Toadsworth, live. The rooms inside the castle vary from game to game, as does the castle's location.
The castle bears a striking resemblance to Bouzov Castle, an actual castle located in the Czech Republic.
Appearances
In Super Mario 64, the castle served as the central "hub" for the entire adventure. Bowser had taken over the castle and hidden the Power Stars (which seems to be the life-blood of the castle) in numerous Painting Worlds that can be found throughout the castle. He had also imprisoned Princess Peach and Toad deep within the castles depths. Eventually Mario saved the Princess and returned the castle to it's 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 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 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 Earth. Peach was once again forced to be a prisoner in her own castle.
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.
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 via telescope from Hoohoo Mountain. Mario's battle with Bowser takes place inside Princess Peach's throne room, but the castle interior cannot be explored. There is also a tutorial level in which Mario must find a Precious Item for a Toad.
In New Super Mario Bros., the castle is seen in the intro movie, where it is attacked by Lakithunder shortly before Bowser Jr. kidnaps the princess. In World 1-1, it can be seen in the background.
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.
The Castle also appears in Mario Kart 64 in the track Royal Raceway, it is the exact same design as the one in Super Mario 64.
It 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.
Peach's Castle is also a board in Itadaki Street DS.
Appearance and Location
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 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 Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga the castle was depicted with a yellow roof rather than a red one.
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).
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 Mario & Luigi RPG 3 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.
More Castles
Peach appears to have more than one castle. A completely different one in seen in Mario Hoops 3 on 3. Also one is seen on her course Peach Garden in Mario Kart DS. A stage from Super Smash Bros. is based upon Peach's Castle, as well as a second one from Super Smash Bros. Melee.

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