Mario's castle
Template:Location-infobox Mario's castle[1][2] (or Mario Castle[3]) appears in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Wario steals the castle and transforms it into a level. According to Nintendo Power, he renamed it “Wario Castle.”[4]
Inside are metal spiked balls, Fire Pakkun Zō footholds which spit fireballs, and traps shaped like Wario's gloves known as Genkottsu that try to crush Mario. Extremely odd creatures live here such as Floating Faces: a type of bouncing ball with Wario's face on it. If Mario beats Wario, the spell is broken, the castle turns white instead of black, and its "M", turned upside down to resemble a "W", is moved back into its correct position.
In later games, the Mario Bros.' House replaced the castle as his place of residence in the Mushroom Kingdom.
In Mario Party 8 on Koopa's Tycoon Town, if the player gets a three-Star hotel after trading coins with a Koopa Troopa at a hotel, the hotel will look like Mario's castle.

Trivia
- The theme song of the Mario's castle stage is similar to that of the Battlefield in Super Smash Bros., while fighting the Fighting Polygon Team. It is also similar to the Page 6 castles' song from Yoshi's Story.
- In the second battle with Wario, there is a statue of Mario that resembles Mario's sprite from Super Mario Bros. 3.
