Hooktail Castle

Template:Location-infobox Hooktail Castle (Japanese ゴンババ城 Gonbaba Shiro) is a place that is found in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This is the castle where Hooktail, the dragon who is terrorizing Petalburg, resides. Mario, and his partners Goombella and Koops go here to defeat this dragon and get the Diamond Star, and it is also where Hooktail coughs up Koops' dad, Koopley.

The skeleton of Kolorado's father is in one of the hallways of the castle. He came to defeat Hooktail, and a note left by his skeleton gave Mario a very helpful hint on how to defeat Hooktail, by utilizing the chirping of something that starts with 'cr' and ends in 'icket'.

The castle was built to contain one of the Crystal Stars.

Also, with Bobbery's help, Mario can retrieve the Up Arrow behind a cracked wall and give it to Merlon, and he will be able to level up his partners' ranks a second time.
