'''Peach's Castle''' (alternatively '''Peach's castle'''), also known as '''Princess Peach's Castle''' or the '''Mushroom Castle''',<ref>Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller. ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide. Page 118.</ref><ref>''Super Mario 64'' North American instruction booklet, page 4.</ref><ref>''Super Mario 64 DS'' North American instruction booklet, page 4.</ref> is the [[castle]] situated within the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and its most prominent landmark. 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 is sometimes seen having more than one castle. An entirely different one is seen in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', at the [[Peach Field]] court. It stands on a gigantic and poorly structured rock out in the sea. This castle is also 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]]. The Mushroom Castle in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' also has a radically different design, as it predates the traditional design from ''Super Mario 64''.

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. In the comic series ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', Peach's Castle has a slightly different design, resembling a medieval castle.

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[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.

===DIC cartoons===
====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
In ''[[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]].

====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:PeachsCastleSMB3.png|thumb|Princess Toadstool's castle as seen in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'']]
In ''[[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)===
[[File:KC Kingdom Castle flood.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The castle, flooded]]
In [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha's ''Super Mario'' manga]], the castle appears at the start of the ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' adaptation. [[Mushroom King|The king]] asks [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to fix its flooding problem.
{{br}}

===''Super Mario-kun''===
Peach's Castle has appeared a few times in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. In [[Super Mario-kun Volume 6|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''===
[[File:SMRPG Chancellor.png|thumb|The throne room of the castle]]
[[File:Smrpgpeachcastle.png|thumb|left|The Mushroom Castle from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.'']]
The Mushroom Castle makes its first appearance in a video game in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. It is home to [[Princess Peach]], the [[Chancellor]], [[Granny]], the [[Vault Guard]], and several other [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]]. After being escorted to the throne room by [[Toad]] the first time, [[Mario]] informs the Chancellor that the Princess is missing after a [[Exor|huge sword]] pierced [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. Soon, after returning from [[Mushroom Way]], Mario and [[Mallow]] find [[Shymore]]s coming out of the castle's front door, with most of the castle's Mushroom People hiding in the [[Princess Peach's room|Princess' room]]. After the leader, [[Claymorton]], is defeated in the throne room, the first [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]] is discovered and the castle returns to normal. Later, Princess Peach is returned to the castle after rescuing her at [[Marrymore]]; however, she escapes from her bedroom window using a parasol, and joins Mario's party while Granny is disguised as her.

After obtaining the fifth Star Piece, [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros.|Samus Aran]] makes a cameo resting in the castle's guest room.

It has the same role in the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|2023 remake]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]], although it is slightly redesigned to have blue rooftops instead of red to have it better reflect its appearance in the world map. Because of video cutscenes being included in the remake, it also adds a scene showing Peach jumping out of the tower on-screen to rejoin Mario, which was merely implied in the original game.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:Peach Castle in Super Mario 64.png|thumb|The castle in ''Super Mario 64'']]
[[File:SM64DS-Peach's Castle.png|frame|right|The castle as seen in ''Super Mario 64 DS'']]
The Mushroom Castle is the main hub in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and later in its [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]], ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It 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 all of the [[Power Star]]s 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 game's intro.]]
The castle reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' where it is struck by lightning in the beginning (as a diversion while Peach is kidnapped) and can be seen in [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. Since this game, the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' series has had a running theme of having Peach's Castle visible in the background of the first level of each game.
{{br|left}}

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:LuigiRosalinaSMG.png|thumb|left|200px|This image is sent to the [[Wii Message Board]] after Luigi collects 121 [[Power Star]]s. The castle can be seen in the background.]]
[[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''. A town adjacent to it and a road leading there are considered a part of the castle grounds, named [[Castle Gardens]] in the game. In the beginning of the game, Peach invites Mario to the castle for the [[Star Festival]]. When he gets there, Bowser lifts the castle into space and kidnaps Peach. At the end of the game, Rosalina flies Mario to the castle so that he can battle Bowser. When Bowser is defeated, the castle is sucked into his black hole, but it is expelled and returned to its original location in the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario (or Luigi) can access the castle grounds when they go to the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] after the player collects 120 Power Stars with both characters.

}}
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the castle is featured during the game's opening in which Peach holds her birthday party. After she is kidnapped by the [[Koopalings]], Mario, Luigi, and two Toads immediately chase Peach, and two other Toads back at the castle fire [[Penguin Suit]]s and [[Propeller Mushroom]]s out of a cannon into the Mushroom Kingdom.

The castle is also the location to watch [[hint movies]], which can be obtained by giving [[Star Coin]]s to a 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 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-1]].
{{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''.]]
[[File:CakeSMG2.png|thumb|200px|Peach's Castle as it appears in the ending credits in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
The castle appears very briefly in the opening of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. After Mario arrives, he finds it under attack by Bowser, 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 appears at the end of the credits where Mario and friends have a party for saving the galaxy.

}}
In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', if the player waits for a while on the title screen without pressing {{button|3ds|A}}, they can enter Peach's Castle. There are five Toads here, and Mario can practice his moves in the castle. The place where the red Toad stands is inaccessible, as it is sticking up, which can be seen while stepping behind the tower or by switching to 3-D. The castle can also be seen in the opening and ending cutscenes of the game. Like in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, the castle also appears in the background of [[World 1-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-1]], alongside the [[Tail Tree]].
{{br|left}}

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:NSMB2 Peach's Castle.png|thumb|150px]]
Like in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', Peach's Castle makes a cameo in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' in the opening and in the background of [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-1]]. It has the same appearance as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. As in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', however, it cannot be entered. It also appears in the hidden area of Course 3 of the [[Gold Classics Pack]].
{{br|left}}

====''New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
[[File:NSMBU Peach's Castle World Map.png|thumb|left|Peach's Castle as seen in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' after [[Bowser]]'s invasion]]
{{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 Run''====
During the events of ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Peach's Castle along with other buildings are destroyed as Bowser tries to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. However, if the player plays Toad Rally frequently, the castle will be rebuilt and will expand over time caused by the increase of [[Toad (species)|Toads]]. Peach's Castle stops expanding at level 20, when the player has at least 4,000 Toads. [[Princess Peach|Peach]] will be brought back to the castle when the player defeats Bowser in [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run]].

====''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.

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.

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.

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.

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>Youtube.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
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 64''====
[[File:Peach's Castle 64.png|thumb|left|Royal Raceway]]
The castle first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' in the track [[N64 Royal Raceway|Royal Raceway]]. It has the exact same design as in ''Super Mario 64''. Players have a choice to explore the grounds if they wish, but they cannot enter the castle itself. The Award Ceremony also takes place at the castle where the top three racers will drive there to celebrate after winning.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', Peach's Castle appears 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]], where it uses a similar design to ''[[Paper Mario]]'', while its appearance in Peach Circuit's icon more closely resembles its design in {{media link|Marioglobe.png|key artwork}} for ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. In Peach Circuit and Battle Course 3's reappearances in ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart Wii'' respectively, the castle lacks the flags. Peach's Castle can also be seen in the background of [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Super Circuit)|Rainbow Road]] atop [[Bowser's Castle]], just like in ''Paper Mario''.

====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:Peach's Castle PM.png|thumb|200px|Peach's Castle before being uprooted in ''Paper Mario''.]]
[[File:PM Bowserscastle.png|thumb|200px|left|Peach's Castle stands atop Bowser's Castle during the events of ''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) are having fun, Bowser hatches an elaborate plan that causes [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]] to rise into the stratosphere ''under'' Peach's Castle, taking the Princess' castle with it. Many of the party guests are imprisoned and Bowser throws Mario out of a window, sending him spiraling back toward the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach is once again forced to be a prisoner in her own castle.

When Mario visits [[Star Hill|Shooting Star Summit]] in the prologue, [[Princess Peach's room]] is visited by [[Twink]], a Star Kid who offers to help Princess Peach. After every chapter of the game (except the last), there will be an intermission in Peach's Castle when the player controls Princess Peach to collect information for Mario from [[Bowser's diary]], talking [[Koopatrol]]s and [[Hammer Bro]]s, [[Gourmet Guy]], the [[64th Trivia Quiz-Off]], etc.

In the end, Mario, [[Goombario]], [[Kooper]], [[Bombette]], [[Parakarry]], [[Lady Bow]], [[Watt]], [[Sushie]], and [[Lakilester]] (with the help of the [[Star Spirits]]) fly to Bowser's Castle and make their way up to 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]].

The player can access the castle and its grounds in their "normal" state, as they were before the castle's uprooting, prior to the game's prologue. The player controls Mario for the last time as he enters the castle to attend a party commemorating his victory over Bowser and his forces, and once he is there, Peach arrives and gives a speech thanking Mario, his partners, and everyone else who supported him for all they had done to restore the kingdom to its former peace.

At the beginning of the game, where Mario explores the castle to find Peach, there is a Toad soldier guarding the princess's room. If Mario talks to him enough times, he will become annoyed and let Mario explore the room (however, he insists that he not touch anything). There is also a guest room turned Toad House later in the game, which is also the last Toad House in the game.

====''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, grab that star that makes him [[invincible]] and able to walk on spikes in order to access the chest containing the treasure.

At the end of a Party Cruise 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 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.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:MLSS Peach's Castle.png|thumb|Princess Peach's Castle in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and its 3DS remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Princess Peach's Castle, also referred to as the '''Mushroom Kingdom Castle''',<ref>Thomason, Steve. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Player's Guide. Page 28.</ref> 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]] in the original game. Mario's battle with Bowser takes place inside Princess Peach's throne room, but the castle interior cannot be explored.

At the beginning of the game, Princess Peach receives a gift from the [[Lady Lima|Goodwill Ambassador]] from the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] at her castle, but the ambassador and her assistant soon reveal themselves ([[Cackletta]] and [[Fawful]] in disguise) and steal Peach's voice. Peach's voice is replaced with explosives, which blow up the castle. Later in the game, it is revealed that who is stolen the voice of is actually [[Birdo]] in disguise, and the real Peach is hiding behind a curtain with [[Toadsworth]] when the fake Peach is receiving Cackletta and Fawful.

{{See also|Shroob Castle}}
[[File:Castle Invasion.png|200px|thumb|left|Peach's Castle being attacked by the [[Shroob]]s.]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the castle is the main traveling point of the game, nearly identical to how it was used in ''Super Mario 64''. The music is also a cover version to the aforementioned game. The castle held all of the [[time hole]]s leading into the past in the entire game.

There are many items and [[coin]]s and the castle is home to one of the game's three item shops. There are 2 bosses the player fights in there, one against the [[Junior Shrooboid]] and the other the last boss in the game; [[Shrowser]]. Goombas can also be fought in the basement area.

In the past, the castle has been taken over by the Shroobs, who turned it into [[Shroob Castle]], the final dungeon in the game.

{{M&LBIS map}}
[[File:M&LBIS title screen.png|thumb|left|The castle as it appears in the title screen.]]
The princess' castle reappears in the sequel to ''Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''.

The game begins at the castle, with [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] traveling through the main interior to the [[Conference Hall|meeting room]]. The meeting is about the [[Blorbs]] that have infected much of the Mushroom Kingdom. The meeting is soon canceled 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, Bowser now under the effects of the vacuum shroom 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.

Later in the game, Fawful takes over Peach's Castle, which serves as the final area of the game. In the original game, the castle does not look too different except in ruins. In the remake however, the castle walls and towers are changed to dark blue, the roofs and tower tops are changed to magenta, the windows are blocked off, Fawful's likeness is plastered everywhere, the interior is much darker and there are dark clouds above the castle the whole time (in the original game, the dark clouds were only present during the final battle). Fawful also transforms the entire castle into a [[Super Peach's Castle of Fury|giant robot]], which Bowser battles as his final giant boss, severely damaging the castle in the process. After that, he must defeat Fawful and [[Dark Bowser]] before they conquer the entire Mushroom Kingdom. Mario and Luigi can enter the castle in this state, but since only Bowser can destroy the Fawful statues in the way and climb on the walls by rolling, they can't go past the entrance, but they can get access to a secret passage to get a new piece of equipment. After the defeat of Fawful and the [[Dark Star]], the castle is gradually repaired back to its old self over the course of the credits.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
[[File:Peach's Castle MLPJ.png|thumb|The castle as seen in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'']]
The castle makes an appearance as the starting location in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. It is also the place where [[Luigi]] knocks down the book off a bookshelf in the cellar of the castle containing the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' world. Peach's Castle also includes an [[Item Shop]], a [[Gear Shop]], and later unlocked in the game, a [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]] Shop. Eventually, the castle gets wrecked by [[Neo Bowser Castle]] with cannonballs, leaving the castle in ruins.

{{br}}

===''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.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
[[File:SuperPrincessPeachCastle.png|frame|left|Peach's Castle in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''.]]
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 and would require symmetrical placement of towers, therefore allowing only four towers to be visible in the opening scenes.
{{br}}

===''Fortune Street'' series===
{{main|Peach's Castle (board)}}
Peach's Castle also appears as a game board in both ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Fortune Street]]''.
{{br}}

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
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''.

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
{{main|Peach's Castle (court)}}
In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', Peach's Castle returns as a court and background element for [[Mushroom Cup]] tournaments.

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}}

===''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.

===''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.

====''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]].

==Layout==
[[File:MGAT Peach's Castle.png|200px|thumb|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.

[[File:Overhead shot of castle grounds SMG.png|200px|left|thumb|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 [[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 ''[[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 [[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 ''[[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.

[[File:SMG Unknown Floating Object.png|200px|thumb|left|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 [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|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 [[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.

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
{{br}}

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''===
====Castle Grounds====
[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Grounds Map.png|frame|left|Map of the Castle Grounds]]
[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Moatless Grounds Map.png|frame|The Castle Grounds with the moat drained]]
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 a feather 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 a [[list of Super Mario 64 DS glitches#Underground Pool|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}}

====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 [[Princess Peach's room|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 (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}}

====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}}

====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]].

====Basement====
[[File:SM64DS Mushroom Castle Basement Map.png|frame|left|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.

====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?''"

====Map descriptions====
=====On the ground=====
*''Princess Peach's Castle used to be right here, on this very spot. But then the evil King Bowser uprooted the castle-- and kidnapped Princess Peach. Only a big hole is left here now.''
*''This castle is where our beloved Princess Peach lives. That evil King Bowser once stole the castle... But now it's back, and it's as beautiful as ever.''

=====In the sky=====
*''Princess Peach's Castle now rests atop Bowser's Castle. Peach, the princess in peril, is being held inside.''
*''Princess Peach's Castle was once here atop Bowser's Castle. But now it's gone.''

==Trivia==
*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.
