'''#4 Ludwig's Castle''' is the final level in the [[Twin Bridges]] area of ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It can be accessed by completing [[Cookie Mountain]] or [[Butter Bridge 2]]. By completing this level, the player gains access to [[Forest of Illusion 1]]. It consists of a maze-like narrow corridor, a large room with a descending spiked ceiling, and a tall chamber containing many [[Chain-Link|fence]]s with [[Climbing Koopa]]s, and a boss fight with [[Ludwig von Koopa]] at the very top of the castle.

==Overview==

The first room has several [[Bony Beetle]]s and [[Spinner|Ball 'N' Chain]]s. Mario must carefully avoid those to get to the next door. There is a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] just after the door. Also, there is a secret path that Mario can take. The square block just in front of the door can be jumped through, and the player must jump up a series of ledges to reach a warp pipe, which leads to a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-Up]] bonus game. In the next room, he has to deal with a spiked roof that slowly descends to the floor. Mario must hit the OFF switch in the middle of the room to make it go back up, and run towards the door on the left while avoiding the [[Lava Bubble]]s to avoid getting crushed. In the third room, there are fences with many [[Climbing Koopa]]s, as well as more spikes. Behind the red boss door is [[Ludwig von Koopa]], whom Mario can either defeat with [[fireball]]s or three [[stomp]]s on the head.

After [[Mario]] defeats Ludwig, he retrieves the imprisoned [[Yoshi]] (which is trapped in an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]), and attempts to blow up the castle. However, the detonation causes the castle to rocket into the air, and it crashes into the nearby hill. The hill gets a bandage after that.
