'''Mario's castle'''<ref>''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Wario's trophy (set to English).</ref><ref>''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' English instruction booklet, page 4.</ref> (or '''Mario Castle''')<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 43, pages 44 & 51.</ref> is a [[castle]] that 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]]'''."<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 43, page 51.</ref>

Inside are [[Furizo|metal spiked balls]], [[Piranha Plant (statue)|Piranha Plant-like footholds that spit fireballs]], and [[mechanical fist|traps shaped like Wario’s gloves]] that try to crush [[Mario]]. Extremely odd creatures live here, such as [[Floating Face]]s, 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, such as ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', the [[Mario Bros.' House]] replaced the castle as Mario's place of residence in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', on the board [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]], if the player gets a three-[[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] hotel after trading [[coin]]s with a [[Koopa Troopa]] at a hotel, the hotel looks 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 the player fights the [[Fighting Polygon Team]]. It is also similar to the [[P. 6-Finale]] song from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''.
*The final area where Mario battles Wario seems to be the only part of the castle that is unfazed by Wario's spell. Evidence that supports this is the noticeable ''M'' designs on the windows, brick walls that have [[Super Mushroom]]s and [[Carrot]]s on them, and a Mario statue in the part where the second phase of the final battle takes place.
