The [[level]] received some additional elements and platforms in the Nintendo DS remake and was remade for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' under the name [[Throwback Galaxy]]. In addition, the Whomp's Fortress painting from ''Super Mario 64'' also appears in the Super Mario Mash-up of ''[[Minecraft]]'' as one of the paintings that can be hung on a wall.

Whomp's Fortress is a large, tall stone fortress populated by Whomps, [[Thwomp]]s, and [[Piranha Plant]]s. The player starts off in a field area at the base of the fortress, which contains some [[Flower (Super Mario series)|flower beds]], a Piranha Plant, some [[Goomba]]s (in the Nintendo DS version only), and this course's [[Star Marker]]. The [[tree]] at the start of the level also contains [[Hoot]] during certain missions. At the top of the nearby ramp are some [[Bomp|Moving Bar]]s that try to shove the player off the ledge. After those are gaps with receding platforms over them followed by a couple of Thwomps guarding a set of stairs to the upper area. Near the Thwomps are a [[Cap Block|green block]] and a [[warp]] that takes the player farther up the fortress. The path splits at the top of the stairs, with a ramp going downward and a path to the right with some steps leading up to a Piranha Plant. The downward ramp leads to a pool of water, a [[Bob-omb Buddy]] and a [[cannon]], and a small area with a [[Blue Coin Block]] and some Goombas (DS version only). The right-hand path leads to the top of the fortress and contains Piranha Plants, a falling bridge, a turning bridge, and some Whomps. At the top of the fortress is the Whomp King, though only during the [[Chip Off Whomp's Block|first mission]]. Every other mission has a tall tower with receding steps at the top of the fortress. Above the course are several platforms that can be reached either by using Hoot to fly up there or by knocking over a board at the top of the fortress.
