'''Castle of Illusions''' is the third level on the eastern side of the [[music box (world)|music box world]] in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. It is accessible after Wario collects both the Lantern ([[The Big Bridge]]'s Blue Chest) and the Magical Flame ([[The Frigid Sea]]'s Green Chest), revealing the true appearance of the mountains in the east side of the music box world.

This level takes place in a castle, where there are two sides separated by an outside corridor that connects them. The corridor contains pillars that obscure the view due to it being on the foreground. Many [[Switch (Wario Land II)|switch]]es are found in the castle, which are used to toggle the red blocks so that they are pushed in or out, where the latter causes them to be solid.

The [[key|Gray Key]] is high up and to the left. [[Zombie]]s are on the platforms on the way to the key. To get there, Wario must first go to the door to the right, and then activate the [[Switch (Wario Land II)|switch]] past the [[Hebarii]] and exit. After that, he must go up the steps to the left and up, then go up the ladder to reach another room. In this room, he must throw the [[Para-Goom]] past the pillar that behaves like [[Enemy Block]]s to reach the switch on the other side to deactivate. From outside the room, he must go to the right past the gaps to another room to activate the switch within. Outside this room, he must go right, up, and then right to the top right room to deactivate the switch within. After exiting the room, Wario must make his way to the left across the gaps to reach the Gray Key.

From the Gray Key, Wario must make his way back to the room on the ground. After that, he must break the blocks to the right with a [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]] and then use a [[Dash Attack]] to move the [[stove]] down a floor and then to the left, so that he can cross the wall and reach the Gray Chest.

The Torch<ref name=TorchGoldSlam/> in the Red Chest requires both the Top Half of Sun Medallion from [[Sea Turtle Rocks]]' Green Chest and the Bottom Half of Sun Medallion from [[Desert Ruin]]'s Blue Chest, so that daytime can occur in the East side of the world, thus the treasure can be collect in the daytime. Optionally, to collect it during nighttime, the Super Grab Gloves from [[The East Crater]]'s Gray Chest is required.

From the beginning, Wario must make his way to the area to the right outside the castle similar to the path taken to reach the Red Key, except this time he must go to the right to another area that is inside the castle. In the new area, the Hammer-bot must be used to get to the other side by throwing it to break the Enemy Blocks blocking the way, and then enter the door in between the torches. In this room, the switch is on the other side of the pillar. Wario can go down the ladder and crawl the narrow opening where a [[Spearhead (enemy)|Spearhead]] is, then go up the ladder to the swtich. Alternatively, he can break parts of the pillar next to the switch to reach the other side. After activating the switch, Wario must exit the room to use the freed Hammer-bot to trigger [[Bouncy Wario]], and then bounce up and to the left to the opening in the ceiling, while making sure not to touch the [[Spike (Wario Land series)|spike]]s around the middle of the ceiling. In the room above, the Green Key is reachable from the first thin platform.
