The '''Castle Grounds''' are the area in front of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They are a hilly, grassy area with several small [[tree]]s and a waterfall on the far left that pours into the castle's moat. There are two bridges over the moat: a wooden one that leads to the right side of the Castle Grounds, and a stone one that leads to the front door of the castle. | The '''Castle Grounds''' are the area in front of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.

In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Mario, [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] all arrive at the Castle Grounds after Peach sends her letter. They then enter the castle to search for Peach while Yoshi is seen sleeping on the roof. When they fail to return, one of the Lakitu Bros. wakes Yoshi up, prompting him to search for them. When he tries to enter the castle, it turns out to be locked. To obtain the key, Yoshi has to chase a [[rabbit]] through a small hedge maze, which was added to the Castle Grounds in this version of the game. Later, after speaking to the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in the [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]], Yoshi can find six more rabbits in the Castle Grounds that give him keys when caught. A [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Black Brick]] was placed on top of the entrance to The Secret Under the Moat, requiring Wario to access it. | In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Mario, [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] all arrive at the Castle Grounds after Peach sends her letter.
