The Castle Grounds is where the player begins the game. A sealed [[cannon]] is found near the lake to the right. After obtaining all 120 [[Power Star]]s (150 in the remake), the cannon will open and the player will be able to launch themselves to the top of the castle Roof, where the player will find [[Yoshi]], who will give Mario 100 [[Extra Life|extra lives]], and an enhanced [[Triple Jump]]. Also up there is a [[Exclamation Block|! Box]] holding a [[Wing Cap]]. In the DS version, this was removed (as Yoshi is a playable character), but Luigi's final [[rabbit]] can be found on the castle roof, as well as a [[Question Block|? block]] holding a Power Flower (or a Wing Cap if the player uses Mario). The roof in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' features a small fence around the area where the three mushrooms are found. It is possible to get to the top of the castle by climbing down the tree when the moat is not drained, or by a special technique all of the characters have to get to the roof without even using the cannon. Stomping on the two columns in the basement will drain the moat, which allow the player to enter the [[Vanish Cap Under the Moat]] (or [[The Secret Under the Moat]] in the remake). There is also a waterfall which acts as the exit of [[Cavern of the Metal Cap]] (or [[Behind the Waterfall]] in the remake). A moat surrounds the castle, which is able to be drained during gameplay.

After entering the castle, the player will find [[Toad]], who will say to go to the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] portrait, the only course that has not been sealed by [[Bowser]] at the time. There is also a locked door which leads to the second floor, which requires a key to unlock it. There is also 2 wooden doors, which both lead to the hallway to the [[Boo]]-infested hallway and Courtyard. The stairs to the Basement are also found in the hallway. A door to the left of the main room will lead to an area which hides a [[The Princess's Secret Slide|Secret Slide]] of the Princess. A door nearby leads to the castle's [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]]. The [[Star Door]] to the left of the main room is where Bowser resides in the level [[Bowser in the Dark World]]. A portrait of Princess Peach is found at the end of the corridor. However, the deceiving portrait will turn into an image of Bowser as the player walks down the corridor. In the middle of the main room, a sun in the form of a rug will send the player to the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] ([[? Switch (level)|? Switch]] in the remake) when they look into the sun shining from the ceiling.

After unlocking the door on the first floor, ascending a set of spiral stairs will lead the player to the second floor of the castle. It is a round shaped room with portraits adorning all areas of the wall. A set of stairs will lead to yet another Star Door, and ultimately the third floor. There are two doors found opposite each other on the outside wall. The first leads to a room which contains several portraits leading to [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. The other contains a mirror which runs through the center of the room. The player can become [[Vanish Mario]] (or [[Vanish Luigi]] in the remake) to pass through the mirror.

Peach appears to have more than one castle. A completely different one in seen in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. It stands on a gigantic and poorly structured rock out in the sea. This castle is also visible from Koopa Beach. The castles of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', are also said to be in the Mushroom Kingdom and invaded by Bowser. The Princess' home in the Non-Canon ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' is known as the ''Mushroom Castle''' rather than Princess Peach's Castle, and has a radically different design.
