Princess Peach's Castle: Difference between revisions

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.
