Bowser's Castle[edit]

The castle that walled off the sky

Population: Middling Currency: Oblong
Size: Sprawling Industry: Hanafuda Cards
Locals: Stairface Ogres Temperature: Average 79°F

Terrifying Gatekeepers - Don't run afoul of the Stairface Ogres that guard this kingdom. When they spot an intruder, they bring their huge mallets down, no questions asked. On the other hand, you have to admire their tenacity and worth ethic. The scars on their faces show that they don't give up easily.

Beautiful Tile Work - This kingdom's architecture is unique. Roofs are made of heavy, layered tiles that will not budge even if walked upon. They also create a uniformity in the overall design, enhancing the beauty of the palace.

Though you can move along the roofs, this palace rests quite high in the sky, and if you fall off, you will most definitely die. It's not the surest footing either, so be careful.

Statues Guard the Court - The palace tower highlights the inner citadel, and the gate leading to its is guarded by fearsome statues.

The statues are fashioned after the gods of wind and thunder, the perfect motif for a sky palace, and since they are modeled on Bowser, the ruler of this Kingdom, they serve as a warning to foes here and abroad.

Impressive Fortifications - Surrounding the inner citadel are second and third courts. The second court is especially fortified, with many cannons to repel invaders. Cannonballs often roll along the ground, and many tourists fall trying to evade them. Legends speak of invaders repelling cannonballs with spears, but no mere mortal could hope to do this, so try not to get too close!

An Oasis of Calm - This elegant garden is a balm for the brutality of this kingdom and will help you forget all the hardships you faced to reach it. You can even buy souvenirs, so be sure you stop by!

Three Keys to the Kingdom

  1. Dart past the silent and lethal Stairface Ogres.
  2. Avoid being distracted by the ominous (yet brightly glowing) clouds.
  3. Survive the various traps designed to end your trip early.
