Peach's Castle is Spoopy

- If there's anything that isn't talked about enough regarding Super Mario 64, it's how spoopy Peach's Castle is.
Support me so I can escape the castle: / zoomzike
Apparently, according to a letter from a Nintendo of Europe employee, Peach is so rich that she has multiple castles, including one entirely for her paintings. This is why there is no furniture, kitchens, or even a valid entrance in the Super Mario 64 castle.
Thats some pretty bad communication from Peach to tell mario to just “come to the castle” as if he knows which one
@@mangaprofilepicture5820 especially if she was gonna give him a cake which would’ve then been presumably in the latter castle
@@Nic_2751 there's a castle for ladders?
@@mangaprofilepicture5820 perhaps they already had plans at the castle but she wanted to call him out early bc she realized she was about to get kidnapped.
@@mangaprofilepicture5820 "Thank you, Mario, b-but your princess is in another castle. No, I don't know which one she's in, I just know she isn't here."
The best thing Paper Mario ever did was put a kitchen in the castle
And you actually get to use it
But it's an alternate universe as established by Paper Jam.
@@y2k890 Pretty much every game could fall under that.
Mario has such loose continuity that any spinoff may as well be its own universe.
I suppose the only canon stuff is the basic recognizable stuff Mr. Miyamoto wanted games to retain.
Peach feels most at home in that room
@@y2k890 too early for that shit
It's not a death pit, Zike, you don't lose a life. It's more like a... fun fall.

I’d find it hilarious if June Zoom 2’s finale is literally a Zoom call.
Now I want that to happen just for the joke
"Why do you only look straight toad?" "It is simple, the sky is death."
I think what's creepy about this place is explained in the story. This place is actually in this game technically Bowser's Castle. He took it over. But wait. Where are the enemies. Where are the traps. Well that's because they are in the painting worlds that Bowser created. Aside from a few Boos the taken over castle doesn't change much in terms of aesthetic. The castle looks largely the same but Bowser's influence is still felt in a more subtle way. There are no inhabitants walking the halls. The place is practically a ghost town deserted and devoid of life save for Mips and the occasional Toad. The Toads seem to not even be real but holograms used to communicate to Mario due to them being sealed away by Bowser's power. The doors also being sealed by it. It really isn't until the end of the game where Mario defeats Bowser in the final showdown where we see Peach and 2 real Toads implying that Mario freed everyone who was trapped. Peach and the Toads walk into the castle as Bowser's control over the castle is removed and the castle becomes Peach's Castle once again.
Bowser didn't really create the painting worlds. As we can see from the manual they already existed, Bowser just corrupted them and transformed most of the inhabitants (and later Mario cannon seems to say the paintings are just portals to other places in the Mario universe).
I guess this is why wet dry world's town feels so empty.
@@arcticdino1650 Adding to this, in Odyssey the paintings get locked up in side towers, which are referred to as "art prisons".
I went beyond the hills, Peach. *There was nothing there.*
What do you mean coomer
Actually, as it turns out there was just a plane of parallel universes
I want to climb Peach's hills... I mean
Peach does use Toad as a meat shield in Smash without batting an eye, so the water room death trap doesn't seem that surprising.
A Nintendo employee said that Peach has two castles, one for paintings and one for living in.
that still dosn't explain where the cake came from
@@darkychao The other castle
@@johnnysaurus04 at the end of the castle they walk into the castle peach says that they're going to make a cake for Mario, but they walk into a castle that dosn't seem like it'd ever have any way to make a cake, and then the screen cuts to a cake sitting in what appears to be the TTC room along with some tea.
so are you trying to imply that they all
1) went into the painting castle (to do something???)
2) left
3) went to another castle that has a kitchen
4) baked a cake and made tea
5) packed everything up
6) left
7) went back to the painting castle
8) set up the cake in the TTC room
@@darkychao I'm trying my best here.
@@darkychao she bought a cake in advance and lied about baking it
I like to believe the primitive design and Mario 64’s nonsensical design completely leaves you dumbfounded, it’s no wonder Sunshine and later games had way more logic applied to their design, especially Sunshine, this just feels too random and disconnected to make any sort of sense out of.....
That's also why I enjoy Sunshine more than 64
@@Anaklusmos42 yeah Galaxy managed to bring back the random floating levels but actually make sense out of it since of course they’re floating out in literal space above black holes, it’s simple cleverness that 64 lacked, just floating levels because, Mario needs pits.
@@Nic_2751 minus the fact that it fails from a physics perspective...
@@megarotom1590 it’s Mario, realistic physics are the last thing in mind
@@Nic_2751 So stuff floating in the sky is weird but stuff floating in space is okay... got it (also technically Mario physics are relatively realistic once you realize it's not earth and Mario isn't human. I mean most of the time you don't need to have a whole lot more than gravity than to make it make sense)
peach is a psychopath and the design of her castle reflects that, this analysis is beautiful
There's a reason why I consider the Paper Mario verison the true version
Also in the DS version it basically confirms the fact that anyone not named Mario will fall to their death when looking into the sky
Supposedly most of the 15 Castle Secret Stars were actually ones that Bowser missed because Peach hid them away, so it's actually entirely probable that the Secret Aquarium is one of those missed stars. If that's the case, then that means the star was always placed there as the exit to the aquarium. Other than that, this is pretty accurate.
Bowser said "There were some in the castle that I missed!?", which I feel could mean they he knew of a few, but not all. The Toad's Power Stars and the Secret Slide ones were definitely not Bowser's, but the Aquarian where you have to collect eight red coins before you drown? Feels very like him.
@@zoomzike The sign Peach left in her room mentions the secret stars Bowser doesn't know of, and the game calls the aquarium star a secret one so!
I know this video isn’t meant to be taken seriously, but dang it, I love talking about Mario nonsense, so here goes nothing!
0:15 Though I can’t explain why in universe, I would argue the devs did this to make sure the player doesn’t get confused on where to go. After 64, you always go to Peach’s castle after Toad Town: Paper Mario, Galaxy, Mario and Luigi 3, and even before 64 in SMRPG.
0:43 Yeah, this Peach’s castle seems more like an art museum than a royal home, but I have to excuse this case due to it being a very early 3D game: you can’t put furniture unless you want your game to be chuggin’. Just like the castle grounds, every iteration other than 64 and Odyssey, Peach’s castle felt more like a home with furniture and stuff. 1:32 What I can remember from Paper Mario, the room that has Whomp’s Fortress is where the kitchen should be, but since that’s post-64… I don’t know, she has a hidden kitchen behind Tick Tock Clock maybe.
0:56 The paintings were always there, but I doubt most were ever meant to be portals until Bowser cursed the place. Maybe the secret slide, and the cap levels are the exceptions because Bowser did say there are stars that even he didn’t find himself and those levels in particular don’t kill Mario by their environments alone. Mario can only die in those levels either by enemy interference (Bowser’s influence) or by being really irresponsible with jumping between high and low levels.
2:05 and 2:58 if it was Peach and/or her subjects who installed those places, they would’ve been warned about it prior. I’m shocked that you didn’t mention that one place that would help back up your argument: you know, the one place that kicks you out from THE SKY OVER THE CASTLE GROUNDS!? Bull-honkey on 64 logic! No amount of water can save you from a drop like that!
But for argument’s sake, that entrance to the sky was put in a spot where no wandering toad can ever trip into it: I mean, it’s a pain to get there as Mario and Toads aren’t the best jumpers. Also, again, Peach would’ve gave major warning to those places during employee orientation.
Boy, that was fun! Keep up with your June specials, ZoomZike! Can’t wait to see what your next one’s going to be!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Zike, it's obvious. Lethal Lava Land is the kitchen and the peach painting that you can never reach bc you fall in a pitfall to bowser 1 is her bedroom. Jolly Roger Bay is her swimming pool, etc. Also perhaps she does want to kill toads. I mean she needs a place nearby at all times to chuck a toad that's getting on her nerves.
The thing about the sunbeam is especially scary because it's at the entrance of the castle.
Any normal person will probably be struck by awe as they see this the moment they enter the castle and once they look up at the source..... is all over for them.
Thing is, that particular area doesn't kill you if you fall. Same with the secret slide.
Execution by drowning, how humane.
I guess the Peach's Castle you visit in SM64 is more akin to akin to an art gallery she maintains and curates than an actual home, since Peach's Castle in the Paper Mario games actually have rooms that make sense for it being somewhere you'd live in.
I like that Mario 64 DS added a rec room and a living room with a picture of Mario in it, I just wish they could have added a space to explain where the Toads live, and a kitchen. I'd probably put the doors to the Toad's rooms in the hallway with the Boo, and put the kitchen in a room on the second floor.
"Is this supposed to be some kind of fortress then?" That's what castles are supposed to be.
There are probably different kinds of castles either for war or for living quarters.
It's generally been implied people live in Peach's Castle, so it's a tad odd it's so trap-filled.
They're different words because they aren't the exact same thing.
A fortress is more military-orientated.
@@zoomzike Castles are also heavily military oriented.
@@arcticdino1650 Not nearly as much as fortresses, hence why I said what I said in the vid
@@zoomzike I looked it up to make sure I wasn't crazy and well, the internet doesn't seem to have a concrete answer. Basically, castles and forts are both fortified structures, and forts can include castles, but can also not.
So in the end there isn't really a right answer
It’s really creepy, which is why everyone loves the Mario 64 Iceberg so much.
Peach probably glued all toads to one specific area. Them jumping is them trying to escape.
Just as nonsensical as Peach's castle is that either the events Mario 64 happen nearly identically TWICE, or Mario 64 DS is a split in the timeline, and if it's the first, Peach either renovated the castle or she has ANOTHER castle, and because Peach's castle looks different in every game it appears in (like Mario kart 64, or Galaxy, or Odyssey), then it means either nearly every Mario game takes place in an alternate universe OR, the more interesting idea, Peach is just THAT stupidly rich and powerful that she owns a bunch of really similar castles. And here's the thing, Bowser's many castles would sort of imply that Peach really DOES just have a bunch of different similar looking castles, because this really IS a thing royals do in the Mario universe. We just never see it directly because it's not directly relevant to the events of the game.
To add even more things:
-Where is the light that shines down even coming from?
-There is a trap door that leads to a floating Bowser land. How does that even work?
-On top of that, the clock room also has two holes that lead to levels in the sky, plus an infinitely long staircase that ends at a hole that also leads to a sky level.
-The basement is flooded, with a door that leads into the moat. The moat which can be completely drained by ground pounding two random pillars, mind you.
-In Super Mario 64 DS, behind the Goomboss room is a balcony... with no way to get onto it.
-The lighting in the basement consists of nothing but fireballs. That seems unsafe.
The bowser ones couldve been created by bowser
So a few things, In a letter from a Nintendo a fan asked about the furniture and the employee said she had a separate castle just for furniture and one for paintings. And second I feel like The Castle and a Woodland Mansion from Minecraft share the same eerie vibe.
peach just had some pre-uber eats cake service on speed dial in 1996
I love watching people make theories and explanations about random inconsistencies in Nintendo games. The best part is they all make enough sense to be believable.
Even if Mario Kart 64 has a path to yhe castle, how do people actually get to the race track??
Every copy of Peach's Castle is personalized
One of my biggest hopes for if they ever make a sequel to Super Mario 64 is that they give each room a purpose. Sure the paintings should be big setpieces, but make the rooms make sense.
And aren't the Toads trapped in the castle walls? (I've heard that apparently this isn't literal and they're just stuck inside the castle, but uh...)
Put toads in the walls of each room. Power Stars wouldn't only unlock other areas of the castle, they'd free toads from the walls and help you. Perhaps some unlock a minigame that takes place in the room. Maybe they can aid you with yet another power star. Maybe in a kitchen, you could free a chef that would cook for you. What would the food do? idk. But it would be so cool!
Peach's Castle is a great hub world, but it could be even greater if it is a living, breathing place, full of toads and interesting rooms, and things to do!
Didn't know a zoom June was going on.
Next on the episode thanks RUclips for giving me that notification.
I think that the empty rooms with nothing but paintings with legit no one living in this huge castle has some great creepy pasta potential.
The fact you took a vacation without skipping a day is insane
Wait, I thought the aquarium star was always there. Doesn't Bowser have a different dialogue in the final battle if you collect MORE than the amount of stars he hid in the main levels, suggesting that some of the secret stars in the castle (like the aquarium one) were not found, and therefore relocated by him?
Actually yes! Bowser says there were some in the castle that he missed. All of the Secret Stars are supposedly just ones that were hidden so well that Bowser didn't know they existed.
@@DaNintendude Yup.
This video failed at doing proper research :D
@@wariolandgoldpiramid I mean, given that it was intended to be entirely satirical, probably no research went into at all.
Bowser said "There were some in the castle that I missed!?", which I feel could mean they he knew of a few, but not all. Otherwise he would've just said "There were stars in the castle!?" The Toad's Power Stars and the Secret Slide ones were definitely not Bowser's, but the Aquarian where you have to collect eight red coins before you drown? Feels very like him.
@@zoomzike Makes sense, although the aquarium IS specifically called the "Secret Aquarium", much like Peach's Secret Slide, and most sources online also list it as one of the handful of "Secret Stars", which altogether still implies that it was kept from public knowledge. And given that we all agree on the fact that the aquarium was there BEFORE bowser showed up, it's name being the "Secret Aquarium" still implies that Bowser likely didn't know about it.
She baked the cake in Shifting Sand Land with a lens or in Lethal Lava Land with a cake pan suspended over the lava.
Another thing to mention is the fact that Peach just happens to have quite a few paintings that have a whole other world inside
Where did she get them? The black market?
plot twist, PEACH IS THE REAL ANTAGONIST OF THE MARIO SERIES
All the oddity of Peach's Castle in 64 leads to a lot of lore in later games
The painting worlds, magical paint, the star's power, etc
But they never touch on the interior, it always remains a mystery, and the only time they did in 64DS it only added more questions with things like the Balcony, behind the mirror, and other things
As someone who has dedicated years to making video productions with this game
This vídeo is the usual question that rises when it comes to what should each room be, and how to get to the castle
It seems that there are few ways to get to the castle, removing the one you said from Mario Kart 64
And that Bowser may have used a path from Dire Dire Docks to the castle.
It may be that there should be a way to get to the castle from the sky, why? Because that bonus sky level if you fall it takes you to the castle grounds.
Another possible way is to get from two ways by water, one would be by ship, since the coast has water and it clearly looks open to what could be sea or at least a big lake, the second way would be, by the river, there must be a river that takes you to the castle, we can see this in Hazy Maze Cave when you find the metal cap bonus level, we can see that a waterfall falls to the metal cap level, we don't know from where it comes from but we know it ends in the castle into what I mentioned earlier could be a potential lake.
It may be quite a locked place but there seem to be many ways to get to the castle, though, I see all of them unconventional, except for the previously mentioned "lake" though it'd be an unusual way to get to the castle, except if we think it's the princess's castle and she needs to stay safe, so keeping her in a place with no easy access may do the trick, I don't imagine a castle in the middle of a town in this case unlike Paper Mario for example, in this case it may be Next to the town in a locked like place but next to the town.
About the rooms, there could be the excuse of being under a remodelation, but I doubt it xD, at least they should have given a bed in Peach's room, because yes, that's supposed to be Peach's room if I recall correctly, I mean, where does she even sleep? xD
The slide, come on ZoomZike, we're not supposed to jump from slides, and maybe is not even finished, the place where it doesn't have a wall to prevent you from falling, it seems to have some pieces of steel holding it, which may mean it's not finished yet.
About the Wing Cap Bonus Stage, I wouldn't know what would happen to the Toads, we don't know if they can have wing caps, but they may considering they can use all other power ups in the New Super Mario Bros series, as for Peach, not only she can have them, remember she can also levitate, I honestly don't know what the purpose of having the bonus stage there is, maybe since it was under a renewal they just placed it there and didn't know, but who knows, This just seems to be very ilogical.
The secret aquarium, when you said, do you want a Toad dead? Hm... Maybe... Just maybe... that's why it's a secret aquarium.
A few things
1. Bowser didn't put the star in the aquarium. He has dialogue that says he missed the secret stars.
2. If Bowser moved the paintings into their own rooms, he could have removed everything from the kitchen just to put a painting there. The toads could have moved them back afterwards. The kitchen could also be hidden away.
3. The interior of the castle doesn't line up at all with the exterior. There are rooms were there should be none and weird empty Space between them.
4. What the manuals state is usually in a limbo state of cannon.
5. No mention of hazy Maze Cave? Peach has these giant caverns beneath her castle including a Prehistoric sea creature!
1. Bowser said "There were some in the castle that I missed!?", which I feel could mean they he knew of a few, but not all. The Toad's Power Stars and the Secret Slide ones were definitely not Bowser's, but the Aquarian where you have to collect eight red coins before you drown? Feels very like him.
2. This feels like something the manual or the game would've stated if it had happened.
3. I can't think of many games where the outside version of a building and the indoor version of it match perfectly (granted there's a loading zone in-between), so it's to be expected.
4. Not sure what makes you say that. The manual's the manual. It comes with the game and it contains the story.
5. Remember that these are worlds within paintings; Hazy Maze Cave exists within its "painting", not beneath Peach's Castle.
@@zoomzike Points 4&5
So for one, Nintendo seems to have retconned the whole "they exist in paintings thing" with throwback Galaxy being whomp's fortress, and not even really a recreation, as the pink bombombs think they recognize the plumber boy. Also, Hazy Maze Cave is entered via a hole in the floor that looks nothing like a painting, it looks like water, and has an area that exists out from behind the waterfall outside the castle. Finally, for the game manuals' cannon, what makes them less cannon is mostly things like retcons (like the Koopalings relationship with Bowser having changed from his kids to his minions, which contradicts SMB3's manual).
@@arcticdino1650 Manual canon doesn't become less canon just because of a retcon. If that were the case then every canon in existence would be "less canon" due to retcons.
It's still a painting thing, Throwback Galaxy is just a recreation of Whomp's Fortress, that's all.
Although its entrance doesn't look like one of a traditional painting world, it still functions like one by containing Power Stars which boot you out of the level when collected. A part of the level that boots you outside doesn't discount that since it could just be the same as entering it.
Nice video! My new headcannon is that Peach constantly craves the thrill of near-death situations, and Bowser's kidnappings/castle takeovers are just his way of trying to keep her safe for a little while. So thank you for that!
I just realized that the chair behind Peach's cake is smiling...rather....eerily.........at me.
This entire video ignores the fact that every time you "die" in a painting you get ejected back into the real world
Maybe Bowser swiped all the appliances in the Castle as well as Peach and I mean come on every royal need a drownhouse to execute lol
In super Mario 64 Ds, if you enter the wing cap level with anyone but Mario, they just immediately fall to their death as soon as you enter. So basically what you described. Even though you don't lose a life, it still must be a traumatic experience to fall 100 feet straight down into a void.
The kitchen is probably somewhere in that endless pit in the slide stage.
0:52 Bowser was planning to convert the residents of the painting worlds into monsters? Well, as for Wet Dry World, I think he actually ended up drowning the original residents. It's a flooded city with only a few enemies. 💀
When you have a really good April fools video idea but you don't wanna wait 10 months.
Because Mario galaxy 2 shows that Whomps fortress exists in the "real" mario world, (It's not just a recreation, since they remember mario from the events of 64) and in Mario Odyessy you can use paintings to travel between kingdoms, that probably means it's been retconed paintings arent separate worlds, but they just tranport you to different parts of the same world. (Which i very much prefer over the idea of them being fake worlds inside the paintings tbh) So I think the point of the paintings was to be a sort of "Fast Travel Hub" for residents of the mushroom kingdom to use the paintings to quickly travel to other areas.
I like to believe peaches castle is an elaborate art show.
omgg that was a very funny video xd; loved the voice transition to the very loud "why anybody can die" to the disturbing voice of "Peach set an aquarium trap". Well done!
Listen. If I were to have a secret slide, and that secret slide DIDN'T hover over a death pit, I would want nothing to do with it
I love this video so much. I've been here years ago, wondering what the hell kind of castle this was where there were nothing but paintings and empty halls and a semblance of structure but no real rooms. I think what really got me was this is a sort of uncanny valley between a world designed purely for a game and a world designed to look lived in by people. There's parts of the castle that kind of look like rooms but no typical living quarters. I remember playing in the ds version and I would look out at the skybox beyond bob-omb battlefield or the courtyard, at the vast blue expanse that looks like ocean, and feel so lonely. It's an island of sorts. The haunted forest just outside the cage of boo's haunt. I love thinking about the actual explanations of this castle and I'm so glad someone else is asking the same questions. I like the reasoning provided in the video and the comments. The paintings are there already and bowser made them full of monsters. Secret stars hidden from his search that lead mario to a tower in the sky, or a secret aquarium. A slide that I could easily imagine peach wanted for herself, cause I'd want a secret slide if I could have my own house that size. It was just made more dangerous by bowser. I can get behind the explanation from nintendo, that peach has multiple castles. But I also love the comment that I saw from someone elsewhere. This is peach's castle, and she really did have it designed for both living quarters and also to be full of crazy hazards, and no one questioned it and just carries on with working there.
If the painting are always a portal to other worlds, what if the castle is meant to be a greater hub for commerce and relations throughout the mushroom kingdom. The aquarium could be accomodations for water fairing visitors and the non painting world's could be recent additions not fully recognized yet. What if peach baked her cake just by being in lethal lava land. I NEED ANSWERS ZOOM, ANSWERS FOR PEACHES CASTLE
"I JUST took over! When did I have time to install lava pits?" ~Bowser
regarding the secret aquarium: doesn't one of the toads mention that the secret stars (secret aquarium's 8 red coins star being one of them) were the ones that Bowser missed? That would mean Bowser didn't put them there...
Fun fact, in 64 DS, appreciating the sunshine with someone other than Mario actually does lead to them endlessly frontflipping until they fall into the abyss since they can’t use the Wing Cap.
Maybe Bowser looted the place so Mario wouldn't be able to come at his with knives.
Or, y'know, so he can have the swag from the castle. (Ignoring the fact that some Nintendo employee said Peach has multiple castles)
The BitDW is literally just a room with a big painting of Peach, what a narcissist.
Should've been called Princess Peach's Museum
0:16 Yes, it indeed seems quite difficult to enter the castle grounds, in-universe-logically speaking, but if you were a princess being kidnapped all the time, wouldn't you decide to make the place less accessable at some point? Lol
the aquarium was built for people who ask too many questions. guards. take the zike away.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mario Galaxy has the best rendition of Peach's Castle.
Halloween is just June 152nd
Halloween is in March.
Peach's Aquatic Oubliette.
Okay you've convinced me, I'll buy the manual!
But only because this is one of my all time favorite games and it contains info unknown to me.
Also yeah, the castle gave kid me a huge scare when I thought of this, later it became scary after cartridge tilting, but nowadays it's my nostalgia comfort game
"Dont answer that question" had me dead
i have a Different question regarding the Cake...when you grab that last Star from Bows3r and fly off back to the castle, Peach beams down to the entrance...but she looks like she was unconscious or at least unaware of her situation-- she looks around, side-to-side, then notices the red plumber in front of her, "Mario!" she says, almost Surprised that he's there in the first place (at least, according to her tone and body language)...and then she tells her Toads, "cmon, lets bake a delicious cake...for Mario!"
...but at the beginning of the game, Mario gets a letter from the Princess, asking him to "please come to the castle; i have baked a cake for you"...
so WHY 1) does she seem so Surprised at seeing Mario, and 2) has she not baked the cake yet??
similar to how Princess Ruto denies any and every association with the Bottled Letter you found, even though that letter says "halp! stuck in Jabu, plz plz" (signed, Princess Ruto)...
...do you think maybe Bowser FORGED Peach's letter? (or, Ganondorf forging Ruto's?) like setting a trap with some Bait for our hero to fall into?
Poor ZoomZike.
He needs a hug…
Or a REVERSE MUSHROOM
this castle is where she stores her art, duh
The castle in Mario 64 is basically one her extra castle where she keeps her slide and a lot of the dangerous things as all the paintings in 64 gave dangerous things in it. I like to imagine the kitchen is behind a secret door only Peach can unlock which makes sense given how none of the toads there besides the one in the main hall who would later be captain Toad can actually cook and you can tell this is a super secret castle because Toadsworth isn't there because if he were Peach wouldn't have been captured as easily and could have warned Mario about Bowser.
The fact Mario knows about the castle means she trust Mario that much that she told him about all her castles and how to reach them.
3:16 just makes me think of "Promo show"
I'm just going to say that the paintings themselves have what is needed for the rooms. Peach did have a real piano, but one of the Boos came out from the back garden and possessed the piano and brought it to Big Boos Haunt which unfortunately makes that not really part of the castle at all because it's in a Boo.
But lethal lava land has high enough temperatures to cook food I guess. You need to keep something Frozen bring it to either of the snow levels. Peach is crazy and just wants servants to have a much more difficult time retrieving what she wants.
"after mario 64" well the star in the aquarium would be grey
The best thing to come out of the whole SM64 Iceberg thing was people making other icebergs for other franchises and themes. The secong best thing was people creating theories to make sense out of all the nonsensical bullshit in the game, like this theory that says that the painting worlds aren't "inside" the panting, but rather actually exist somewhere in Mario's world and the paintings merely serve as portals to those places.
but the entrance to the death aquarium is higher than any toad can jump... not sure why it exists though
Something that would've been cool is if some rooms in the castle were actually more like a typical normal home, there would be some sort of painting or entrance in that room that contains a level that is based on that room. Sure some rooms can still contain levels like Bob Omb Battlefield, Cool Cool Mountain, Lethal Lava Land...maybe, but imagine a kitchen room where the entrance to the level is like maybe, a picture hung up on a fridge, or a fake window that's actually a painting. And in that level, you're fighting off kitchen utensil like enemies or food enemies, and there's some objective where you have to bring vegetables to a hungry Charging Chuck (you know teaching kids to eat healthy to grow strong) or cooking with a Hammer Bro with a chef hat. Or hell, imagine if there was a reference to the Got Milk commercial.
Or what about a level taking place inside a bedroom, what if you were short like a mouse and you're exploring this more huge version of Peach's room, and you're trying to find ways to get around the place. Jumping on the bed for extra height, finding a secret in a drawer, sure it'd be a bit cliche doing the whole exploring a room while being small trope, but hey for the time this game came out, this would've been fun. The mirror room should've been more than just a place to discover a secret painting that leads you into another snow level, they should've made some wacky gimmicks involving mirrors, like maybe playing an old world that's more inverted maybe, things work backwards somehow, just something that can seem like it's definitely a level located in the mirror room.
I think one level that actually seems to unintentionally get this idea is Hazy Maze Cave. The entrance to the level is all the way at the basement, and the walls are clearly pipes, and the level itself just looks like an entire sewer. There's an area that has "poisonous gas," there's some water around, those rolling boulders are...um...very up for interpretation, and not only that but the exit to the Metal Cap sub area in that level has a long stream of water that throws you out a waterfall nearby the castle, and usually sewers are polluting bodies of water. It's very odd how much this random level of the game happens to have so much to it that it acts like a legitimate part of the castle, as if it really has a use to it compared to almost every other room that is just has a painting.
Another level I'd say would be Jolly Roger Bay, but imo it doesn't seem to really take advantage of the idea of being an aquarium and it's more so just "here's a water level that's based on a room with water stuff"
1:02 At least the DS version has a playroom (with the minigames), as well as some furniture in the room with the Mario painting 😅
*Bowser walks into the castle and looks at the light*
Bowser: What is this light?
*Teleports to the middle of the sky only to fall to his doom*
Clearly Peach has the right idea!
Damn you’re making me think of things more deeply than I originally used to think haha
The aquarium trap seems terrifying but… oddly peaceful?
like, drowning is known as one of the most peaceful ways to die. If you were about to die anyway, why not climb in there and have a peaceful end?
spooky
My personal headcanon is that mario complained to peach about how hard it is to get there and that he lost luigi along the way so peach as a reward built a raceway so mario and his friends can race around and have fun.
When you look at toad:
Bonjour
When you move away from toad:
Adios
If you don't understand what I'm referencing it's the fact that toad reappears out of thin air when you turn to him.
Which is creepy as hell.
I feel like these questions have the same answer as the following: Why would Bowser keep all of the castle's stars away from Peach upon taking over? It's clear he knows how to manipulate their power himself, if his own areas and the eternal staircase are anything to go by, so why bother? The only logical explanation is that he knows the princess is able to use them to greater effect than he can. That would certainly explain how she could possibly live there for any stretch of time, and how the castle could be larger inside than out. She could easily just create links to other areas of the castle, like bedrooms, dining rooms, or a kitchen, hidden away the same way that Bowser hid himself and Peach away. Just a fun little theory to consider.
It's a cozy playground.... But I wouldn't want to live there without some friends
This feels like this zoom's version of the rogue pixel video
2 spooky 4 me
Obviously toads can just open the menu and select "exit course" like mario, duh.
0:37 "is this supposed to be some kind of fortress then?" You mean... like a fucking castle? The only singular thing every caztle in existance was built for?
"Fortress" and "Castle" are different words for a reason
"Fortress" implies it's more military oriented, which is what I was getting at
@@zoomzike every castle is military oriented. Every single caztke ever made is created so as to serve as a bastion to hold out in a siege and to project the power of a lord to the land around it.
@@robertharris6092 Sure, but when someone hears fortress they're gonna think more military than if someone says castle. Like if I came to someone's huge house and said "this place is a castle!" The feeling of that is a lot different than if I said "this place is a fortress!" That's the distinction I was making in the vid.
you should literally do more videos finding creepy things you wouldnt think of
i genuinely enjoyed this
This is so scary, can we flush 10 rats down the toilet
Maybe peach got evicted by bowser. This explains 2 things:
A. Lack of furniture/possessions
B. The paintings. I bet a couple of koopas were just moving some paintings, accidentally dropped one, and then they found out the secret.
0:37 yes. It is. That's why it's called a castle.
one time I heard someone say that when their husband was a child, they sent questions to Nintendo of Europe who supposedly answered all of them. One of the three they decided to share was why Peach's Castle had no furniture in it. Nintendo of Europe responded by saying that Peach had 2 castles. One for living and one for Artwork.
Why not have just one big castle's having different castle's for specifics reasons just seems very initruitive
@@kj21 rich people do some stupid shit okay?
Q. How do you get to the castle?
A. Um boat.
I’ve heard that if people that question this stuff get a visit from yoshi and are never heard from again...
Damn, this is actually a crazy way to look at it

Man i was wondering how Peach made that cake without a kitchen. My mind is blown with everything that is trying to understood with that 😂
