Overview

The Castle

Outside the Castle is the starting location when creating a new file, reopening the game, or dying anywhere within the castle. It features a sunny environment with birds and water sfx in the background. There is also a cannon next to the lake that unlocks at 120 Stars, which is meant to allow you to get onto the castle roof. However, it can be bypassed with precise movement.

The Basement

The Basement has another secret star course housed to 3 courses which are SSL (Shifting Sand Lands), LLL (Lethal Lava Land), HMC (Hazy Maze Cave) and VCutM (Vanish Cap under the Moat)(requires to ground pound the pillars to get under the moat), aswell as there's also another Star Door which requires 30 stars and leads to the 2nd Bowser Fight, which is required to continue further into the game. The key cannot be skipped.

First Floor

Now Inside the Castle is where you go ahead and go into the paintings to go ahead and play courses. The 1st floor has 4 courses and 3 secret star course, BOB (Bob-Omb Battlefield), WF (Whomp's Fortress), CCM (Cool Cool Mountain) and JRB (Jolly Roger Bay), Peach's Secret Slide,TotWC (Tower of the Wing Cap) and SA (The Secret Aquarium) Then, you go into the Star Door, which requires 8 stars to get to, then you get to BitDW (Bowser in the Dark World), this is where the first bowser fight is. Then there is a door to the 2nd floor, which has all of the rest of the mid-end stages. There's also the basement, which you can get to by going through the wooden doors, and going down below, it requires the Bowser Key, or you can do 1 Key (which doesn't require the first bowser fight).

The Second Floor

The 2nd floor has a key required to get to the 2nd floor. There's a 50 star door blocking off the 3rd floor which leads into the boss fight, the 2nd floor has 4 courses, TTM (Tall Tall Mountain), WDW (Wet Dry World), SL (Snowman's Land) and THI (Tiny Huge Island).

The Third Floor

And finally we have the 3rd floor, which has 2 courses, 1 secret course and 1 star door, which leads into the final Bowser fight, the last 2 courses are TTC (Tick Tock Clock), RR (Rainbow Ride) and WMotR (Wing Mario over the Rainbow) The last star door can be accessible without needing any stars because it leads to the Endless Stairs, which by normal play would not be possible to go through, on the other hand, BLJ'ing to the top of the endless stairs gets you to the entrance to Bowser's Final Battle.

The Courtyard

Of course, we might have missed something, that is the peach's courtyard, and there, you might some ghosts, which can get you to BBH (Big Boo's Haunt), there's been many theories about the statue in the courtyard, most of which made the fake Luigi theories people made back then.
