==Coins==
Although the castle is not an actual course and the score cannot be saved, it still has coins which can be collected. Because the coin count is not reset when the player exits a level, the actual maximum coin count is 999. Thus, this list enumerates the coins that can be collected ''at'' the castle.

===Castle Grounds===
===Outside The Castle===
The castle grounds are the starting location when creating a new file, opening a previous file, or dying anywhere within the castle. It features a sunny environment with birds and water sound effects 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 castle grounds contain one secret stage, [[Vanish Cap Under the Moat]].
