The castle is the level containing the majority of the other levels in SM64, along with the Castle Grounds.

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.

The Castle

Castle Grounds

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.

First Floor

The first floor is the introductory area of the castle. It contains 4 main courses (Bob-omb Battlefield, Whomp's Fortress, Cool, Cool Mountain, and Jolly Roger Bay), and three secret courses (The Princess's Secret Slide, The Secret Aquarium, and Tower of the Wing Cap). The star door on this floor requires 8 stars to open and leads to Bowser in the Dark World, the first Bowser stage. The star door can be skipped with an LBLJ, by HSWKing, or with speed conserved from Bob-omb Battlefield[1][2]. Additionally, there is a key door to the second floor, as well as one leading to the basement (the intended next area) and a regular warp door leading into the courtyard.

Courtyard

This courtyard is the location of Big Boo's Haunt, whose entrance is hidden inside of one of the several Boos in the area. The Boos won't show up if you have less than 12 stars.

Basement

The basement has 4 main courses (Shifting Sand Land, Lethal Lava Land, Hazy Maze Cave, and Dire, Dire Docks). It also contains the pillars normally required to unlock Vanish Cap Under the Moat, although they can be bypassed with moat door skip. The Star Door in this area requires 30 stars to open (which can be skipped with an SBLJ), and leads to the second Bowser stage, Bowser in the Fire Sea, and Dire, Dire Docks.

Second Floor

The second floor has 4 main courses (Tall, Tall Mountain, Wet Dry World, Snowman's Land and Tiny-Huge Island), along with a star door that requires 50 stars to open, which leads to the third floor. The star door can be skipped using BLJs.

Third Floor

The third floor contains 2 main courses, Tick Tock Clock and Rainbow Ride, along with one secret stage, Wing Mario over the Rainbow. Although there are "endless" stairs on this floor that require 70 stars to pass, it can be easily skipped using BLJs. These stairs lead to the final Bowser stage, Bowser in the Sky.
