'''Peach's Castle''' ({{ja|ピーチ城上空|Pīchi-jō Jōkū}}, ''Above Peach Castle''), known as '''Peach's Castle (64)''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', is Mario and Luigi's home [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' In [[1P Game]], the player fights a team consisting of {{SSB|Mario}} and {{SSB|Luigi}} on this stage. Luigi is also fought here in his unlocking battle in the same game.

Even though this stage did not return in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Additionally, a stage taking place in the same location called [[Princess Peach's Castle]] is a playable stage in ''Melee''.

Peach's Castle returned as [[downloadable content]] in both versions of ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' on July 31st, 2015, alongside [[Hyrule Castle]]. Like other returning stages from the first ''Smash'' game, some of the textures are slightly higher in quality, but the general overall primitive look of the original is retained. Peach's Castle also returns as a familiar stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', alongside the Princess Peach's Castle stage from ''Melee''.

==Stage overview==
==Stage Overview==
Peach's Castle has two main platforms, one on top of another. The top platform is a [[soft platform]] that slants upwards to the left, and downwards to the right. The bottom platform is a solid platform that slopes slightly downwards on both sides. The bottom platform partially comprises a block that moves left and right, which acts as a [[semisoft platform]]. On the top two corners, there are two floating, inward-angled platforms, resembling pinball slingshots, that move slowly up and down and prevent characters from being smashed away too easily. These platforms are very easy to DI off of as well.  
Peach's Castle has two main platforms, one on top of another. It is possible to fall through the top platform. The bottom platform partially makes a block going left to right, that makes sound in ''Smash 4'' if listened to carefully. On the top two corners there are two floating, inward-angled platforms that move slowly up and down and prevent people from being smashed away too easily. These platforms are very easy to DI off of as well. It has a floating [[Bumper]] on the middle above the second platform of the stage. This bumper moves slightly left and right (it remains stationary on 1P Mode though). It is difficult for most characters to [[recover]] on this stage since the two floating platforms limit recovery to the top platform and there are no ledges that can be grabbed, with the moving black platform on the bottom of the stage greatly aiding recovery, but it isn't always on the side the player is on). In ''Smash 4'' however, fighters can now grab onto the bottom platforms.

===Ω form===
 
The Ω form removes all features but the main platform, which has been extended.
In ''Smash 64'', it is difficult for most characters to [[recover]] on this stage since the two floating platforms limit recovery to the top platform and there are no ledges that can be grabbed. The moving block platform on the bottom of the stage greatly aids recovery, but it isn't always on the side the player is on. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', however, fighters can now grab onto the bottom platforms.
 
===Ω forms and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the [[Ω form]] removes all features but the main platform, which is extended and flattened.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the main platform of the Ω form and [[Battlefield form]] is similar to ''SSB4''{{'}}s Ω form; however, it is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The design of the three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form is based on the wooden soft platform in the center of the regular form.

===Hazards Off===
In ''Ultimate'', with hazards off, the Bumper is not present, the triangle platforms do not move, and the semisoft platform on the bottom is stationary and is completely centered.

This stage is loosely based on {{s|mariowiki|Peach's Castle}}, with its current design debuting in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', where it serves as the game's main hub and has appeared in numerous ''Mario'' titles since.
This stage is loosely based on various elements of {{s|mariowiki|Princess Peach's Castle}} from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', along with other elements from the game, such as: the bridges resemble the broken bridges that are in {{s|mariowiki|Cool, Cool, Mountain}}; and the design of the triangular-pyramidal platforms seen on the upper sides resemble platforms that have a similar circle pattern design, such as the starting platform of {{s|mariowiki|Bowser in the Dark World}}. Princess Peach's Castle can also be seen in the background, as well as, occasionally, {{s|mariowiki|Lakitu}}; however, Lakitu does not appear in ''SSB4''.
 
In ''Super Mario 64'', the castle is taken over by [[Bowser]], who takes control of the Power Stars and seals [[Princess Peach]] inside the fresco over the castle entrance. A {{s|mariowiki|Lakitu Bro.}}, a [[Lakitu]] with a camera at the end of its fishing pole, is first seen flying around Peach's Castle at the beginning of the game and follows [[Mario]] for the duration, who controls the camera and allows the player to toggle the view. After Mario defeats Bowser and collects all of the game's Power Stars, the cannon in the castle grounds is unlocked, which will allow the player to access the roof of the castle and find [[Yoshi]] and three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s there.
 
This stage features multiple elements taken from ''Super Mario 64''. The stage mainly takes place around a tower spire resembling the center tower spire on the roof of Peach's Castle. The red carpet staircases on each side of the main platform and the black-and-white checker pattern floor in the middle is similar to the carpeted staircases and the floor patterns found inside of the castle. The stage's background also features an aerial view of Peach's Castle.
 
The bridges are similar to those found in the {{s|mariowiki|Cool, Cool, Mountain}} course. The design of the triangular platforms in the upper corners are similar to the starting platform in the {{s|mariowiki|Bowser in the Dark World}} boss course.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros.'', a Lakitu Bro. will occasionally appear as a [[background character]].

==Tournament Legality==
==Tournament legality==
In ''Smash 64'', for a long period according to the old [[Tournament legal (SSB)|American ruleset]], Peach's Castle was usually considered a [[counterpick stage]] in singles. This is because of the inability to grab the [[edge]]s, meaning that some characters can be [[gimp]]ed or [[edgeguard]]ed much easier than usual, and because of the [[Bumper]] hazard and angled platforms on the side of the stage that can prevent [[KO]] moves that would have otherwise KO'd. However, the Bumper can be used for various unique combos, and can also be used by characters such as {{SSB|Pikachu}} to escape [[pressure]]. The stage is often [[counterpick]]ed by {{SSB|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSB|Kirby}} players, and the lack of edges that can be grabbed serves as a disadvantage to characters such as {{SSB|Link}} and {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}. However, most recently the stage was banned. In [[doubles]] tournaments, the stage is usually banned, due to the listed reasons above along with the fact that the stage is too small.

===''Super Smash Bros. 4''===
Unlike in ''SSB'', Peach's Castle has been banned since launch. Alongside the great advantage the stage provides some characters compared to others, there are also more legal stages to not consider the stage as potentially legal.
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
Peach's Castle remains banned in ''Ultimate'' for the same reasons as ''Smash 4''. There are also now even more stages, further distancing it as potentially legal.
