Other Uses[edit]
This track is heard when fighting either False Peach or Zelda in The Lake Shore and both false princesses together in Battleship Halberd Interior. It is also heard in The Great Maze when fighting False Peach and, unusually, Pit, despite the fact that he does not have any relationship with the Super Mario universe.
Trivia[edit]
- In a beta screenshot on the Smash Bros. DOJO!!, it can be seen that this track was originally going to play in Delfino Plaza, but in the final game, the track was put in the Luigi's Mansion stage. This scenario would later be realizable by players in Ultimate due to that game organizing songs by franchise rather than just by stage.
- In beta versions of Brawl, this track went under the much more simple title of Castle Music/Fortress Boss.

Other Uses[edit]
In the Subspace Emissary, this track plays during scenes involving Bowser and also while fighting Petey Piranha, False Bowser, Giant False Diddy Kong, and Wario. In The Great Maze, the track also plays while fighting Petey Piranha, False Mario, Bowser, Yoshi, and Wario. Despite the latter two using this track for their battles instead of Yoshi and Wario songs, respectively, this does not count as having music outside of their own series, as they are still considered Mario characters. When the track plays here, the short timpani intro is removed. Even if Luigi's Mansion is not unlocked, this track will still play.
