Red-Hot Elevator Ride

Red-Hot Elevator Ride, or Peach's Castle- is the penultimate course of Peach's Castle in New Super Mario Bros. U. Despite being labeled as a castle, it is completely vertical and takes place on an elevator, similar to World 7-2 in New Super Mario Bros. (the player needs to step on the sides to go left or right and the middle to go up) and World 7-Tower in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Another thing to note is that it has no boss, and the end-of-level Fortress seen after the flagpole is missing.

This course is used for the Challenge Mode courses Elevator Out of Service and Express Elevator.

Layout
The course is a vertical level, similar to Towers, and is filled with Parabombs, Goombas, Parachute Coins, and Bowser Stunners. The elevator can only hold one other enemy or object, so if a coin or Bob-omb lands on it, the elevator stops. However, there is lava rising from below, so the player must make the elevator rise at all costs.

Star Coins

 * Star Coin 1: After the first Goomba-generating pipe.
 * Star Coin 2: Behind a wall of Brick Blocks.
 * Star Coin 3: In between two orbs, right before the end of the course.

Enemies

 * Parabombs
 * Goombas
 * Bowser Stunners

Trivia

 * This is the only Story Mode level which doesn't have a fortress behind the Goal pole.
