Peach's Castle (board)

"I bid a hex on that hideous abomination! Those pastel tones demand atonement! Castles ought to be sinister, like that o'er which I minister!"

- Dragonlord

Peach's Castle is a game board in Itadaki Street DS and Fortune Street, based on the location of the same name. Its background music in both games is an arrangement of "Hello, Happy Kingdom" from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Itadaki Street DS
Peach's Castle is one of the boards in Itadaki Street DS, featuring Peach's Castle and some grassy hills in the background. In this game, the castle resembles its appearance from Paper Mario. It serves as the board used in the tutorial. Its layout during the tutorial resembles the outline of a mushroom. In Tour mode, it is the second board played in Luigi's scenario where the player competes against Luigi, Wario, and Pudding. Completing the scenario allows it to be used in Free Play mode.

Fortune Street
Peach's Castle returns as one of the Mario series boards in the sequel to Itadaki Street, Fortune Street. The board is slightly changed in terms of structure from its original appearance in the previous game. The castle itself is now based on its appearance from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In Easy Rules, the board resembles the letter P with and extra line in the middle of the loop of the P with an extra line next to the stem which is connected by a space at the bottom and the top. In Standard Rules, it is a short, wide rectangle with a tall square in the middle of the rectangle. This board layout is based off Hemisphere from Itadaki Street 2.

In Tour mode, the player has to place at least second against Princess Peach, Wario, and Bowser. Clearing this board allows Peach to be selected as a CPU player in Free Play, or in the case of With Friends, be selected as a human player, in both rulesets.
