Bastille

The Bastille is a now-defunct prison located in Paris, France.

It appeared in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Super Koopa". Bowser had managed to capture Mario, Luigi and a submarine captain, all of whom he threw into a cell in the Bastille, where a Sledge Bro. guarded them.

Luigi attempted to dig out of the cell using a spoon, but was unsuccessful. Toad, having received a message from Princess Toadstool, put on a disguise to enter into the Bastille, so that he could sneak in a birthday cake to Mario and Luigi. Inside the cake was a Brick Block containing a Super Leaf, which Mario used to become Raccoon Mario. As Raccoon Mario, he was able to break out of the cell with his tail.
