Unrevisitable area: Difference between revisions

'''Unrevisitable locations''' are locations in ''Mario'' games that are inaccessible after a certain point. Unrevisitable locations are primarily found in ''Mario'' RPGs where the player is automatically taken to such locations during the storyline and may contain items or accessories that [[List of missable content|can be missed]]. Some platformer games that allow the player to roam on world maps may contain stages that can only be accessed once on the world map, or near the beginning of the game.  

Due to the nature of linear games such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', they are not listed on this page.

The four switch palace levels, [[Yellow Switch Palace]], [[Green Switch Palace]], [[Red Switch Palace]] and [[Blue Switch Palace]], cannot be accessed after the player steps on the respective switches.

The [[Start]] stage cannot be accessed again through standard means after completing it.

Stages containing bosses cannot be accessed again after defeating the respective bosses in each zone unless the player runs out of lives which results in losing the [[Golden Coin]]s they have collected.

===''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''===

Course 10 in [[Mt. Teapot]] is replaced with Course 13, an altered version of itself, once the player hits the giant [[! Block]] in Course 12.

The tutorial level [[Welcome to Yoshi's Island]] cannot be revisited again after completing the level or exiting it from the menu. In ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', however, this level appears again at the end of the secret stage [[Endless World of Yoshis]].

===''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''===

The player cannot replay the short side-scrolling level at the beginning of the game.

After using the [[Rare Orb]]s to grant access to the [[Golden Temple]] and, by extension, the [[Cloud (world)|Cloud]] world, the Golden Temple will become the "Cloud Gateway" on the world map, and the player will not be able to replay the segment just before entering the temple. Instead, the player will be immediately transported to the Cloud world upon selecting the Cloud Gateway on the world map.

===''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''===

[[Bowser's Keep]] is locked out for the majority of the game until [[Mario]]'s party can visit it again via the [[Royal Bus]]. The layout of Bowser's Keep is replaced with an extended version upon this second visit. The player can no longer visit [[Count Down]]'s room in [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]] after defeating it.

After defeating the [[Koopa Bros.]] in Chapter 1, the large jail cell where Mario meets [[Bombette]] has its hole patched up and the player cannot revisit it. After defeating [[Fuzzipede]], the player can no longer navigate inside the [[Whale (character)|whale]]'s body. After the eruption of [[Mt. Lavalava]] at the end of Chapter 5, the bottom of the room just before [[Lava Piranha]]'s becomes unsuitable for Mario to walk on, preventing the player from accessing the chambers beyond. [[Madam Merlar]]'s cavern in [[Shiver Mountain]] becomes inaccessible after placing the [[Star Stone]] in the pedestal outside, causing flights of stairs to rise up and block the entrance.

====''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]]''====

The blue minor and major league rooms in the [[Glitz Pit]] Mario and his partner are locked in cannot be revisited after escaping from the toilet in the latter room during Chapter 3.   

The storage cabin and the rooftops of the Excess Express cannot be revisited after defeating [[Smorg]] in Chapter 6.

In the [[Palace of Shadow]] lies a hidden room connected to [[Gloomtail]]'s chamber by a passageway that can be accessed by blowing up the eastern wall with [[Bobbery]], which contains an [[Ultra Shroom]] and a [[Jammin' Jelly]]. Once the player places the [[Star Key]] in the pedestal in the [[Riddle Tower]], the floors of the four hallways leading to Gloomtail's chamber give way, preventing the player from accessing these rooms again.

Any of [[Bowser]]'s platforming stages cannot be revisited once cleared.

====''[[Super Paper Mario]]''====

After the [[Duel of 100]] is completed, all of Sammer's Kingdom after Gate 1 is sealed off and cannot be accessed again.

====''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''====

The airship near the entrance to the [[Crimson Tower]] cannot be revisited after Mario hits the airship's self-destruct switch with his [[hammer]].

The player cannot revisit Mario and [[Luigi]]'s house after the player reaches the bathroom when controlling Toad, or [[Princess Peach's Castle]] grounds after talking to [[Bowser]] to leave for the Beanbean Kingdom. The player can access the [[Koopa Cruiser]] only twice: the first visit just before reaching the front of the ship and battling [[Fawful]]; the second visit after [[Joke's End]] where Luigi navigates through the repaired ship in reverse order before collecting the [[Beanstar]]. The Mushroom Kingdom side of [[Stardust Fields]] is not accessible after crossing the border to the Beanbean Kingdom.  

In [[Beanbean Castle Town]] the northwestern, southwestern and southeastern buildings in the western half of the town are inaccessible when the player visits it for the first time, and become inaccessible again after the town's second destruction when the Mario Bros. return after defeating [[Rookie]] and [[Birdo]] in [[Teehee Valley]]. At that point in the game, the northern double-entranced and southeastern buildings in the eastern half cannot be entered again as well.  

The underground caverns beneath [[Chucklehuck Woods]] after defeating [[Chuckolator]] cannot be revisited after Luigi interacts with the barrel with Mario inside it. [[Guffawha Ruins]] cannot be revisited once [[Bowletta]] kidnaps [[Peach]]. The [[S.S. Chuckola]] cannot be revisited once it heads out to sea and sinks in the [[Oho Ocean Seabed]]. The player cannot revisit the caverns where the [[Jellyfish Sisters]] teach the Mario Bros. their techniques after collecting both [[Pearl Bean]]s.

====''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''====

The player cannot revisit the Koopa Cruiser when controlling [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]. The [[Shroob Mother Ship]] cannot be revisited after being ejected from it.

====''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''====

The last two areas in [[Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle|Bowser's Dream]] where [[Dreamy Luigi]] fights Dreamy Bowser become inaccessible after defeating the latter, as the cannon that leads to the first area no longer becomes functional, marked by a green X above it.

====''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''====

After defeating [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Paper Bowser Jr.]], Bowser's Castle in its regular state becomes inaccessible once it rises from its pool of lava and becomes [[Neo Bowser Castle (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Neo Bowser Castle]].

===''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''===

After defeating Bowser in {{world-link|8|bowserp|World 8-Bowser's Castle (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}}, the player faces him again with the [[Koopaling]]s in a multicolored void for the final battle. Once Bowser joins the player's team, the latter area cannot be revisited.
