Unrevisitable area: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games, an '''unrevisitable area''' is any location which is inaccessible after a certain point. Unrevisitable areas are primarily found in ''Mario'' RPGs where the player is automatically taken to such places during the storyline and may contain items or accessories that [[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.

The short side-scrolling level at the beginning of the game cannot be replayed.

===''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''===

The vault in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] castle can only be visited twice; the first time right after meeting the Chancellor, and the second time during the [[Shyster]] invasion. After defeating [[Mack]], this room cannot be accessed again.

After defeating [[Culex]] in [[Monstro Town]], the room where he is fought cannot be visited.

[[Count Down]]'s room in the [[Gate (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Gate]] cannot be revisited after defeating it and leaving the area, as the springboard that takes Mario to this area now takes him to another area instead.

== ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' ==

Once the first seven bosses are defeated, [[Troff 'N' Scoff]]'s area is no longer accessible as the portal vanishes once that level's boss is defeated.

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

None of [[Bowser]]'s platforming stages can be revisited once they are cleared.

[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s [[Mario Bros.' House|house]] cannot be revisited after [[Toad]] reaches the bathroom, or [[Peach's Castle]] grounds after talking to [[Bowser]] to leave for the [[Beanbean Kingdom]].

The gates to the [[Guffawha Ruins]] are sealed after [[Bowletta]] kidnaps [[Princess Peach|Peach]], preventing the interior of the area from being accessed again, especially after the Mario Bros. obtain the [[Ultra Hammer]]s from the [[Hammerhead Bros.]] in their cave. The ledge with the yellow pipe in [[Little Fungitown]] then cannot be reached.

The [[S.S. Chuckola]] cannot be revisited once it heads out to sea and sinks in the [[Oho Ocean Seabed]].

The caverns where the [[Jellyfish Sisters]] teach the Mario Bros. their techniques cannot be accessed again after collecting both [[Pearl Bean]]s. In the remake, this area can be briefly revisited by practicing the [[Dash (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|dash]] and [[tickle]] moves in the guide.

In [[Beanbean Castle Town]], the northwestern, southwestern and southeastern houses 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 [[Popple]] and [[Birdo]] in [[Teehee Valley]]. At that point in the game, the northern double-entranced house and southeastern house in the eastern half cannot be entered again as well.

The non-transformed Peach's Castle in the past is not revisitable after [[Baby Bowser]] is defeated. The player cannot revisit the [[Koopa Cruiser]], where the player first learned how to control [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], after its crash landing into [[Bowser's Castle]]. The interior of [[Professor Elvin Gadd]]'s lab on [[Thwomp Volcano]] cannot be entered again after the fire is doused. The [[Shroob Mother Ship]] cannot be revisited after the four bros. are ejected from it. None of the tutorial courses can be revisited after completing them.

The last two areas in [[Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle]] where [[Dreamy Luigi]] fights [[Super Bowser|Giant 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.

== ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' / ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' ==

==''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''==

The [[Peach's Castle]] courtyard cannot be revisited after Mario and [[Rabbid Peach]] are taken by the [[Darkmess Manta]], which also cannot be revisited as it consists only of several tutorial battles, and thus not explorable at all. After defeating [[Cursa]], [[Cursa's stronghold]] disappears from the world map and can no longer be freely explored.
