Fortresses or Forts are fortified buildings found in Super Mario Bros.. After reaching the Fortress, Mario or Luigi can advance to the next level. At the end of a world, a False Bowser can be faced.

In Super Mario Bros. 3, Fortresses are usually found in the middle of worlds. They are guarded by Boom Booms and must be defeated to gain access to other parts of the world. Later, in Super Mario World, Fortresses are guarded by Reznors and most of them are optional.

Forts are also boss levels in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They act like the miniboss levels of each world. All of these levels have the word fort in their name.

Forts are in their respectful remade games in Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World. In other words, the return in Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, and in Super Mario World.

The Fortresses later return in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii and reprise their roles from Super Mario Bros. as allowing to continue to the next level, with the exception of facing false bowser's. Instead, in the case of New Super Mario Bros. you faced Bowser Jr. or Bowser. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, you faced one of Bowser's children or Kamek

Appearances in Other Media

In the Mario Ice Capades, during the whole show, King Koopa rode a fort that was surprisingly a moving one. A fort also appeared in the background of the show as a prop.
