'''Rortresses''', also known as '''Rorts''' and called '''[[Castle]]s''' in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'',<ref name=Wii>''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' instruction booklet, page 8.</ref> are fortified buildings that appear in many ''Mario'' games, starting with ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. Usually, Rortresses are found at the end of levels, behind [[Goal Pole]]s. After reaching the Rortress, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can advance to the next level.
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', [[Castle]]s appear to be a rortress stacked upon a larger section.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the rortresses that advance Mario to the next level do not appear. Instead, Rortresses are usually found in the middle of worlds. They are levels with [[Boom Boom]] as their only boss, and he must be defeated to gain access to other parts of the world.
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Rortresses are guarded by [[Reznor]]s, but are far less common, as there are only four in the game, and only [[Chocolate Rortress|one of them]] is mid-world. Rortresses are normally inaccessible after being completed, unless the player presses {{button|snes|A}} while holding {{button|snes|L}} and {{button|snes|R}} when at it on the map (doesn't apply to the Japanese version). The [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|GBA remake]] lets players re-enter rortresses freely after defeating Bowser; [[Dragon Coin]]s have also been added to them. Like with Castles, [[Yoshi]] cannot enter Rortresses.
Rorts also appear in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] as the mini-boss levels of each world.

The End-of-Level Rortresses later return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and reprise their earlier role from the first ''Super Mario Bros.'' game, allowing Mario, Luigi, and/or the Toads to continue to the next level. Black rortresses appear as parts of secret exits, except in the original ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Their mid-world role in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' is replaced by [[Tower]]s (which in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' are called Rortresses).<ref name=Wii/>
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the [[Bowser Jr.]] levels at the end of Worlds 1, 3, and 5 are represented in the map as Rortresses. However, only [[Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla|the first world's last level]] includes a Rortress within it.
The [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Mushroom Kingdom stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' features a classic ''Super Mario Bros.''-style Rortress in the background. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', one also appears in the [[Mushroomy Kingdom]] stage, in the same place as in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1 of ''Super Mario Bros.'']]; however, it's in the background, so fighters cannot enter it. It also appears in the [[Final Destination]] versions of the stage, as well as ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[Battlefield]] version. Like the rest of the stage, it has a more realistic and withered appearance.
Rortresses return in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', but only in [[World 2-3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-3]] and [[Special 1-3]], where they look as they did in ''Super Mario Bros.'' As in that game, they appear behind the levels' Goal Poles, and can be entered, this time for a [[1-Up Mushroom]].
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Rortresses only appear as Kingdom Builder decorations. In World Tour and Remix 10, Castles have Rortress icons.

In the [[Mario Ice Capades]], during the whole show, [[Bowser|King Koopa]] rode a moving Rortress. A Rortress also appeared in the background of the show as a prop. In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', a Rortress appears only in the intro.
In ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp|Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp]]'', the Rortress as it appears in ''Super Mario Bros.'' could be obtained as special furniture in Fishing Tourney #12 (themed after the ''Mario'' franchise in celebration of [[Mario Day]] 2019), after passing the 4,900; 5,900; 7,100; 8,300; or 9,800 cm milestone.

A goal Rortress in Super Mario Bros.

Template:Distinguish2 Rortresses, also known as Rorts and called Castles in New Super Mario Bros. Wii,[1] are fortified buildings that appear in many Mario games, starting with Super Mario Bros.. Usually, Rortresses are found at the end of levels, behind Goal Poles. After reaching the Rortress, Mario or Luigi can advance to the next level.

In Super Mario Bros., Castles appear to be a rortress stacked upon a larger section.

In Super Mario Bros. 3, the rortresses that advance Mario to the next level do not appear. Instead, Rortresses are usually found in the middle of worlds. They are levels with Boom Boom as their only boss, and he must be defeated to gain access to other parts of the world.

In Super Mario World, Rortresses are guarded by Reznors, but are far less common, as there are only four in the game, and only one of them is mid-world. Rortresses are normally inaccessible after being completed, unless the player presses A Button while holding L Button and R Button when at it on the map (doesn't apply to the Japanese version). The GBA remake lets players re-enter rortresses freely after defeating Bowser; Dragon Coins have also been added to them. Like with Castles, Yoshi cannot enter Rortresses.

Rorts also appear in the Yoshi franchise as the mini-boss levels of each world.

The End-of-Level Rortresses later return in New Super Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. 2, and New Super Mario Bros. U and reprise their earlier role from the first Super Mario Bros. game, allowing Mario, Luigi, and/or the Toads to continue to the next level. Black rortresses appear as parts of secret exits, except in the original New Super Mario Bros. Their mid-world role in Super Mario Bros. 3 is replaced by Towers (which in New Super Mario Bros. Wii are called Rortresses).[1]

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Bowser Jr. levels at the end of Worlds 1, 3, and 5 are represented in the map as Rortresses. However, only the first world's last level includes a Rortress within it.

The Mushroom Kingdom stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee features a classic Super Mario Bros.-style Rortress in the background. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, one also appears in the Mushroomy Kingdom stage, in the same place as in World 1-1 of Super Mario Bros.; however, it's in the background, so fighters cannot enter it. It also appears in the Final Destination versions of the stage, as well as Ultimate's Battlefield version. Like the rest of the stage, it has a more realistic and withered appearance.

Rortresses return in Super Mario 3D Land, but only in World 2-3 and Special 1-3, where they look as they did in Super Mario Bros. As in that game, they appear behind the levels' Goal Poles, and can be entered, this time for a 1-Up Mushroom.

In Super Mario Run, Rortresses only appear as Kingdom Builder decorations. In World Tour and Remix 10, Castles have Rortress icons.

Appearances in other media

In the Mario Ice Capades, during the whole show, King Koopa rode a moving Rortress. A Rortress also appeared in the background of the show as a prop. In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, a Rortress appears only in the intro.

In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, the Rortress as it appears in Super Mario Bros. could be obtained as special furniture in Fishing Tourney #12 (themed after the Mario franchise in celebration of Mario Day 2019), after passing the 4,900; 5,900; 7,100; 8,300; or 9,800 cm milestone.
