Fortress

Fortresses are a recurring type of location in the . They first appear in Super Mario Bros..
== In ==
===Super Mario Bros.===
A fortress is placed behind a Flag Pole in most levels. They are made up of brown bricks. When Mario or Luigi enter into a Fortress, the remaining time counts down, adding to the score. They can then progress to the next level.
In the third level of a world, a castle instead appears behind the Flag Pole, as the last level of a world takes place within a castle. From the outside, a castle is shown to be made up of the same brown bricks as fortresses, but are a lot larger than them.
===Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels===
Fortresses have the same role as in Super Mario Bros., but with a slight graphical enhancement.
===Super Mario Bros. 3===
Specific fortresses known as Mini-Fortresses appear in several of the worlds, all featuring a boss fight against Boom Boom at the end.
===Super Mario World===
Fortress levels make an appearance like in Super Mario Bros. 3, but there are fewer of them. Mario or Luigi now have to fight Reznors at the end of a fortress level.
===New Super Mario Bros. series===
Like in Super Mario Bros., a fortress appears after the Flag Pole at the end of each level. Meanwhile, Towers fill in for the fortress levels in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.
===The Super Mario Bros. Movie===
A Fortress once again appears in the movie, where Mario finds himself from Brooklyn to the Mushroom Forest.
