Castle Gardens

The Castle Gardens are a location in Super Mario Galaxy.
==Description==
The Castle Gardens are in the front of Princess Peach's Castle, replacing the Castle Grounds from Super Mario 64 and various other appearances. The area is inhabited by Toads, and it is lined with various buildings, lampposts with star-shaped lights, and a fountain. The Castle Gardens are also decorated with blue flags depicting stars, which are hung from lampposts, and multicolor banners depicting Mushrooms, strung from the top of buildings to lampposts to treetops.
==In Super Mario Galaxy==
The Castle Gardens are the first playable section, and it is the site of the Star Festival. Here, Mario can collect some of the Star Bits. Not long after Mario makes his way through the Castle Gardens, the area is attacked by Bowser and his airship fleet. In response to this, some of the Toads flee, while others end up trapped in Crystals. Mario attempts to enter Princess Peach's Castle to rescue Princess Peach, but she is abducted by Bowser, and Kamek blasts Mario to Gateway Galaxy. Following this, the Castle Gardens are inaccessible for the remainder of the main storyline.
In the ending, Mario awakes in the Castle Gardens, along with Bowser, Princess Peach, and various other characters Mario met in his journey. The last galaxy, the Grand Finale Galaxy, takes place in the Castle Gardens, and there is only one Power Star to collect, and this is by obtaining all 100 Purple Coins.
