World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. 2)

is the Castle in World 1 in New Super Mario Bros. 2.
== Layout ==
This castle level is filled with lava and includes Podoboos. Mario or Luigi must traverse through this castle by grabbing on tightropes whilst avoiding Podoboos or spiked platforms, as well as swinging from ropes. The castle level also features Dry Bones and Thwomps to avoid. This castle level has a total of 230 coins, excluding ones from Coin Blocks or additional coins from Gold Mario or Silver Luigi.
=== Boss battle ===
Mario or Luigi will fight Roy Koopa at the end. His fight works in a similar fashion to Super Mario World, as Roy charges towards the player and the walls begin to close in. Roy can be stunned if he charges into the walls and allowing him to jumped on, or the player can just jump on him anytime when he is not spinning in his shell. After being jumped on, he'll begin shooting purple magic blasts from his wand before charging again. To defeat him, Roy needs to take 3 total hits from jumps, Ground Pounds, 18 fireballs or 3 gold or silver fireballs. Defeating Roy gives Mario or Luigi the key to go to World 2.
== Star Coins locations ==
* Star Coin 1: After climbing by the rope, you will have to get past the fire enemies (Podoboos) where you see the first star coin near the lava. A platform will appear and it's for getting the star coin so you can drop and collect it.
* Star Coin 2: When you are near the checkpoint, there are hidden blocks to hit. Get on top of them and will see a visible question mark box to hit. You can only get this coin if you have Super Mario on (collected mushroom). You then have to hit the block to get a Tanooki Mario ability then fly over until you see and reach the second coin.
* Star Coin 3: You will see a giant Thwomp, which is 5 by 5 in blocks. He has to fall down twice to break the blocks then you can go under the platform to grab the third and final coin.
