Larry's Castle

#7 Larry's Castle is the seventh castle of Super Mario World. It is the last Koopaling castle in the game. It can be accessed through either the completion of the level Valley of Bowser 4, or through the secret exit of Valley Ghost House. 
== Layout ==
This level starts with a moving snake platform (which Mario must follow) that goes all throughout the first room. In the first room, the player will encounter Ball 'n' Chains and spikes. When the raft reaches the top of the level with a door on the right, the player may choose to take the door, or to stay on the raft. If the player stays on the raft, he will see a midpoint section, two Dragon Coins and a Super Mushroom. The door on the right of that section will lead to the same room as the door above. In the second room, the player will see Dry Bones, Magikoopas and a few Podoboos. The yellow blocks are walls, and the player either needs to swing them with a Cape Feather, or allow the Magikoopa to break them. If the Magikoopa breaks a yellow block, it will turn into a Yellow Koopa Troopa, a Thwimp, or a 1-Up Mushroom. Before the final red door, there is a Green ! Block, which gives the player a Cape Feather.
Notably, the first part of this level can be heavily exploited in order to skip most of the difficult parts of the level. At the beginning of the level, when the snake platform moves horizontally after making stairs, if the player goes to the snake's head, runs to the left then jumps when below the above platform, it is possible to land on this solid platform and skip close to half of this part of the level. Furthermore, standing on some of the upper independent Ball 'n' Chains' blocks during the snake platform's first round of the level allows the player to remain on these blocks without taking damage and jump back on board during its second round of the level.
== Boss Battle ==
Larry Koopa operates the same as Iggy Koopa back in Yoshi's Island with a platform tilting to the left and the right. only this time, three Podoboos shoot up from the lava. Knock Larry Koopa into the Lava.
== Ending Message ==
After setting the egg down, Mario picks up the castle and kicks it off the screen. The text then reads:
Mario has defeated Larry Koopa in castle #7. All that is left is Bowser’s Castle where Princess Toadstool is being held. Can Mario rescue her and restore peace to Dinosaur Land?
