Peach's Castle is a game board in Itadaki Street DS and Fortune Street, based on the location of the same name. Its background music in both games is an arrangement of "Hello, Happy Kingdom" from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
History[edit]
Itadaki Street DS[edit]
Peach's Castle is one of the boards in Itadaki Street DS, featuring Peach's Castle and some grassy hills in the background. In this game, the castle resembles its appearance from Paper Mario. It serves as the board used in the tutorial. Its layout during the tutorial resembles the outline of a mushroom. In Tour mode, it is the second board played in Luigi's scenario where the player has to place at least second against Luigi, Wario, and Pudding. Initially, there are three sections in the board where the section with the bank is the largest section. This section has warp squares that connect to the other two sections. If a player lands on a switch square, all three sections become connected. Activating the switch again separates the sections. Completing the scenario allows the board to be used in Free Play mode, unlocks Wario as a possible opponent, and gives the player the Shy Guy mask and Shy Guy clothes cosmetics.

Fortune Street[edit]
Peach's Castle returns as one of the Super Mario franchise boards in Fortune Street. The castle itself is now based on its appearance from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In standard rules, the board is made up of interconnected rectangles which makes the board wide. This layout is taken from Street 7: Hidari Hankyū from Itadaki Street 2. In easy rules, the board resembles the letter P with and extra line in the middle of the loop of the P with an extra line next to the stem which is connected by a space at the bottom and the top.
In Tour mode, the player has to place at least second against Princess Peach, Wario, and Bowser. Clearing this board allows Peach to be selected as a CPU player in Free Play, or in the case of With Friends, be selected as a human player, in both rulesets.
