Princess Peach’s Castle is the residence of the Mushroom Kingdom's Ruler. Located near Toad Town, it is an icon of the Kingdom as a whole. It is often renovated, mostly because of damages sustained during invasions, though sometimes just for fun.
History
Before Peach’s reign
Rosalina grew up in the Mushroom Kingdom castle. Even back then, it had a recognizable design, with its silhouette having two pairs of towers with a much taller tower in the center.
Yoshi's Island DS
While sleeping on the tallest tower of the castle, Baby Peach was suddenly taken away by a Toadie to the distress of whoever her caretaker was.
Despite only being seen from one angle, a lot can be gleaned from the castle's design. The castle was likely surrounded by a ring of water, the walls keeping the outer ground made likely out of some type of stone. The wooden bridge leading to the entrance are paired with small towers designed after the castle's own towers.
In terms of colors, the walls are bricked yellow with the conical roofs being plated with pink fish scale tiles. Outside of that, large shrubbery outside of the castle can also be seen growing.
Some time later, Baby Peach was brought back home after a long adventure.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (Past)
During a scuffle between Baby Mario and Baby Bowser, their fight was suddenly cut off due to the sudden invasion of the Shroobs, an alien race that began their invasion by attacking the castle and turning it into Shroob Castle.
A full frontal look of the castle shows that the castle's triangular flags on top of the towers are a red-toned mushroom. Speaking of towers, there are 7 of them; 4 lower ones close to the center, 2 medium-height with windows on the conical roof facing away from eachother, and a central tower with the window on the roof facing forward. The latter three towers hold the aforementioned flags.
Below the central tower is another rectangular building with three arched windows with pink accents surrounding them. The pink fish scale plating is present, but only on the roof of that rectangular building as the same bricking method used on the walls is shared with the conical roofs of the towers themselves. An area with what looks like a green carpet can be seen in front of the building that connects to the two medium-height tower's openings.
To the front of the castle, below that path holds another protrusion with a pink gable roof and an arched window in front of it. Finally, surrounding the castle itself are tall pink walls filled with greenery such as shrubs and trees, with another opening in the front leading to Toad Town.
The interior of the castle itself is not shy of mushroom iconography, with mushrooms outlining the purple in the red-yellow-purple-orange carpets, double-doors shaped like a mushroom with mushroom reliefs carved around those doors, the white marble's pattern hiding a mushroom, mushroom-shaped windows in the throne room, and mushroom-shaped lamps surrounding the pillar stands surrounding the throne room.
The throne itself also can't stop referencing mushrooms, with the center icon of this yellow seat being a mushroom, and above it a pair of blue mushrooms with a center yellow one placed just above the throne.
When invaded by the Shroobs, the castle was completely overhauled with Shroob imagery and decor. Their defeat at the hands of the Mario Bros. of present and future lead to the repair of the castle back to how it once was.
Super Mario Bros. 3
While not seen in the NES original, the interior of the castle was seen in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. The walls and pillars were again pink, with a more simplified rectangular window and the floor being orange. Between each pillar is a tapestry with a simple orange-yellow diamond pattern with white accents outside the tapestry, and red curtains on the top.
Super Mario RPG
Mario's return from Bandit's Way saw the Mushroom Castle overtaken by the Smithy Gang's own Claymorton.
The castle gained a complete visual overhaul. Still retaining the fish scale tiling on the roofs, but they were now blue instead of the usual pink. And yellow flags hung over a number of the towers, of which there were now 9.
The style of the castle forgoes the mushroom imagery to look even more like a European castle than before, with grey bricks layered underneath pristine white brick patterning. The windows turned more gothic, with pointed arch windows replacing the more soft arched endings. The support beams decorating is a spiral, its garnet coloring shared with the wooden support lined up in each room.
What's been newly established in this iteration of the castle is Peach's Room, a white bedroom with a gold-accented fireplace and a pink frilly bed with a blue chair with golden accents, a guest room with another fireplace and a blue simpler bed, and a vault room with just three treasure chests.
The throne room is built for the throne itself to be placed high above the subjects, the throne itself simply being a golden chair with blue cushioning and a lot of royal accenting and decorations.
Turtle Bridge (Modern)
What's most likely the Mushroom Castle appears in this event wherein Toad must deliver presents from Mario to Princess Peach.
The realistic bricking pattern of the walls has turned from a white color to a pure black
Chef (Modern)
For the first time, the castle of the castle can be seen. The walls have now been changed to a yellow coloring, with red supports now lining up the walls. The window curtains are now a yellow coloring. And the floor is in a green-light green checkerboard pattern.
As for what might be the exterior, it's shown the roofs are now a mansard red one and the exterior bricks have turned white. Rectangular windows with tinier windows above are seen lined up along the walls and towers, of which three can be seen and are of equal height. The only exception to this rectangular window patterning is the center entrance protrusion due to the windows ending on a more circular top.
Fire (Modern)
This area of the castle was under attack by a raging fire inside, with the people inside needing to evacuate. Luckily, Mario & Luigi has their trampolines to safely escort those in danger inside the care stationed outside.
This area of the castle is once again lined up with white brick walls with a square opening with round edges at the entrance. The more orange tint of the conical roofs can also be seen accenting the walkable extensions of the towers.
Oddly enough, the farthest tower seen has a cupola-like dome roof on the end, though it's grey while the surrounding walls are orange.
Mario's Tennis
The castle can be seen as the court background piece at the end of a tournament.
The castle has been simplified back into being a pair of towers with the central one hanging the tallest. Flags on each tower can also be seen. It also appears that the entrance to the castle is superseded by a climb upwards a flight of stairs.
Mario Party 2
Despite not being the castle itself, what looks to be a replica of the castle can be seen in Mario Land's Mystery Land area.
The iconic pair of low-hanging towers with a taller tower can certainly be seen despite the fog and trees covering up most of the detail.
Wrecking Crew '98
Peach's Castle can clearly be seen from the front and has seen a full renovation.
While keeping the white bricking, the main building now supports a pair of bartizan towers with orange triangular roofs with white triangular flags that ends with a red triangle at the end point. The main building is a mansard roof, with a tower in the middle with at least two layers, each layer getting a smaller tower with another orange roof and a window.
Speaking of the wooden windows, they're now nearly circular, with a light bump underneath. A pair of four windows can be seen on the main building, with one window being set on each bartizan.
The newest thing added to the castle is a gabled pentagon-shaped extension showing a stained glass portrait of Princess Peach herself. The painting was created as a response to the repeated absence of Princess Peach, with the new portrait bringing comfort to the Mushroom Kingdom citizens whenever the Princess wasn't around.[1]
Finally, the castle itself seems to be surrounded by water, with the bridge itself being made of stone. The outside area is surrounded by a wooden fence, with a dirt road visible close to the castle.
Mario Party 3
Paper Mario
Super Mario 64
Appearance
Despite frequently changing appearance, some aspects of the castle remain intact, keeping it recognizable.
