Announced at [[E3]] 2001, '''Princess Peach's Castle''' ({{ja|ピーチ城|Pīchi-jō}}, ''Peach Castle'') is a [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is the roof of the castle as seen in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''. In ''Melee's'' [[All-Star Mode#Super Smash Bros. Melee|All-Star Mode]], this stage is played on when the player faces {{SSBM|Peach}} and any of her teammates. In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}} is fought here for his unlock battle, while in ''Ultimate'', {{SSBU|Peach}} is fought here for her unlock battle.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are suspended in the air with the main platform no longer extending below the [[blast line]]. The main platform is completely flat and is the same size and shape as {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. Switches no longer appear and Banzai Bill is absent. The main platform takes elements from Princess Peach's Castle, such as the roof being the floor and a gray brick structure as the walls. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form are based on the soft platforms that appear when the green switch is activated in the regular form.

{{s|mariowiki|Princess Peach's Castle}} debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', where it acts as the game's hub area and has appeared in numerous ''Mario'' titles since. The overall design of the castle in this stage is based on its appearance in ''Super Mario 64''; however, the very top spire has been removed and the castle itself has been scaled down. Some other elements which surround both the original castle and this version are a waterfall, some trees, a moat, and fences; however, the castle has much more water surrounding it than in ''Super Mario 64''.

The switches and {{s|mariowiki|! Block}}s in this stage are based on a combination of both ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World}}''{{'}}s {{s|mariowiki|! Switch}}es and ! Blocks, and the respective elements that reappear in ''Super Mario 64''; In ''Super Mario World'' the switches are hidden in some levels and have to be pressed to make the blocks appear in other levels, while the blocks release items when hit and allow the player access to secret parts of levels. However, the yellow switches and blocks that appeared in ''Super Mario World'' are absent in the stage: only the red, green and blue switches and blocks appear in this stage, instead matching the three ! Switches from ''Super Mario 64''. Unlike in ''Super Mario World'' and ''Super Mario 64'', where the different colors contain exclusive power-ups, in ''Smash Bros.'' the blocks contain random items instead. The switches in this stage also do not have an exclamation point on them, and are much smaller than in ''Super Mario World'' and ''Super Mario 64''.

While initially available in older ''Melee'' tournaments as a [[counterpick stage]], the stage is currently banned. The stage's large permanent walls can allow for infinites, especially [[Shine]] infinites from {{SSBM|Fox}}, and the Banzai Bills are deemed too disruptive for a fair competitive match. The walls can also promote camping, as they reduce how many angles players can attack each other.

;Princess Peach's Castle

''Princess Peach's magnificent royal castle appears to be inhabited solely by the princess and a multitude of Toads. Bowser tried to steal the castle's Power Stars in Super Mario 64, and in Paper Mario, the surly archfiend actually lifted the castle into the stratosphere with his own filthy fortress.''
