'''Peach's Castle''' ({{ja|ピーチ城上空|Pīchi-jō Jōkū}}, ''Above Peach Castle'') (Known as '''Peach's Castle (64)''' in [[Super Smash Bros. 4]]) from ''Super Mario 64'' is Mario & Luigi's home [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' In [[1P Game]], the player fights a team consisting of {{SSB|Mario}} and {{SSB|Luigi}} on this stage. Luigi is also fought here in his unlocking battle in the same game.

Even though this stage did not return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a portion of the music that plays on it plays during the cutscene where {{SSBM|Luigi}} takes {{SSBM|Mario}}'s place in ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]]. Additionally, a similar stage called [[Princess Peach's Castle]] was a playable stage in ''Melee''.  

Peach's Castle returned as [[downloadable content]] in both versions of ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' on July 31st, 2015, alongside [[Hyrule Castle]]. Like other returning stages from the [[Super Smash Bros.|first Smash game]], some of the textures are slightly higher in quality, but the general overall primitive look of the original is retained. Peach's Castle also returns as a familiar stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Peach's Castle has two main platforms, one on top of another. The top platform is a [[soft platform]] that slants upwards to the left, and downwards to the right. The bottom platform is a solid platform that slopes slightly downwards on both sides. The bottom platform partially comprises a block that moves left and right, which acts as a [[semisoft platform]]. On the top two corners, there are two floating, inward-angled platforms that move slowly up and down and prevent characters from being smashed away too easily. These platforms are very easy to DI off of as well.  

In ''Smash 64'', it is difficult for most characters to [[recover]] on this stage since the two floating platforms limit recovery to the top platform and there are no ledges that can be grabbed. The moving block platform on the bottom of the stage greatly aids recovery, but it isn't always on the side the player is on. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' however, fighters can now grab onto the bottom platforms.

In ''Super Mario 64'', the castle is taken over by [[Bowser]], who takes control of the Power Stars and seals [[Princess Peach]] inside the fresco over the castle entrance. After [[Mario]] defeats Bowser and collects all of the game's Power Stars, the cannon in the castle grounds is unlocked, which will allow the player to access the roof of the castle, which hides [[Yoshi]] and three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s.  

A {{s|mariowiki|Lakitu Bro.}}, a [[Lakitu]] with a camera at the end of its fishing pole, is first seen flying around Peach's Castle at the beginning of the game and follows Mario for the duration, who controls the camera and allows the player to toggle the view.

This stage features multiple elements taken from ''Super Mario 64''. The stage mainly takes place around a tower spire resembling the center tower spire on the roof of Peach's Castle. The red carpet staircases on each side of the main platform and the black-and-white checker pattern floor in the middle is similar to the carpeted staircases and the floor patterns found inside of the castle. The stage's background also features an aerial view of Peach's Castle.
