Peach's Castle (ピーチ城上空, Pīchi-jō jōkū, Above Peach's Castle) from the Super Mario 64 is Mario & Luigi's home stage in Super Smash Bros. It does not return in Super Smash Bros. Melee. In 1P Game, the player fights a Mario and Luigi team on this stage. It is considered legal in tournament play as sole counterpick stage in SSB, though only in the USBR64 rule set. While it is a counterpick, it is rarely played due to the prevalence of Dream Land and Hyrule but it is an occasional counterpick by Donkey Kong, Mario, and Yoshi mains, especially vs. Link users. The stage is labeled a counterpick due to the inability to grab ledges, the bumper hazard, and the angled platforms on the left and right which prevents KOs and is banned for similar reasons in Japans. It is also a rare doubles stage due to the small size and stage hazards. There are some tournaments which instead ban this stage in doubles and prefer Saffron City.
Even though this stage does not appear in Super Smash Bros. Melee, a portion of the music that plays on it plays during the cutscene where Luigi takes Mario's place in Melee's Adventure Mode.
Origin
This stage's elements come from Super Mario 64. The stage takes place in the sky above Peach's Castle; in the background, it can be seen that Peach's Castle is very far below the actual stage. The sign seen on the lower level is also from the game, and the bridges likely are inspired by the broken bridges seen in the Cool, Cool Mountain course. The triangular-pyramidal platforms seen on the upper sides of the stage resemble the ones seen in stages with dangerous ground, like Lethal Lava Land, which moves around in accordance to Mario's placing. Unlike said platforms, these ones do not move at all, let alone are not activated by weight.
The music is a remixed version of the original Super Mario Bros. theme. It can also be heard in Melee during the cutscene in Adventure Mode before the fight with Luigi, though the track is absent in the Sound Test.
Layout
Peach's Castle has two main platforms, one on top of another. It is possible to fall through the top platform. The bottom platform partially comprises a block going left to right. On the top two corners there are two floating, inward-angled platforms that prevent people from being smashed away too easily. These platforms are very easy to DI off of as well. It has a floating Bumper on the middle above the second platform of the stage. This bumper moves slightly left and right (it remains stationary on 1P Mode though). It is harder to recover from this stage since the two floating platforms limit recovery to the top platform and there are no ledges (besides the moving black platform on the bottom of the stage which isn't always on the side the player is on).

Trivia
- While this stage's music isn't officially present in Melee's soundtrack, it does appear in a cutscene where Luigi footstools Mario and fights the challenger in his place.
