Description[]
The area is a maze-like set of hallways, each of them with different walls, floors and ceilings. Although it may seem inescapable, there are several double doors hidden in the walls.
Origins[]
The area is a direct import of an unused level (sm64/map/stage3/donjon/donjon_shape.sou) found in Super Mario 64's source code in the Nintendo gigaleak. Called "Stage3" or "donjon," the level is theorized to be a prototype of Peach's castle serving as a hub.[1]
"Donjon" is a Middle English word (pronounced like and related to "dungeon")[2] which refers to a castle keep or stronghold, usually a fortified tower at the center of the castle.[3] "Donjon" has been incorrectly described as the romanization of the Japanese word for "castle" or "great tower." While the Japanese word 天守閣 can be defined as a donjon or castle keep, it is romanized as "tenshukaku," not "donjon."[4]
In v0.4.7 and v0.4.8 the music playing was a remix of Birabuto Kingdom from Super Mario Land.
The music playing is the "Funhouse Version" of the "Inside Castle" theme from the vanilla game's OST. The instrument set was changed, and the song's pitch was lowered by 3 semitones.
