As you enter Super Nintendo World through the green warp pipe, you find yourself coming out right in the heart of Princess Peach's Castle.

In here, you see a beautiful mosaic floor, sky ceiling, gold columns and paintings on the walls.

They start out as one thing then transform into scenes that explain the underlying story of the land. Bowser Jr. has stolen the Golden Mushroom and it's up to you to help recover it for Princess Peach. You will need to take on the rogue's minions and secure keys, then you'll need to face off with Bowser Jr. in a fun Final Boss challenge.

Fans of Mario over the years might find something familiar about the way the paintings transform from Goombas and Bob-ombs. The ripple effect and paintings themselves are reminiscent of Mario 64; another perfect nod to past Mario games for superfans.
