Layout[edit]
The player starts at the top of a small set of stairs withDry Bones at the bottom. Continuing down the hall, the player will come across Thwomps and more Dry Bones, as well as a Boo after the second Thwomp. Past the Boo is aWarp Pipe that will take the player to the floor above, which has a Thwomp over a row ofspikes. Afterward is a series of Thwomps the player must dodge in order to reach the door at the end of the hall. The next room has platforms covered with spikes that continuously raise and lower, along with two Boos placed above. The door after the fourth platform will also raise and lower accordingly, and will take the player toBoom Boom's room when they go through it. Defeating Boom Boom by jumping on his head three times will clear the fortress level and unlock aLocked Door below on the map to aWarp Pipe and aToad House.
In the NES version of this level, everything in this level except the pipe, the power-up, and the dark parts of Boom Boom's skin is gray.
