Castle Calamity is a Flash video on Newgrounds, which is a compilation of skits featuring Mario trying to destroy the titular castle, while failing in many ways. This is based on the cutscene that appears after Mario defeats one of the Koopalings in Super Mario World, which shows him destroying the defeated Koopaling's castle.
The series consists of Mario, who attempts to destroy the castle using numerous methods, with his plans always backfiring. Many versions of this flash video have been released all around the internet, all in which have the same story: Mario always failing to take down the castle. There are also variations of this series with Mario trying to obtain or activate something, such as a mushroom or a switch.
In M.U.G.E.N, Castle Calamity has been made once by N64Mario inspired by the original Flash animation, where it is a bonus game.
N64Mario's version
Falling to surprise a character after minding their own business, it seems it's about time to destroy this castle. However, the plans seem to backfire, as the castle will fail to be destroyed, perhaps if the character destroys it off-screen. It is also possible to skip a scene by pressing a button if selection is turned on, which can be helpful for smaller characters, but you can also go back to the previous scenes or even restart the current scene.
