Inside Top-Hat Tower is a sub-world in Cap Kingdom that is used to reach the top of Top-Hat Tower in the overworld. The level is intended to be traversed by capturing a frog and using its high jumps to scale multiple tall ledges.

Trivia

  • Using a trick known as Frogless, it is possible to scale the entire level without capturing any frogs, using only Mario's core movement abilities.
    • Capturing one of the frogs halfway up the level will not cause the original frog capture cutscene to play, unlike the frogs at the bottom of the level.
    • Similar movement tricks can also be used to collect both clusters of regional coins that appear in the level upon revisiting the kingdom. The cluster halfway through the level can be easily collected using a homing upthrow, while the area above the start of the level with the remaining four regional coins can be reached using the invisible blocks along the right side of the wall.
  • The walls surrounding the level have collision and can be wall jumped on by jumping to them from the top of the level.[1]
  • Surface clips can be used to clip through the walls adjacent to the ramps leading into the shallow water ponds.[2]
  • The very tall wall at the end of the level has collision on top, but there is no known way to reach the top of it.[3]
