Our princess is in another castle!

"Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" is a quote from Super Mario Bros., a 1985 platform game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is stated by a non-player character after the player character (either Mario or Luigi) defeats what appears to be the game's antagonist, Bowser. This informs the player that the damsel in distress Princess Peach is elsewhere and the game is not over yet. The quote is repeated at the end of every castle level until the real Bowser is defeated in the final stage.

The line became one of the most famous quotes in video game history as well as an Internet meme. It has been referenced in multiple subsequent Mario games, either unironically or humorously. The quote has also been used ironically by critics to highlight the damsel in distress cliché in video games.
