'''Bowser's Castle''' is the third course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. Unlike previous Bowser's Castle courses, it strongly resembles a haunted mansion inside. It features spiderwebs, lava pillars and [[Lava Geyser|geyser]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, and stairs. This course later returns as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[New Year's 2022 Tour]].

The second portion of this course's music covers the [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart: Double Dash!!)|Bowser's Castle]] theme from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''

This course starts off on a separate platform with a ramp to glide into Bowser's Castle. There are two entrances, an upper level and a lower level if the upper level is missed while gliding. The two levels have a set of stairs with Thwomps and inclining slopes that lead into one room filled with lava pools and sharp turns. Past that room is a wide wooden [[Turning Floor]] that leads to a [[Underwater driving|lake filled with water]], with some pipes pouring lava and lava-filled edges. Afterward, racers return to land along a cliff side, passing by lava waterfalls as the racers drive. At the end of the outdoor section is a sharp wide turn that ends with a [[Glide Ramp]] leading to the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]], with a giant ring in the air suspended over the one on the ground highlighting this. The ramp allows for side paths to be taken on laps 2 and 3, which split into two to allow both levels of the castle to be reached. 3DS Bowser's Castle is the only Bowser's Castle course in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series with an underwater section.
