'''Bowser Castle 1''' is a race course from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', appearing as the fourth race of the [[Mushroom Cup]]. It was subsequently reused in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' as the fourth track of the [[Classic course#Mario Kart: Super Circuit|Extra Mushroom Cup]]. It is a stone road residing in a pool of lava. The music for this course (and [[Bowser Castle 2|subsequent]] [[Bowser Castle 3|Bowser Castle]] courses) is a variation of [[Bowser]]'s battle theme from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Other than ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', this is the only course in the Mushroom Cup in ''Super Mario Kart'' not to return as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' and the only one that has yet to return as a classic course in any later ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' game.

==''Super Mario Kart''==
The most dangerous obstacles are the [[Thwomp]]s. They appear in groups of four. The Thwomps stay in the air during the first lap, then try to crush the players afterwards. They can also be a simple barrier on the ground. Another danger is the lava. There are gaps of lava that can be crossed with use of the yellow [[jump]] lines. If the player jumps in the wrong direction, however, it is possible to fall into the lava. There is no real shortcut in this course, however the player may use the zippers halfway on the track. Since they are not used by computer drivers, it can help to pass them and save time.
===Course layout===
[[File:SMK Bowser Castle 1 Screenshot.png|thumb|left|Bowser racing on the course in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'']]
As with the other Bowser Castle tracks, Bowser Castle 1 is composed entirely of straightaways and 90° turns. There are also [[Thwomp]]s as obstacles, which always appear in groups of four and remain airborne on the first lap. The course begins with a brief straight followed by a left turn and the only set of [[? Panel]]s. There is then a straightaway with the first row of Thwomps. Racers then take a left turn followed by a straightaway which has three [[Dash Panel|zippers]] on alternating sides of the track. After two more left turns, the first of which has more Thwomps, racers use three wide jump pads to cross over the lava; just before the last jump pad is another row of Thwomps. Racers then take two right turns and use another three jump pads to cross over the lava. Afterwards there is two more left turns, the first of which has one last group of Thwomps, and racers reach the finish line soon after.


==''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''==
The course reappears again in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. It is the fourth and final course of the [[Extra Cup|Extra Mushroom Cup]]. It uses the background appearing in [[GBA Bowser's Castle 1|that game's own Bowser Castle 1]]. It has an extra item box to the right of the bend that comes before the first lava hops. The Thwomps and zippers are not present in this version of the track.

==Trivia==
*The music for this course (and [[Bowser Castle 2|subsequent]] [[Bowser Castle 3|Bowser Castle]] courses) is a variation of [[Bowser]]'s battle theme from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
*This is the only course in the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''Super Mario Kart'' that has yet to return to ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Like the other [[Bowser Castle 2|Bowser Castle]] [[Bowser Castle 3|courses]], it is also the only course in the aforementioned cup to not reappear in a later ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' game as a [[classic course]].
