'''Bowser Path''' (also known as the '''Bowser's Castle Path''')<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|language=en-us|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=56|date=September 14, 2009|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=978-0-307-46565-8}}</ref> is a road which leads to [[Bowser's Castle]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]]. It can be accessed by traveling northeast of [[Bumpsy Plains]].  The area contains many conveyor belts and requires the use of the [[sliding haymaker]]. [[Bowser]] saved his [[Shy Guy]] minions on Bowser Path and learned the [[Special Attack (Bowser)|Special Attack]] [[Shy Guy Squad]]. There are 10 [[bean]]s that can be unearthed on Bowser Path. The road ends in Bowser's treasure vault, located under his castle, which is where Bowser encounters the Fawful Express. This is also the last area where the Bros go to the [[Arm Center]].

==Prima Official Game Guide description==
*"''Bowser has almost made it to his castle. The path between the Bumpsy Plains and the front gate of the castle is guarded by many monsters, though, all of whom are under the influence of the wicked Fawful. Many fists must be thrown to brush aside the riffraff and knock on the front door. Fortunately, there are some trapped minions along the path that will be so appreciative of a rescue that they will enlist in Bowser's growing resistance.''"
