- “Ohhh ho ho ho... Isn't this fun! The Flower Castle is me, and I'm the Flower Castle! Soooo much Wonder power! I can feel myself getting stronger...and stronger...AND STRONGER. Soon, everything will be mine! Gwahahaha!”
- —Castle Bowser, Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Castle Bowser is a form that Bowser takes on in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and serves as the main antagonist of the game. The form is the combination of Bowser, his Koopa Clown Car, and the Flower Castle (Prince Florian's castle), created when Bowser comes into contact with a Wonder Flower in the game's opening cutscene. He has a green, round body with his face all across the front and lime green horns at the sides. Atop is an altered version of the Flower Castle with a top section resembling Bowser's head, albeit with the hair piece being significantly enlarged.
After his transformation, Castle Bowser travels across the Flower Kingdom wreaking havoc, imprisoning Poplins in their houses by turning them into fortresses, and stations in the center of the Petal Isles.
When six Royal Seeds are collected, Castle Bowser invites Mario and his friends onto him to face four more challenges, concluding with a final boss fight against him, with Bowser taking on the form of the head of the castle on top. After the game is completed, Bowser, the Koopa Clown Car and the Flower Castle are separated.
