'''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 [[Poplin]]s in their houses by turning them into [[fortress]]es, and stations in the center of the [[Petal Isles]].

When six [[Royal Seed]]s are collected, Castle Bowser invites [[Mario]] and [[Super Mario Bros. Wonder#Playable characters|his friends]] onto him to face four more challenges, concluding with a [[The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage|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.

==Levels==
As a location, Castle Bowser contains five levels, all of which are listed as Petal Isles levels.
