The track starts with a turn to the left after the starting line, leading to a straight section of track containing the first set of [[Item Box]]es and [[Coin]]s which narrows after passing a [[Lava]] grid. The track then takes another left turn past two [[Thwomp]]s, and then turns to the right over a pair of lava grids with more coins. The track then takes another right towards some coins and then makes a U-turn to the left over another grid featuring a pair of Thwomps. The track then passes over a number of small [[Ramp]]s over the lava moving slightly to the right, with [[Lava Bubble]]s occasionally jumping up from the lava. The track passes another two Thwomps, with an Item Box behind the first one approached, and makes a U-turn to the left, leading to three more Thwomps and several more coins. The track heads to the right and passes over another grid in the lava, now with holes in it through which Lava Bubbles can occasionally jump, and then follows a zig zag shape to the right featuring more coins and Item Boxes. The track then makes a final turn to the left past another pair of Thwomps and over another lava grid with holes before returning to the starting line.

Bowser Castle 3 makes its classic course debut in ''Mario Kart Wii'' as the second course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. The track is now a paler gray rather than blue, and the banners of Bowser in the background are now black with red faces, and Kamek has been removed from the track entirely. The track now features patches of mud that slow the player down on most of the track's corners, and all of the coins have been removed. Each set of Item Boxes now feature a larger number of Item Boxes, with several additional single boxes appearing behind Thwomps, Item Boxes occasionally appearing instead of Lava Bubbles on the jump section, extra sets being added on the corner after the jumps and after the zig zag section, and a moving set on the first grid with holes. A [[Dash Panel]] ramp has also been added on the left U-turn after the smaller ramps, with the Thwomps being slightly rearranged to suit the new layout. A shortcut can be performed by aiming left at the last yellow ramp and using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]. The course now has a starting banner, much like the other SNES and GBA courses.
