{{quote|The castle you see from here was once a beautiful castle called Rainbow Castle. But the rainbow disappeared, and even the name Rainbow Castle has been forgotten.

'''Mario's Rainbow Castle''' is [[Mario]]'s board in ''[[Mario Party]]''. It is heavily based on [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] and [[Over the Rainbows|Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', as well as the [[Wing Cap]] in general. Players need to collect [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s to restore the great rainbow of the castle. The board is a one-way path to the middle of the board (with two junctions). Players who make it to the center ride [[Fwoosh]] up to the tower, where either [[Toad]] or [[Bowser]] wait. Toad doles out the Stars as usual, but if players reach Bowser, he awards them with a [[Ztar]] at the cost of 40 [[coin]]s (which will not subtract from their Star total), though they will regain coins upon returning to the start immediately afterward. After obtaining either Star, the tower switches, replacing Toad with Bowser and vice versa, and [[Lakitu]] takes the player back to start. The [[Event Space|Happening Space]] can be used to force the tower to turn around before a player reaches it. 

This is the only board in the game designed as a traditional start-to-finish style board map, while the others go all around before the players meet up with Koopa Troopa.

At the end of the game, the winner's Stars form a large Star that paints a series of rainbows across the board, followed by a rainbow path from Fwoosh's center platform. The winner, as well as the players in 2nd and 3rd place, go up the rainbow path to celebrate the victory along with Toad, [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]], [[Boo]], Fwoosh, and the Star. The player in 4th place attempts to travel up the rainbow too, but slips, falls and is carried away by Lakitu.

Mario's Rainbow Castle returns as an unlockable board in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. It is unlocked after reaching Gold Player Rank. The originally flat clouds have now been remade into 3D and use different levels of cloud platform elevation, [[Toad]] and [[Bowser]] have been replaced by a [[Toad (species)|Yellow Toad]] and [[Fake Bowser|Impostor Bowser]] respectively due to their inclusions as playable characters and various set pieces have been added or altered such as tables with umbrellas where Toads can be seen sitting together. There's also an [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shop]] split in half that is run by a [[Koopa Troopa]] on one half and by [[Kamek]] on the other half, and whenever the Yellow Toad switches places with Impostor Bowser, the sky goes from sunny to stormy weather, and the Item Shop owner switches from Koopa Troopa to Kamek. Just like other boards, Kamek's store features different items to Koopa Troopa's.
