| The course is composed almost entirely of straightaways and 90° turns, and begins outside the castle with walls on both sides of the track. There is first a straightaway that takes racers over a wooden bridge and into the castle, where they first encounter a square courtyard. Here the track makes two 45° turns to the right, with the first set of [[Item Box]]es in between. While the courtyard is mostly covered in grass and shrubs, there is a Bowser statue that will breathe fire towards the part of the track with the aforementioned item set, though it cannot reach the track. Once racers leave the courtyard they enter a wide corridor with four [[Thwomp]]s; these Thwomps will move around in the air before falling onto the track. At the end of this corridor, there is an imprisoned Thwomp tinted green with yellow teeth due to the lighting, which shakes and laughs if racers go near it. Racers then take a left turn and briefly drive straight before taking a right turn into another corridor with more Thwomps. A pair will wait at the beginning of the corridor and then attempt to follow racers before falling and then returning to the beginning of the corridor. A row is also at the end of the corridor; the number of Thwomps in the row depends on the engine class (one for 50cc, two for 100cc, and three for 150cc), and they will always take turns falling.
| | It features several [[Thwomp]]s that try to block drivers from getting to further areas. Near the beginning of the course, there is an imprisoned Thwomp tinted green with yellow teeth due to the lighting, which shakes and laughs if the player goes near it. The laugh can also be heard by the normal Thwomps throughout the course. The Thwomps' laugh is the same as Wario's, only pitched down. Because Wario's voice changed for the international release, the Thwomps' voices changed with it. In further corridors, there are pictures of Bowser and large stone statues that shoot flames from their mouths, but they are harmless. At the end of the track racers will race on the roof of the castle. On the last lap, or when the player gets too close to the Bowser statue at the start of the track, Bowser's laugh plays. Thwomps are the main obstacle in this course. Most of them will move around the room and try to crush the racers and some slide across the room. In the hallway where the pair of Thwomps chase down the player, the number of Thwomps at the end of the hall depends on the engine class (one Thwomp for 50cc, two for 100cc, and three for 150cc). |

| After exiting the corridor, racers take a right turn followed by a straightaway and another right turn, then enter a room with two more Thwomps; these ones are always at ground level and move from side to side. There are also four small Bowser statues on the sides of the room that can breathe fire, of no consequence to racers. After this room there is a left turn and then racers must drive along a narrow bridge to cross a small room filled with lava. Afterwards there is a right turn into a short corridor with four pictures of Bowser on the walls. Here racers go down a staircase and reach another set of Item Boxes, and then they exit the corridor to reach another courtyard. This courtyard is much narrower and follows the shape of the track, with some more grass and shrubs on each side of the track. The track itself makes a sharp U-turn and then has a straightaway followed by a right turn. Here racers exit the castle and drive over another wooden bridge before reaching a circular tower. Between here and the end of the track, walls once again cover both sides of the track. Racers make a 270° loop counterclockwise around the tower as they gradually gain height, then they jump over a gap and land on a wide area with the last set of Item Boxes. On the left of the track next to the item set is the first of three small square towers with spires on top. At the end of this area, racers must cross another gap and go left or right around the second tower. They then take a right turn around the third tower and reach the finish line soon after.

| On the last lap, or when the player gets too close to the Bowser statue at the start of the track, Bowser's laugh plays. The Thwomps throughout the course can also laugh, which is the same as the laugh of [[Wario]] but pitched down. Because Wario's voice changed for the international release, the Thwomps' voices changed with it. | |

| ===Shortcuts===
| |
| A notable shortcut can be found at the first courtyard. The player can use [[Dash Mushroom|Mushrooms]] or a [[Super Star|Star]] to drive through the grass, cutting off the first two turns.
