'''RMX Bowser's Castle 1''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Unlike other [[remix course]]s, which are based on ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' courses, this course is based on the Bowser's Castle courses from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' while using the aforementioned courses' music, which is the ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' rendition of [[GBA Bowser's Castle 1]]'s music also heard in [[GBA Bowser's Castle 2]], [[GBA Bowser's Castle 3]] and [[GBA Bowser's Castle 4]]. [[Conveyor Belt]]s act as the main new additions of the course, but there are also returning elements such as [[Thwomp]]s. The course debuted in the [[Bowser Tour (2022)|2022 Bowser Tour]], and was the first remix course to be added to ''Mario Kart Tour'' since [[RMX Ghost Valley 1]] in the [[Kamek Tour]], twenty-six tours prior.

==Course layout==
The course uses the same aesthetics as the Bowser's Castle courses from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', but with a completely different layout. This time, the course features [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belts]] as the main new course elements. Like the Bowser Castle courses from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', the course is littered with [[Thwomp]]s and is surrounded by a pool of lava. All turns are sharp, right-angled turns and there are numerous jumps throughout the course, reminiscent of [[GBA Bowser's Castle 2]] and [[GBA Bowser's Castle 3]] specifically. The course starts on a long straightaway that contains an long, wide conveyor belt in the middle. Soon, players take a sharp left turn to reach the first set of items, before taking another left turn. Racers then drive off of the small ramps while collecting coins and avoiding the Thwomps. Then a turn to the right and follow a zig-zag path, driving along more conveyor belts as they do. Players take a slight right turn followed by a dramatic turn, before returning to the straightaway they started on, driving in a straight line until reaching the finish line. The course is somewhat similar in layout to [[RMX Vanilla Lake 1]], albeit upside down.

This course also appears as '''RMX Bowser's Castle 1R''' (reversed), '''RMX Bowser's Castle 1T''' (with ramps), and '''RMX Bowser's Castle 1R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the normal variant in the [[Bowser Tour (2022)|2022 Bowser Tour]], while the latter debuted in the [[Bowser Tour (2023)|2023 Bowser Tour]]. In the R variant, the number of conveyor belts and Thwomps has been reduced, with some changing positions, and there is a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] just before the long straightaway which is only usable on lap 2. In the T and R/T variants, all Thwomps are gone. In the R/T variant, racers use [[Kanaami Road]] to drive out over the lava while dodging [[Lava Geyser]]s, then use a glide ramp to return to the track.
