Editing Talk:Bowser's Castle (race course)

I was curious about the Thwomp locked behind bars near the beginning in the green light. Whats is with this? This seems strange, could it be that he has done something wrong? [[User:Learner|Learner]] 17:52, 13 March 2008 (EDT)

It is possibly a stage prop or hazard (although it is trapped in the bars).
It may also be there to distract human racers. {{User:Mariofan459/sig}}

The caged Thwomp has no significance to the course. Speculation is pointless.--{{User:Knife/sig}} 16:15, 25 September 2009 (EDT)

It has no effect on the course, its probably just there to distract you.Possibly, if they bring it back in the next one(MarioKart3DS-Cant wait!), it might serve a purpose.'''-Smileymiley5001'''

Is it true that the Green Thwomp is named Marty? --[[File:YoshiMP8a.PNG|35px]] [[User:SuperYoshiBros|Super]][[User talk:SuperYoshiBros|Yoshi]][[Special:Contributions/SuperYoshiBros|Bros]] [[File:YoshiMP8a.PNG|35px]] 18:44, 8 April 2011 (EDT)
:I just Googled it, and it's listed as being named such on other wikis, on YouTube, Gamefaqs, etc., but I haven't found anything official (i.e. from Nintendo). I'll just put a refneeded tag on it. {{User:Mario4Ever/Sig}} 18:49, 8 April 2011 (EDT)

Should we note [[Mario Kart 7|MK7]]'s version? {{User:Lakituthequick/sig}} 10:51, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

== Shortcut ==

I know of a glitch shortcut in the WII version. Should this bee added to the article (I'm wondering because it's a glitch). [[User:Arceus79|Arceus79]] 22:14, 23 March 2012 (EDT)
:No, I don't think we should add it. You can add it in [[List of glitches in Mario Kart Wii|Mario Kart Wii/Glitches]], though. {{User:BabyLuigiOnFire/sig}}

== Glitch in Mario Kart DS ==

I just played Mario Kart DS, and I noticed that when the course is played in VS Mode, the ranking shows that you're in 7th place even though you're in the 8th place position. {{User:Chris Helper/sig}}

== Name change. ==

Can we change this to race course instead of just course? "Course" seems a bit vague, such as it possibly being a golf course. - {{User:Ninelevendo/sig}} 01:38, 24 July 2014 (EDT)

== Water ==

Actually, the first Bowser's Castle to have water is in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. In that one, the water is just outside of the castle, but serves as a hazard. ''Mario Kart 7'' is the second one to have water in a Bowser's Castle course, but for underwater driving. --[[User:PrincessDaisyFanatic3883|PrincessDaisyFanatic3883]] ([[User talk:PrincessDaisyFanatic3883|talk]]) 01:28, 30 January 2015 (EST)

== Music ==

I'm not good at hearing similarities in music to another, so I was just wondering if the music for Bowser's Castle in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' is a remix of the final boss theme from ''[[Super Mario World]]''? I mean, few people say that they sound very similar, along that one of them is literally a spinoff of the other, and many people call one a remix of the other, or that they're the same song.[[Special:Contributions/107.206.92.13|107.206.92.13]] 21:13, 15 November 2016 (EST)
:The music is [[MarioWiki:Good_writing#Frequently_misused_terms|not considered a remix]] as it's a completely new arrangement of the theme. It's probably most likely a cover version (we use rearrangement rather than cover version because of how unwieldy that term is). {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 21:36, 15 November 2016 (EST)
:So they're actually the same song, right? [[Special:Contributions/107.206.92.13|107.206.92.13]] 21:42, 15 November 2016 (EST)
::No, they're not the same song. You're misusing the term "remix" when the term you're thinking of is actually a new arrangement of the music. In fact, remixes are actually the same song, but with different beats and instruments, with some heavy editing overlayed on top of them. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 22:02, 15 November 2016 (EST)

== Delete ==

{{talk}}
Why do we have this? It's basically just a glorified disambiguation page, and we already have a [[Bowser's Castle (disambiguation)|disambiguation page for Bowser's Castle]]. What little information is here belongs on the ''Mario Kart'' section of the [[Bowser's Castle]] article. For the same reason that we don't need [[Talk:Sherbet Land (race course)#Delete this page|Sherbet Land (race course)]], we don't need this. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 21:41, 1 March 2019 (EST)

:Agreed, for the same reason brought up the proposal, this isn't needed. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:30, March 13, 2019 (EDT)
::Then get a TTP rolling. If the intention is to have all race course articles of this type merged into a main article, I would suggest a formal proposal. -- {{User:Ghost Jam/sig}} 23:56, April 29, 2019 (EDT)
:::This doesn't need to be dragged on for two more weeks. The situation matches that of Sherbet Land exactly which received a great amount of support for deletion. I'd be willing to go ahead and delete the page if no one objects. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:34, May 10, 2019 (EDT)
