Bowser's Castle is a game board in Itadaki Street DS and Fortune Street, based on the location of the same name.

History

Itadaki Street DS

Bowser's Castle in Itadaki Street DS.

In Itadaki Street DS, the board's background is based on World 8-Castle from New Super Mario Bros. As such, it contains elements found in the level such as Burners, Thwomps, a Dry Bones, a Star Coin, and the bridge where Bowser Jr. turns Dry Bowser back into Bowser. The board itself resembles Bowser's hand, with a center branching off into four paths. Players cannot loop around the center and must go down one of the paths. At the end of the paths is a Warp Door that leads back to the bank square. Each area is named after a different member of Bowser's Minions. In Tour mode, the player has to place first against Princess Peach, Jessica, and Bowser. Beating the board unlocks the board in Free Play mode, unlocks Bowser as a possible opponent, and gives the player the Bowser cap and suit.

Fortune Street

In Fortune Street, its appearance is similar to that of the previous game, but it is now based on World 8-Bowser's Castle from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, though it still retains the Thwomps and Warp Doors. In easy rules, the board is divided into two sections. The top section is in a conical shape and the bottom section are two cones merged together. The bottom section contains two one-way-alleys that lead to the bottom-center of the top section. Likewise, the top section has a single one-way-alley that leads to the leftmost square of the bottom section. A pair of backstreet squares also connect the two. The standard rules layout is identical to the layout from Itadaki Street DS. In Tour mode, the player has to come in first against Peach, Stella, and Bowser. Beating the board unlocks the Good Egg Galaxy board.
