| '''Bowser's Castle''' (also called '''Bowser Castle''' in some games) is a common race course found in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. The course features usually hazards such as [[lava]] pits, [[Thwomp]]s, [[fireball]]s and sharp turns. In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and its succeeding games, Bowser's Castle is the penultimate course of the [[Special Cup]]. However, in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', there were multiple new versions of this track, similar to the [[Mario Circuit]] courses in ''Super Mario Kart''.

| ==History==
| |
| Bowser's Castle has appeared as multiple iterations throughout the ''Mario Kart'' series. In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', three Bowser Castle courses appeared in the [[Mushroom Cup|Mushroom]], [[Flower Cup|Flower]] and [[Star Cup|Star]] cups. The stages had the same appearance and features such as lava pits and Thwomps. The later Bowser Castles have more obstacles and turns than the first Bowser Castles.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Bowser's Castle, [[Mario Circuit]] (named Mario Raceway in ''Mario Kart 64''), and [[Rainbow Road]] are the only courses that appear in each [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] game to date.
| |
| **Among all courses, Bowser's Castle is the only course to appear in all ''Mario Kart series'' so far, including ''Arcade GP series''.
| |
| *The Bowser [[Kart]] from the game ''[[wikipedia:Nintendogs|Nintendogs]]'' plays the Bowser's Castle theme from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' when used.
| |
| *The theme for Bowser's Castle in the game ''Super Mario Kart'' bears a striking resemblance to the Bowser battle's music in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
