Bowser's Castle also appears as a stage in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'', along with other stages from the ''Mario'' and ''Dragon Quest'' franchises. This Bowser's Castle is based on the one from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. Players have to compete against Peach, Jessica and Bowser and place first to beat the board. Beating the board unlocks Bowser and Bowser's Castle.
In ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'', the board's background is based on {{world-link|8|castlen|World 8-Castle}} from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' As such, it contains elements found in the level such as [[Burner]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, 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.

Bowser's Castle appears in the ''Itadaki Street DS'' sequel ''[[Fortune Street]]'' as an unlockable board map. Its appearance is similar to that of the previous game, but it is now based on the castle from ''[[New Super Mario Bros Wii]]''. There are doors on the top of the bigger section of land and one on the very top of the smaller section of land. The players can use these doors to navigate through the board. The doors bring players to the same spot each time they go through them. In ''Tour'' mode, the player has to play against Peach, Stella and Bowser while also coming in first to beat the board and unlock a new one.

History[edit]

Itadaki Street DS[edit]

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.
