| In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', the course has lot of [[Thwomp]]s that block drivers from preceding to further areas. At the end of the first hallway there is a green [[Thwomp]] behind bars that will wake up if drivers drive near it. If the driver drives into the cage holding the green thwomp an erie laugh can be heard. In further corridors there are pictures of Bowser and large stone statues that shoot flames from their mouths. At the end of the track racers will end up racing on the roof of the castle.

| This course reappears as the fourth and last course of the [[Lightning Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', notorious for have been remade for such [[Wii|console]]. In this version, lava columns spring out from the pits to cause the drivers to bowl over, specially when racers attempt to jump.

| Racers start out outside of the castle and enter through a large doorway shaped like Bowser. As they precede through the hallway, [[Thwomp]]s will try to block their path and squish them. Racers will then travel over a pit of lava and through a circular room filled with [[Podoboo|Podoboos]]. During the final stretch of the course a statue of Bowser will shoot fireballs at oncoming cars.

| |
| In the ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' the players start by passing through a more metalic doorway of Bowser and then pass through a hallway with [[Thwomp]]s. After climbing stairs and crossing a thin but walled bridge, drivers will enter another circular room like in [[Mario Kart: Double Dash]]. However, this one doesn't have a [[Firebar]], and instead spins. A spiral bridge follows. If racers aren't careful, they can fall a long way down into lava or even back to the beginning of the spiral. It is possible there to [[Bob-omb]] someone out the tower's windows. racers will encounter a spinning log in which the driver must navigate across, or they will fall into a garden and lose time. The final stretch of the map consists of moving platforms that must be jumped over. If the player goes all the way around the circular room, they will take a shortcut. However, the shortcut has fire and a moving Thwomp.

| Also, Bowser Castle 2 from Mario Kart: Super Circuit appears.

| ===''Mario Kart Wii''===
| |
| ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'''s Bowser's Castle resembles to the ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' Castle track, though now drivers enter a wavy hallway that can bounce them into the wall or into the purple Dark Land water. After driving through hallways similar to Double Dash, the racers enter a large open hallway with another giant Bowser statue. Racers must use the ramps on both sides to avoid the fireballs as well as mud. Racers then finish the map by driving through a field with erupting flames. It also has lava geysers.

| ''Mario Kart Super Circuit's'' ''[[Bowser Castle 3]]'' and ''Mario Kart 64's'' ''Bowser Castle'', also reappear with changes in term of gameplay. ''GBA Bowser Castle 3'' now has mud on some place while ''N64 Bowser Castle'' features [[Podoboos]] on some places.
