Bowser Castle is a baseball stadium occurring within the [[Bowser's Castle|castle itself]]. It is built atop [[lava]], though the exposed parts are covered with mesh. [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s jump out of the lava, burning players on contact and causing the one with the ball to drop it. There is a giant Bowser statue in the center, which becomes a hazard in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' from receiving the ability to breathe fire. There are also [[Thwomp]]s that block the ball. ''Mario Super Sluggers'' also includes fireballs that form puddles, burning players on contact, as well as [[Bob-omb]]s being thrown around the field by [[King Bob-omb]] on the [[Koopa Clown Car]].

In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', this stadium is unlocked for other modes in the game by beating ''Challenge Mode'' at least once. It has lava all over the stage, so Bowser has had to put a protective cage over the lavapits, as that players can walk over it. However, [[Fiery Bubble|Fiery Bubbles]] can still fly out of the lavapits, and will burn any player that gets hit. This will cause them to drop the ball, if they're holding it. Additionally, the stadium is very high, and there are a few [[Thwomps]] on the sides, that will try to block the ball, making it hard to get a Home-Run. In ''Challenge Mode'', Bowser Castle is the last stadium in every players story (including Bowser).  


When playing as [[Mario]], [[Peach]], [[Wario]], [[Yoshi]] or [[Donkey Kong]], then they must beat all of the other players, and then they will have to challenge Bowser's team in Bowser Castle. When playing as Bowser, Mario and a group of Eight other Captains (its a random pick) will steal Bowser's Castle, after Bowser beats all the other teams. Bowser must then challenge them to a Baseball match. The stadium is also where [[Star Dash]], a Mini-game, is played.

Overview[edit]

Screenshot from Mario Superstar Baseball, showing the original design

Bowser Castle is a baseball stadium occurring within the castle itself. It is built atop lava, though the exposed parts are covered with mesh. Podoboos jump out of the lava, burning players on contact and causing the one with the ball to drop it. There is a giant Bowser statue in the center, which becomes a hazard in Mario Super Sluggers from receiving the ability to breathe fire. There are also Thwomps that block the ball. Mario Super Sluggers also includes fireballs that form puddles, burning players on contact, as well as Bob-ombs being thrown around the field by King Bob-omb on the Koopa Clown Car.

Bowser Castle is the last stadium of Challenge mode in Mario Superstar Baseball, where it is unlockable by clearing Challenge mode on Mushroom difficulty.[1] If Bowser is chosen as the starting captain, which can be done after clearing all four difficulties, the last match occurs at Bowser Castle, which one of the other five captains has taken over.[2]

Bowser Castle is the setting of two minigames: Star Dash in Mario Superstar Baseball and Bowser Pinball in Mario Super Sluggers.
