Bowser's Castle (also called Bowser Castle in some games) is a common race course found in the Mario Kart series. The course usually features hazards such as lava pits, Thwomps, fireballs and sharp turns. Due to these hazards, it is one of the most difficult courses in each game, similar to Rainbow Road.
In Mario Kart: Super Circuit and its succeeding games, Bowser's Castle is the penultimate course of the Special Cup. In Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64, Vanilla Lake 2 and Banshee Boardwalk were the penultimate courses in the Special Cup. In Super Mario Kart, there were multiple versions of this track, as with all the other courses except for Rainbow Road. Multiple versions of Bowser Castle are also featured in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, this time being the only course to do so. Also unlike Super Mario Kart, this game gives each of them an individual background.
