Bowser's Castle is a game board in Itadaki Street DS and Fortune Street, based on the location of the same name.
History
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.
