- —Castle Bowser, Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Castle Bowser is a form that Bowser takes on in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and serves as the main antagonist of the game. The form is the combination of Bowser, his Koopa Clown Car, and the Flower Castle (Prince Florian's castle), created when Bowser comes into contact with a Wonder Flower in the game's opening cutscene. It has a green, round body with the Koopa King's face at the front and lime green horns at the sides with a castle that looks like Bowser's other castles, including a structure that looks like Bowser's head at the top with a drop-shaped structure on top that looks like the top of the spires on Russian castles. On the bottom is a series of pipes that spit out corrupting smoke.
After his transformation, Castle Bowser travels across the Flower Kingdom wreaking havoc, imprisoning Poplins in their houses by turning them into fortresses, and stations in the center of the Petal Isles.
When the final Royal Seed is collected, Castle Bowser invites Mario and his friends onto him to face four more challenges, concluding with a final boss fight against him, with Bowser taking on the form of the head of the castle on top. After the game is completed, Bowser, the Koopa Clown Car and the Flower Castle are separated.
