- “Take a magical trip to a castle in the clouds. This board consists of a single path that the players must follow to reach the castle. However, when someone reaches the castle, Toad and Bowser switch places.”
- —Mario Party instruction booklet[1]
- “The castle you see from here was once a beautiful castle called Rainbow Castle. But the rainbow disappeared, and even the name Rainbow Castle has been forgotten. With your own hands, you must reveal the shining Rainbow Castle once more! I have one piece of advice! In the castle, Toad may change places with Bowser.”
- —Koopa Troopa, Mario Party
Mario's Rainbow Castle is Mario's board in Mario Party. It is based on the sky areas of Super Mario 64, especially the Tower of the Wing Cap and Wing Mario Over the Rainbow. Mario's Rainbow Castle is a one-way path, unlike other boards in the game. When a player makes it to the center, they ride Fwoosh up to the tower, where either Toad can give them a Star as usual, or Bowser hands out a Ztar, forcefully stealing up to 40 Coins from the player. Either way, the player is returned to the start by Lakitu, and the tower switches to the other character, though the Happening Space can turn it beforehand. The winner's Stars form a large Star at the end, spawning rainbows as well as a rainbow path from Fwoosh's center platform. The first three players take the path, celebrating with Toad, Koopa, Boo, Fwoosh, and the Star, though the player in last place falls before being carried off by Lakitu.
Mario's Rainbow Castle returns in Super Mario Party Jamboree, but it becomes playable only after achieving Gold Player Rank. The entire board is rendered in 3D, like the game. There is no longer a Koopa Troopa at the Start Space, and the clouds are differently elevated. A Yellow Toad and Impostor Bowser fill in for Toad and Bowser, respectively, as well as a Lakitu's Cloud for Fwoosh. The Item Shop area has two different shops, one run by a Koopa Troopa and the other by Kamek, which switch out either after obtaining an item or getting a Star or Ztar. Some background details were added, like Toads sitting at tables with an umbrella or the weather being stormy while Impostor Bowser is out, also playing a heavier arrangement. The fixed price of a Ztar is now 20 Coins, like a Star. In the ending, the Star starts creating rainbows around the castle, which Yellow Toad wishes to observe but has to announce the results. The player in fourth no longer falls at the end, with ceremonies being handled differently.

Quotes[edit]
"On a sea of clouds that spreads across the sky stands a great castle. But somehow, it seems rather sad."
"That middle castle used to be called Rainbow Castle. It was very beautiful."
"But now, there's not a rainbow to be seen. Yes, it is sad. I wonder, can't we go back to the past?"
"What could we do that would turn that castle back into Rainbow Castle?"
"I want to paint a beautiful rainbow over that castle. Don't you?"
"I bet we could paint a new rainbow if we used our Star Power."
