In Super Mario Kart, the course features a stone road in a lava pool. The most dangerous obstacles are the Thwomps which appear at four points and always in groups of four. While they only remain in the air in the first lap, they will go up and down in the following laps. When coming down, they can crush the driver, making it impossible to drive on for a few seconds. They can also be a simple barrier when remaining at the ground. Another danger is the lava. There are gaps which are usually easily to be crossed by jump lines. When jumping in the wrong direction, however, it is possible to fall into the lava. It is also dangerous to jump directly before a jump line because the jump line is avoided then and the player may fall into the lava pool. There is no real shortcut in this course, however the player may use the zippers halfway on the track. They are not used by computer drivers and thus can save a lot of time.

In Mario Kart Super Circuit, it is the first in a series of various Bowser Castles raced at the end of each cup. The course is relatively short and contains only five Thwomps and a lot of coins, with few item boxes though. The course takes place inside the castle, as it can note on the background of the course.
