'''Bowser's Highway Showdown''', also known as '''{{world|1|castle}}''', is the final standard course of [[World 1 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 1]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. It is a castle with many [[Kick Bomb]]s, with [[Bowser]] serving as the boss. the green Sprixie Princess is held prisoner in the castle. It is unlocked by completing [[Plessie's Plunging Falls]] or [[Switch Scramble Circus]]. Ten [[Green Star]]s are needed to enter and its own completion frees the green Sprixie Princess who builds a [[Clear Pipe]] to [[World 2 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 2]].

==Layout==
This course begins in a road with two [[Kick Bomb]]s, a [[Green Ring]], and a [[Goomba Tower]]. Later on, there is an area with two [[Cannon]]s shooting Kick Bombs. Some [[Thwomp]]s and a [[Cat Wheel]] appear soon after. A short path with a [[Goomba Tower]] and a [[Green Star]] follows. The road ends in a wall made of many stone [[Brick Block]]s. The player must use some nearby Kick Bombs to break the wall, and get to the nearby [[Warp Box]] leading to the boss. After climbing up a staircase, the player encounters [[Bowser]] in his car. 

The strategy to defeating Bowser is quite simple: The player must knock back the Kick Bombs he throws. The player will score full damage if they hit Bowser directly, but the car will take three hits before actual damage is scored. After a while, Bowser will begin to spit fire onto the road which will leave flaming residue where it lands. The player must steer clear of these fiery puddles. Once defeated, a Warp Box will appear which leads the player to the [[Goal Pole]] and the green Sprixie Princess.

==Collectables==
===[[Green Star]]s===
*'''Green Star 1''': Near the beginning of the course, the player must activate the [[Green Ring]] and collect the 8 [[Green Coin]]s to make the Green Star appear.
*'''Green Star 2''': For this Green Star, [[Cat Mario]] is required. Shortly after the first green star, the player must activate the [[Cat Wheel]] and then scale the walls to get the star.
*'''Green Star 3''': After the second star, a [[Goomba Tower]] holding the star captive appears. The player must defeat the Goomba Tower to get the star.
