{{quote|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.

'''Mario's Rainbow Castle''' is [[Mario]]'s board in ''[[Mario Party]]''. It is heavily based off of [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] and [[Over the Rainbows|Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', as well as the [[Wing Cap]] in general. Players need to collect [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s to restore the great rainbow of the castle. The board is a one-way path to the middle of the board (with two junctions). Players who make it to the center ride [[Fwoosh]] up to the tower, where either [[Toad]] or [[Bowser]] wait. Toad doles out the Stars as usual, but if players reach Bowser, he awards them with a [[Ztar]] at the cost of 40 [[coin]]s (which will not subtract from their Star total), though they will regain coins upon returning to the start immediately afterwards. After obtaining either Star, the tower switches, replacing Toad with Bowser and vice versa, and [[Lakitu]] takes the player back to start. The [[Event Space|Happening Space]] can be used to force the tower to turn around before a player reaches it.

This is the only board in the game designed as a traditional start-to-finish style board map, while the others go all-around before the players meet up with Koopa Troopa.

At the end of the game, the winner's Stars form a large Star that paints a series of rainbows across the board, followed by a rainbow path from Fwoosh's center platform. The winner, as well as the players in 2nd and 3rd place go up the rainbow path to celebrate the victory along with Toad, [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]], [[Boo]], Fwoosh, and the Star. The player in 4th place attempts to travel up the rainbow too, but slips, falls, and is carried away by Lakitu.

==Quotes==
''"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."''

==Trivia==
*The map cast artwork that's sometimes utilized when loading the game has Mario flying in an homage to his winged cap pose from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', while Yoshi, Peach and Donkey Kong are to his right and holding each others hand, while he holds Luigi's hand to his left and Luigi is holding onto Wario's leg (most likely due to Wario nearly falling).
