Map

Bowser Path (also known as the Bowser's Castle Path)[1] is a road that leads to Bowser's Castle in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake. It can be accessed by traveling northeast of Bumpsy Plains. The area contains many conveyor belts and requires the use of the sliding haymaker. Bowser freed his Shy Guy minions on Bowser Path and learned the Special Attack called Shy Guy Squad. There are 10 beans that can be unearthed on Bowser Path. The road ends at the entrance to Bowser's Castle. This is also the last area where the Mario Bros. go to the Arm Center.

Prima Official Game Guide description[edit]

  • "Bowser has almost made it to his castle. The path between the Bumpsy Plains and the front gate of the castle is guarded by many monsters, though, all of whom are under the influence of the wicked Fawful. Many fists must be thrown to brush aside the riffraff and knock on the front door. Fortunately, there are some trapped minions along the path that will be so appreciative of a rescue that they will enlist in Bowser's growing resistance."
