3DS Bowser's Castle

Bowser's Castle is a race course in Mario Kart 7 which seems to have the structure of a Haunted Mansion. It has cobwebs, lava pillars, Thwomps, and stairs. This track, as some previous others, is the third race in the Special Cup. This track starts off on a separate platform with a ramp to glide into Bowser's Castle. There are two entrances, an upper level and a lower level if the upper level is missed while gliding. The two levels have a set of stairs with Thwomps and inclining slopes that lead into one room filled with lava pools and sharp turns. Past that room is a wide wooden rotating tunnel that ends by a lake filled with water, some pipes pouring lava, and lava-filled edges. Afterward, racers return to land on a mountain side passing by lava waterfalls as the races drive up the mountain. At the end of the mountain is a sharp wide turn that ends with a ramp and drivers will glide down on the finish line platform to glide again to Bowser's Castle entrance or drivers will glide off the mountain, pass the finish line while in air and land on the entrance to continue the race.

The music in this course includes a part from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! ' s and Mario Kart Wii ' s Bowser's Castle. Bowser Castle 1 from Mario Kart: Super Circuit also returns as a retro track in the Shell Cup.
