Talk:Bowser's Castle (race course)

I was curious about the Thwomp locked behind bars near the beginning in the green light. Whats is with this? This seems strange, could it be that he has done something wrong? Learner 17:52, 13 March 2008 (EDT)

It is possibly a stage prop or hazard (although it is trapped in the bars). It may also be there to distract human racers.

The caged Thwomp has no significance to the course. Speculation is pointless.-- 16:15, 25 September 2009 (EDT)

It has no effect on the course, its probably just there to distract you.Possibly, if they bring it back in the next one(MarioKart3DS-Cant wait!), it might serve a purpose.-Smileymiley5001

Is it true that the Green Thwomp is named Marty? -- SuperYoshiBros 18:44, 8 April 2011 (EDT)
 * I just Googled it, and it's listed as being named such on other wikis, on YouTube, Gamefaqs, etc., but I haven't found anything official (i.e. from Nintendo). I'll just put a refneeded tag on it. 18:49, 8 April 2011 (EDT)

Should we note MK7's version? 10:51, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

Shortcut
I know of a glitch shortcut in the WII version. Should this bee added to the article (I'm wondering because it's a glitch). Arceus79 22:14, 23 March 2012 (EDT)
 * No, I don't think we should add it. You can add it in Mario Kart Wii/Glitches, though.

Glitch in Mario Kart DS
I just played Mario Kart DS, and I noticed that when the course is played in VS Mode, the ranking shows that you're in 7th place even though you're in the 8th place position.

Name change.
Can we change this to race course instead of just course? "Course" seems a bit vague, such as it possibly being a golf course. - 01:38, 24 July 2014 (EDT)

Water
Actually, the first Bowser's Castle to have water is in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. In that one, the water is just outside of the castle, but serves as a hazard. Mario Kart 7 is the second one to have water in a Bowser's Castle course, but for underwater driving. --PrincessDaisyFanatic3883 (talk) 01:28, 30 January 2015 (EST)
