Bowser Castle (baseball stadium)


 * Also see Bowser's Castle and the Bowser Castle race courses.

Bowser Castle is an unlockable stadium in both Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers. It would seem that Bowser decided to build a Baseball Stadium inside his own Castle.

Mario Superstar Baseball
In Mario Superstar Baseball, this stadium is unlocked for other modes in the game by beating Challenge Mode at least once. It has lava all over the stage, so Bowser has had to put a protective cage over the lavapits, as that players can walk over it. However, Fiery Bubbles can still fly out of the lavapits, and will burn any player that gets hit. This will cause them to drop the ball, if they're holding it. Additionally, the stadium is very high, and there are a few Thwomps on the sides, that will try to block the ball, making it hard to get a Home-Run. In Challenge Mode, Bowser Castle is the last stadium in every players story (including Bowser).

When playing as Mario, Peach, Wario, Yoshi or Donkey Kong, then they must beat all of the other players, and then they will have to challenge Bowser's team in Bowser Castle. When playing as Bowser, Mario and a group of Eight other Captains (its a random pick) will steal Bowser's Castle, after Bowser beats all the other teams. Bowser must then challenge them to a Baseball match. The stadium is also where Star Dash, a Mini-game, is played.

Mario Super Sluggers
The stadium reappears in Mario Super Sluggers, but depicting slight differences from its first appearance. There are 3 obstacles. One of them is fireballs dripping from the sky and lava pouring from behind, burning outfielders. Then there is a King Bob-Omb floating with the Koopa Clown Car and throwing bob-ombs across the outfield. In the background, there is a giant Bowser statue in the center field that will breathe fire to burn outfielders. The stadium is also where Bowser Pinball, a Mini-game, is played, which is unlocked after challange mode is complete. The background music for this stadium is a remixed version of the Castle BGM from New Super Mario Bros..
