'''Bowser's Castle''' (or simply '''Bowser Castle''') is a recurring location in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. It is the domicile of the [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] villain [[Bowser]] and the base of operations for [[Koopa Troop|his army]]. The castle's name, design and greater location vary from game to game, but the castle is usually situated in a volcanic world and is characteristically an important base from which the Koopa King formulates his plans and summons his minions to take over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and carry out the capture of [[Princess Peach]]. Bowser's Castle is usually the final area that [[Mario]] and his friends visit to defeat Bowser and rescue Peach and is usually guarded by Bowser's most powerful minions. In the ''Mario'' spin-offs, the castle can serve as a go-kart course, a tennis court, a baseball stadium, etc., depending on the sport the game is based on. | '''Bowser's Castle''' (or simply '''Bowser Castle''') is a recurring location in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]].

Bowser's Castle is the main setting of the game ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', but instead of being located in the Koopa Kingdom, like in the other games, this castle is located in [[Antarctica]]. It contains many doors with portals to various cities around the [[real world]]. | Bowser's Castle is the main setting of the game ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', but instead of being located in the Koopa Kingdom, like in the other games, this castle is located in [[Antarctica]].

In ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', Bowser's Castle is only seen near the end of the comic and is portrayed as a large fortress, having many spike-covered towers and a large great hall, capable of holding several hundred different creatures. Catacombs and a lava filled chamber inhabited by [[Blargg]]s are also depicted in this version of Bowser's Castle. | In ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', Bowser's Castle is only seen near the end of the comic and is portrayed as a large fortress, having many spike-covered towers and a large great hall, capable of holding several hundred different creatures.
