'''Bowser's Castle 1''' (previously known as '''Bowser Castle 1''') is the fourth and last course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. It is the first of four Bowser Castle courses raced in each cup except the [[Lightning Cup]]. The course is relatively short and contains only five Thwomps, a lot of [[coin]]s, and a few [[Item Box|item boxes]]. The course takes place inside the castle, as can be seen by the windows and large Bowser-symboled door in the background. It shares its music with the game's other three Bowser Castles: [[GBA Bowser's Castle 2|2]], [[GBA Bowser's Castle 3|3]], [[GBA Bowser's Castle 4|4]].

After the start, there are two turns to the left. After a long straight piece there is a turn to the right with two Thwomps, with a mud-pool after it on the right. Then there is a swing curve left-right followed with three Thwomps and a bit later two turns to the left. Then there are five gaps with [[Lava Bubble]]s jumping out. After that there's a turn to the left and a swing curve right-left to the finish line.
As with the other Bowser Castle tracks, Bowser Castle 1 is composed entirely of straightaways and 90° turns. There are also [[Thwomp]]s as obstacles. The course begins with two left turns followed by the first set of [[Item Box]]es. Racers then pass a pair of Thwomps and take a right turn before reaching a slight S-bend; immediately before it, the right side of the track is covered in off-road, and immediately after it, there are another three Thwomps. There is then two left turns followed by a long straightaway, where racers must use five consecutive jump pads to jump over the lava while dodging [[Lava Bubble]]s. Between the third and fourth jumps, there is another item set. After the straightaway, racers encounter one more left turn followed by another slight S-bend and then the finish line.

In version 1.1, a shortcut exploit which allowed players to skip the second 180-degree turn became unusable when playing online. The shortcut is still viable offline, however.

Bowser's Castle 1 reappears once more in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', first appearing in the [[New York Tour]]. It generally retains its layout from ''Mario Kart 7''. Like other courses in the game, Bowser's Castle 1 has a reversed variant, a trick variant, and a reversed/trick variant, referred to as '''Bowser's Castle 1R''', '''Bowser's Castle 1T''', and '''Bowser's Castle 1R/T''' respectively, with the latter being introduced in the [[London Tour]].
Bowser's Castle 1 reappears once more in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', first appearing in the [[New York Tour]]. It generally retains its layout from ''Mario Kart 7''. This course also uses the ''Mario Kart 7'' version of its music, while most other classic courses in the game uses the original versions of their themes. It also shares its music with [[GBA Bowser's Castle 2]], [[GBA Bowser's Castle 3]], [[GBA Bowser's Castle 4]], and [[RMX Bowser's Castle 1]].

The course also appeared as '''Bowser's Castle 1R''' (reversed), '''Bowser's Castle 1T''' (with ramps), and '''Bowser's Castle 1R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The latter first debuted in the [[London Tour]]. In the R variant, a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] is immediately available at the start of the track, and there are many more [[Thwomp]]s, mostly positioned between the last two turns. In the T variant, there are several ramps that raise and lower in time with the Thwomps, allowing racers to jump over the Thwomps when the ramps are up. In the R/T variant, the number of Thwomps is once again significantly higher, though they are spread out across the course.


Prior to the 2019 Halloween Tour, no kart or glider had Bowser's Castle 1R listed as a favorite course. Instead, its appearance in the Dry Bowser Cup relied on the spotlight bonus to raise the Badwagon and Swooper up one level.
