{{Board-infobox

|appeared=''[[Mario Party 10]]''

Chaos Castle features three distinct sections. In the first section, players must advance along a stone and metal path over a sea of lava while avoiding [[Lava Bubble]]s and [[Charvaargh]]s. At certain points, the captain will have to jump over a gap in the path while avoiding jumping Lava Bubbles; being hit by one of the jumping fireballs will make the captain lose five Mini Stars. If the players land on an [[Unlucky Space]], a [[Charvaargh]] will appear and steal five [[Mini Star]]s from the current captain. At the end of the path is the mid-boss fort, along with a tunnel that leads to the next section of the board.

The final section of the board involves players approaching Bowser through a long, straight walkway over a large lava pool. Players must try to end their turns in the lowered sections of the path; if they are left on a space in the higher section (indicated by an orange aura around the vulnerable spaces), Bowser will spit a fireball at their vehicle, deducting half of the current captain's Mini Stars. When the players reach the end of the walkway, they will face off with Bowser in a final boss minigame.

Unlike other boards, Chaos Castle features the Yellow Toad locked away on the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} instead of Bowser; the player who frees him is rewarded with twenty Mini Stars.

If Team Mario reaches the third and final area, that is, after the homestretch, a scene shows Bowser bursting into the room (putting him one space behind Team Mario no matter how far ahead they were before entering the throne room), growing giant, and fusing his dice into [[Super Bowser Dice Block|a single large die]]. This new die replaces one side with a Bowser icon; if Bowser rolls the icon, he will catch up to Team Mario no matter how far away they are. Bowser is also able to roll his die after each active team member's roll (instead of waiting until everyone rolls the die). As a trade-off, Bowser does not get a bonus from [[Bowser Jr.]] at the "Almost There" flag.

Despite the unique upgrades, Team Mario and Bowser's goals are still unchanged; the former must make a break for Bowser Jr. and the Super Star at the end of the course, while Bowser attempts to finish his enemies off with his minigames and Bowser Jr. spaces. If Bowser wins, he will revert to his normal size and celebrate his victory with [[Bowser Jr.]] and a [[Hammer Bro]]. If Team Mario wins, the four teammates will celebrate their victory, leaving Bowser (still in his giant size) stomping his foot wherever he was when the Super Star was claimed.

*Chaos Castle is the first Bowser-themed board since ''[[Mario Party 6]]''{{'}}s [[Infernal Tower]] to lack Bowser's name in the title.

*In Bowser Party mode, Chaos Castle gives Bowser two unique attack animations in addition to the standard animations; one when he is climbing the walls in the second area, and another when he is giant in the final area.

*Chaos Castle is the first, and currently only Bowser-themed board in the entire series to not be unlockable.

*When characters move to the final section, a remix of the castle theme from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' can be heard in parts of the music.
