'''Bowser's Castle 2''' is the fourth and last course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. Its obstacles are falling [[Thwomp]]s and thin rectangular gaps in the floor that make drivers fall into the [[lava]] below. The track is also notable for its jumping [[ramp]]s; similar to those found in newer installments (after ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'') which allows racers to perform [[Jump Boost|Trick]]s. A large statue of Bowser can be seen in the background. The course shares its music with the game's other three Bowser Castles: [[GBA Bowser's Castle 1|1]], [[GBA Bowser's Castle 3|3]], [[GBA Bowser's Castle 4|4]]. Prior to its appearance in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', it was named '''Bowser Castle 2'''. | '''Bowser's Castle 2''' is the fourth and last course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''.

As with the other Bowser Castle tracks, Bowser Castle 2 is composed entirely of straightaways and 90° turns. There are also [[Thwomp]]s as obstacles. The course begins with a U-turn to the right followed by a straightaway; at the beginning of this straightaway is a narrow [[Dash Panel|speed strip]] on the left side of the road. Racers then encounter the first set of [[Item Box]]es and make two left turns followed by a right turn and the first Thwomp. There is then a left turn followed by a brief section made out of a metal grid; the grid has several holes in it which are preceded by jump pads, and another speed strip lies on the right side of the track. Racers then take a right turn, with a speed strip on the inside of the turn, and pass another Thwomp. | |||
Another right turn then leads into a section where racers must continuously use jump pads to jump over the lava. The section has multiple potential routes, and an individual Item Box can be found at one of the jumps. It ends with a right turn into another, much longer section that's largely made out of a metal grid. Here, the track initially widens and there are many more holes preceded by jump pads, as well as a pair of Item Boxes in the middle of the track. Towards the end of the section, the track returns to its normal width, and racers make one more right turn soon after. There is then a straightaway with two more Thwomps followed by the finish line. | |||
Throughout the course, [[Lava Bubble]]s also appear as obstacles. They will regularly hop out of the lava through holes in the track and through the gaps where racers hop over the lava. | |||

The course reappears once more in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It was added into the game at the start of the [[Hammer Bro Tour]]. Though the standard layout is largely the same, there are now [[Barrel Bomb]]s that are in certain areas, and some of the lava pits are smaller or absent. The platform directly after the first jump has a slightly different layout. The course now has a starting banner with the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo and uses the background of [[GBA Bowser's Castle 1]], as well as the arrangement of its music from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. | The course reappears once more in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

The course also appeared as '''Bowser's Castle 2R''' (reversed), '''Bowser's Castle 2T''' (with ramps), and '''Bowser's Castle 2R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the Hammer Bro Tour, while the latter was introduced in the [[Trick Tour (2020)|2020 Trick Tour]]. In the T variant, there is a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] at the beginning of the first section with jumps and [[Lava Bubble]]s. In the R/T variant, part of the main road is blocked off by Thwomps and [[wooden cutout]]s, and most racers have to take a detour around. | |||
The course's R/T variant had been absent for thirty-nine tours, from the [[Toad vs. Toadette Tour]] to the [[Bowser Tour (2023)|2023 Bowser Tour]], making it the R/T variant with the longest gap of appearances between tours. It is also the only classic course R/T variant to not appear in 2022. | The course's R/T variant had been absent for thirty-nine tours, from the [[Toad vs. Toadette Tour]] to the [[Bowser Tour (2023)|2023 Bowser Tour]], making it the R/T variant with the longest gap of appearances between tours.
