-'''Bowser's Castle''' is the third course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. Racers start out outside of the castle and enter through a large doorway shaped like Bowser. As they proceed through the hallway, [[Thwomp]]s will try to spin them out or squish them. Racers will then travel over a pit of lava and through a circular room filled with [[Lava Bubble|Podoboos]]. During the final stretch of the course a statue of Bowser will shoot fireballs at oncoming cars. If the players have any trouble, Bowser's famed laugh will emit. Escaping the castle by a jump only leads to the front of the track again for the second lap.

During the final stretch of the course a statue of Bowser will shoot fireballs at oncoming cars. If a kart spins out, flips over, or falls off the course, Bowser's laugh (which is a pitched-down version of his laugh from ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'') can be heard. Escaping the castle by a jump only leads to the front of the track again for the second lap.
 This course shares its music with the [[GCN Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]] battle course. An arrangement of its theme is used in the stage of the same name in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]''. Additionally, part of the theme is used in the music for [[3DS Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Castle]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. The original theme can also be heard when using the Bowser [[Kart]] in the [[Nintendo DS]] game ''{{wp|Nintendogs}}''. The mountains in the background resemble the ones in [[Broken Pier]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''.

 ==Trivia==
 * The hallway after the first left turn in this track actually has three Thwomps loaded in, but only two of them are set to appear in game. The remaining one is always set to be invisible and intangible, and can only be seen in a model viewer.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230323194725/https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/712610184234762240/top-in-the-hallway-after-the-first-left-turn-in Article about the Missing Third Thwomp in GCN Bowser's Castle.] ''Supper Mario Broth''.

-* The laugh emitted when a kart spins out, flips over or falls off course is a pitched-down version of Bowser's laugh from [[''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'']] when he gets a par. Most of Bowser's voice clips in this game are pitched-down samples of his voices from said game.
