Bowser's Castle (race course): Difference between revisions

In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', the course has a lot of [[Thwomp]]s that block drivers from preceding to further areas. Near the beginning of the course there is a green thwomp locked in a cage and has yellow teeth, and it will shake and laugh if a the player goes near it, this laugh can also be heard by the normal thwomps throughout the course. In further corridors there are pictures of Bowser and large stone statues that shoot flames from their mouths, but they are harmless. At the end of the track racers will race on the roof of the castle. On the last lap, or when the player gets too close to the Bowser statue at the start of the track, Bowser's famed laugh plays. Thwomps are the main obstacle in this course. Most of them will move around the room and try to crush the racers, some are stationary, and some slide across the room. It is the only Bowser's Castle that is not in [[Super Mario Kart]] or [[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]] in the Star Cup, the rest are in The [[Special Cup]]

This course reappears as the fourth and last course of the [[Lightning Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Notorious changes have been remade for such [[Wii|console]]. In this version, lava columns spring out from the pits to cause the drivers to bowl over, specially when racers attempt to jump. The green thwomp that was present in the Nintendo 64 version is no longer there, instead it is replased by a normal thwomp that looks no different then the rest, however it will shake and make an angry expression when a player comes near, though no laugh will be heard. The flame-shooting statues are still harmless. Bowser's laugh is still heard on entry on the final lap, or when the player gets too close to the Bowser statue at the start of the track. It is the longest track , taking around one minute per lap, and one of the most difficult tracks in the game.
