'''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.

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]]''. | This course shares its music with the [[GCN Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]] battle course.

The race starts in a quite straight dirt road that leads into the castle, past a drawbridge and into an opening that is shaped like Bowser. The players can then see that the path splits, but it results in two identical paths that also have the same obstacles: Thwomps. Past that, where the path meets again, is a 90 degree turn to the left with leads into another straight path with Thwomps. In split screen mode, the Thwomps in this lane are absent. After the Thwomps, there is another turn left that leads into a room with lava on the ground. | The race starts in a quite straight dirt road that leads into the castle, past a drawbridge and into an opening that is shaped like Bowser.

Past the circular room is a short path that turns to the left in a 90 degree angle, which also leads to another 90 degree angle turn. It leads outside and the players can see the start of the course on this road. However, if players attempt a shortcut here, the game will consider it as falling off the course and place the racer back on the track. The road has two somewhat steep ramps that are not exactly straight, but they do not slow down the players. Past the ramps is a U-turn that leads to a straight road. The road then curves to the left, then makes a U-turn that leads into another interior. | Past the circular room is a short path that turns to the left in a 90 degree angle, which also leads to another 90 degree angle turn.

In this room, there is a giant Bowser Machine that shoots one fireball at a time to the players. Despite that, the road is straight. After that is a turn left and a curve right that leads nearer to the Bowser Machine. The players then make a left turn onto a straightaway that also has the Bowser Machine's fireballs, but they aren't being directly shot at them. There is a ramp that has Dash Panels on it at the end of the section. After the ramp is a curve left leading to the finish line. | In this room, there is a giant [[Bowser Statue|Bowser Machine]] that shoots one fireball at a time to the players.

There is one notable shortcut in this course that does not require the use of a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]. It is in the room with the Bowser machine. Before the curve that leads the players right, one can notice an opening in a wall, directly where the Bowser Machine belches out fire from. The players can drive over that, but must steer quickly or risk falling into the lava just after making the ramp. The players also have a risk of getting burnt by a fireball just before the jump, making the players also fall into the lava. | There is one notable shortcut in this course that does not require the use of a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]].
