World 8-Bowser's Castle (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)
- “So you made it all the way here. I'd say I was impressed... But you won't last a minute in my castle! Bwahahaha!”

World 8-
Bowser's Castle is the eighteenth and final course of World 8, and the final course in the game. It is a Bowser Castle level with various tower and castle enemies with a boss fight with Bowser at the end (if the player has recruited Bowser by clearing this course once, they fight Boom Boom instead). When the player defeats Bowser, he summons the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. to join him for the final battle in a multicolored void (which counts as the same course).
Clearing this course once unlocks Bowser and Peach as Helpers, harder, Special World versions of the eight worlds, and the first upgrade for the Lucky ? Blocks spot in Toad Houses.
Layout
This level is straightforward and has eight enemy waves: the first wave has a Big Bony Beetle; the second has a single Chain Chomp; the third, a Thwomp; the fourth, all five Magikoopa types; the fifth, a Big Bone Piranha Plant; the sixth, two (or three) Chain Chomps; the Whomp for the seventh; Thwomp & Thwimps for the eighth, with a boss fight with Bowser at the end.
The player has all Orb types on the Orb field for this course.
