Bowser's Castle: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'', Neon Castle is featured as the main base and home for Bowser and the Koopalings. Apparently located in a lava filled wasteland, Neon Castle lack the amount of towers its game counterpart possesses, only having one; Neon Castle also possesses a rectangular shape and, like the Japanese version of ''Super Mario World'', has "KOOPA" flashing in neon lights on its front, instead of "BOWSER". Like its game counterpart, Neon Castle possesses a large amount of traps, such as [[Ball 'n' Chain]]s, lava, fire-breathing statues, as well as various kinds of minions. In the episode [[Mama Luigi]], Mario refers to it as Bowser's "'''Coney Island Disco Palace'''".

During the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Bowser's Keep is isolated on a mountain of red, jagged rocks. The keep rests on the largest rock, which, in fact, resembles Bowser himself. The castle can only be accessed by a long bridge that connects to the faraway [[Vista Hill]]. The halls of Bowser's Keep are lined with statues of Hammer Brothers and Bowser. The castle is originally guarded by [[Terrapin]] soldiers. Additionally, molten lava flows through the keep in several areas. Fortunately, several bridges allow access across the lava. Unfortunately, the bridges are wooden, and as such, will eventually collapse in a room filled with lava. In fact, one bridge breaks right after Mario walks across it. Later, this bridge is replaced with hovering [[Donut Block]]s. The castle is also filled with ornate chandeliers. Mario and Bowser actually duel on the top of these chandeliers.

 

===''Paper Mario'' series===

====''Paper Mario''====

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', a new Bowser's Castle is secretly built right underneath [[Princess Peach's Castle]], and Bowser lifts it into the sky, kidnapping Princess Peach, along with her castle. The power used to lift the whole castle into the sky is the [[Star Spirits]]' and the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod's]] power, both of which Bowser had stolen from [[Star Haven]]. In the end, Mario manages to take back the Star Rod and destroy Bowser's Castle while saving Princess Peach (and her castle). In this game, Bowser's Castle looks bigger than Peach's.

 

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

[[File:Bowser'sCastlePM2.png|thumb|right|Bowser's Castle in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.]]

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Bowser's Castle doesn't play a major role, as only the outside and a hallway are seen. Its appearance is mainly to show [[Kammy Koopa]] explaining to Bowser what happened to the Princess.

 

====''Super Paper Mario''====

[[File:SPM Bowsers Castle.PNG|thumb|left|Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Count Bleck and the Koopa Troop in Bowser's Castle in ''Super Paper Mario''.]]

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', the castle has an equally minimal role, as it is where [[Count Bleck]] kidnaps the entire [[Koopa Clan]], and [[Tippi]] takes Mario to [[Flipside]]. This is the exact same castle seen in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. However, in [[The Bitlands]], Bowser found a set of several smaller castles, where several of his minions were located. After Mario destroyed them, and defeated the Koopa King, the Princess convinced him to join them on their quest.

 

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====

[[File:BabyBowser Castle.PNG|thumb|left|Baby Bowser's Castle seen in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''.]]

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the castle is called '''Baby Bowser's Castle''', since the Mario Bros. visit it in the past. The four heroes get to see a little of [[Baby Bowser]]'s castle. The four Bros. practically reunite and start their adventure together there. [[Baby Bowser]] is never seen inside the castle during the entire game. There is also a [[Time Hole]] here which links to [[Peach's Castle]] in the present. Oddly, the castle on the map in the presents looks exactly the same as the one in the past, so it still looks like Baby Bowser.

 

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====

|title='''''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|Bowser's Inside Story]]'' Enemy'''

After Bowser beats Midbus, Bowser is forced to eat a "victory feast" that Boos feed him. Later, he gets so fat from all his force-fed food that he gets stuck in the floor. After a strange hand grabs Princess Peach, Bowser falls through the floor, lands on a treadmill, and catches on fire. Then, Bowser gets thrown into the [[Tunnel]] by lit up Bob-ombs.

 

 

Curiously, the castle has a cold-storage vault, in which a large part of, if not the entire [[Shroob]] invasion force, is kept frozen, along with [[Elder Princess Shroob|their]] [[Princess Shroob| princesses]].

==Trivia==

[[File:MKSC.png|right|thumb|The ''Paper Mario'' castle in the background from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''.]]

*In both ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' and ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'', Bowser's Castle was infrequently seen, and was shown to have a labyrinth like construction, possessing various passages, bridges and doorways.

*In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', a course known as the [[Bowser Badlands]] is located near Bowser's Castle.

*Despite being referred to as "Bowser's Castle" in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', the castle in that game is actually owned by Kamek, since in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Bowser is just a [[Baby Bowser|baby]] & therefore the Koopa Troop is led by the [[Magikoopa]].
