'''Black Bowser's Castle''' is the final area in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. It is on a floating island with an appearance similar to that of [[Bowser's Sky Castle]], but with pipes leading into the rock. A [[Rainbow_Road#Paper_Mario:_Color_Splash|rainbow road]], leading up from the [[Prisma Fountain]] in [[Port Prisma]] all the way to here, is unlocked once [[Mario]] has retrieved all six [[Big Paint Stars]].

==Layout==
The castle's entry hall consists of a hallway where a portrait of a color-drained [[Princess Peach]] is initially seen, just out of reach. When [[Mario]] attempts to lower it, however, a trapdoor opens leading to a cell. [[Huey]] admits that Bowser caught them, but he also states how they're not surrounded by "bad guys". Six [[Slurp Guy]]s appear, followed by [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], leading to a battle between them, but not before they steal all of Mario's paint and his [[1-Up Mushroom]] cards. After Roy is defeated, he returns all of the stolen paint and 1-Up Mushroom cards and the door in the pit leads to a factory where all the paint stolen from [[Prism Island]] is brought to mix into [[black paint]]. The black paint is later used to color weapons such as [[Banzai Bill]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s, which [[Black Bowser]] intends to use to paint the world black.  Mario manages to destroy the tank holding the black paint which floods the entire factory. The factory also has a warp pipe leading back to the entry hall.

Behind the wall where Peach's portrait was is a hallway leading to Bowser's throne room, with the princess now hanging above the throne. Black Bowser taunts them, telling him that he wasn't expecting him to make it this far and battles them. After the black paint is removed from his head, Bowser is briefly freed from the black paint. However, it takes control of him again, leading to the true final battle. Bowser will now have the black paint return back to him after all of his attacks, rendering the fight nearly impossible to win. Huey decides to change back to his original form by transforming into a card. After Mario uses him, he can now absorb Bowser's black paint, so he can't heal himself. After Black Bowser is defeated, the castle begins to collapse, due to the black paint. Mario, [[Luigi]], and Peach escape, while Huey stays behind and, to ensure all the black paint does not fall into Prism Island, squeezes the castle, removing the black paint, and transforming it into a card.

In battle, the [[Battle_Card_(Paper_Mario:_Color_Splash)#Black Bowser's Castle|Black Bowser's Castle card]] summons the castle and crashes it into the opponents. It is also powerful enough to instantly defeat Black Bowser in battle.

==Trivia==
*This is Bowser's third floating castle in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]], the first two being [[Bowser's Castle#Paper Mario|his castle]] from the original ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and [[Bowser's Sky Castle]] from ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''.
*Black Bowser's Castle is tied with the [[Green Energy Plant]] for the least amount of colorless spots in the game, with only one, and that colorless spot is Peach herself.
