Bowser Castle 3 returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Bowser Tour (2023)|2023 Bowser Tour]], marking the first reappearance of an SNES Bowser Castle course in a ''Mario Kart'' title since ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''. It was the final SNES course added to the game. Unlike any other SNES courses that reappeared before it, the course has received a major visual and gameplay overhaul, including a new starting banner, being the first SNES remake in the ''Mario Kart'' series to feature any kind of dynamic elevation. Unlike the [[GBA Bowser's Castle 1|GBA]] [[GBA Bowser's Castle 2|Bowser's]] [[GBA Bowser's Castle 3|Castle]] [[GBA Bowser's Castle 4|courses]] in ''Mario Kart Tour'', this course retains its original name, Bowser Castle, as opposed to being changed to read "Bowser's Castle".

Large stretches of the course are now angled vertically, including segments of lava. The course now features more walls, pillars, and ramps. Offroad has been added all throughout the course, similar in appearance to the offroad present in GBA Bowser's Castles. Unlike in most other ''Tour'' courses, the offroad is not blocked off at all through the game's Smart Steering, even for the patches that do not serve as opportunities for shortcuts. The layout of the jump section has been streamlined, with the platforms all being fully aligned and offroad now breaking up the platforms. [[Lava Geyser]]s now erupt from the lava. An extra turn has been added before the U-bend where the track previously only got thinner, marked with an arrow sign. The walls separating the three roads towards the end are now aligned and can now be driven on, and gaps have been added between sections of the walls. The final turn is now a curved bend as opposed to two 90° turns. [[Bone Piranha Plant]]s have been added to the end of the course. The background is more open, since the arches in the background have been trimmed down and do not fill the entire horizon. A volcano similar to that of [[3DS Bowser's Castle]] has been added to the course's background.

The course also appears as '''Bowser Castle 3R''' (reversed), '''Bowser Castle 3T''' (with ramps), and '''Bowser Castle 3R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, there is a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] at the beginning of the last straightaway, allowing racers to cut off the final turn. In the T and R/T variants, a glide ramp is located at the fork with the numerous jumps. In the R/T variant this allows racers to cut off the second to last turn if they can dodge the additional Bone Piranha Plants that are present.

Like with the Donut Plains, Koopa Beach, and Vanilla Lake courses, this course reuses its original musical arrangement from ''Super Mario Kart''.
