'''Bowser Castle 2''' is the fourth course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. Its obstacles are falling [[Thwomp]]s and thin rectangular gaps in the floor that make drivers fall into the [[lava]] below. The track is also notable for its jumping [[ramp]]s; similar to those found in newer installments (after ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'') which allows racers to perform [[Trick]]s. A large statue of Bowser can be seen in the background. | '''Bowser's Castle 2''' (known as '''Bowser Castle 2''' prior to ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'') is the fourth and last course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''.

The course shares its music with the game's other three Bowser Castles: [[Bowser's Castle 1|1]], [[Bowser's Castle 3|3]], [[Bowser's Castle 4|4]]. | ||
Bowser's Castle 2 reappears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the third race of the [[Banana Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Hammer Bro Tour]]. | |||
==''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''== | |||
===Course layout=== | |||
[[File:MKSC Bowser Castle 2 Screenshot.png|thumb|left|200px|The course in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'']] | |||
As with the other Bowser Castle tracks, Bowser Castle 2 is composed entirely of straightaways and 90° turns. There are also [[Thwomp]]s as obstacles. The course begins with a U-turn to the right followed by a straightaway; at the beginning of this straightaway is a narrow [[Dash Panel|speed strip]] on the left side of the road. Racers then encounter the first set of [[Item Box]]es and make two left turns followed by a right turn and the first Thwomp. There is then a left turn followed by a brief section made out of a metal grid; the grid has several holes in it which are preceded by jump pads, and another speed strip lies on the right side of the track. Racers then take a right turn, with a speed strip on the inside of the turn, and pass another Thwomp. | |||
Another right turn then leads into a section where racers must continuously use jump pads to jump over the lava. The section has multiple potential routes, and an individual Item Box can be found at one of the jumps. It ends with a right turn into another, much longer section that is largely made out of a metal grid. Here, the track initially widens and there are many more holes preceded by jump pads, as well as a pair of Item Boxes in the middle of the track. Towards the end of the section, the track returns to its normal width, and racers make one more right turn soon after. There is then a straightaway with two more Thwomps followed by the finish line. | |||
Throughout the course, [[Lava Bubble]]s also appear as obstacles. They will regularly hop out of the lava through holes in the track and through the gaps where racers hop over the lava. | |||
==''Mario Kart DS''== | ==''Mario Kart DS''== | ||
Bowser Castle 2 makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]]. The layout of the course remains unchanged from the previous iteration, except with its enhanced 3D graphics and all the ramps now encompass [[Dash Panel]]s. The Dash Panel ramps, however, do not actually provide a speed boost, and additionally are accompanied by a whooshing air sound effect. If a racer is shrunk by a [[Lightning]], they cannot complete the first jump necessary for completing this course and will fall to the lava. The course has never been available in Wi-Fi. | |||
===Missions=== | |||
There are two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] that take place on Bowser's Castle 2, both of which [[Bowser]] is used: | |||
*'''Mission 4-5''': The player must collect 15 [[coin]]s gathered at the start of the track within 30 seconds. During this mission, there are two large rows of [[Thwomp]]s present, which the player must avoid getting squished by. All coins are found along these rows. | |||
*'''Mission 5-4''': The player must pass through 10 gates within 65 seconds. | |||

The course reappears once more in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]] | The course reappears once more in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It was added into the game at the start of the [[Hammer Bro Tour]]. Though the standard layout is largely the same, there are now [[Barrel Bomb]]s that are in certain areas, and some of the lava pits are smaller or absent. The platform directly after the first jump has a slightly different layout. The course now has a starting banner with the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo and uses the background of [[Bowser's Castle 1|GBA Bowser's Castle 1]], as well as the arrangement of its music from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. | ||
The course also appeared as '''Bowser's Castle 2R''' (reversed), '''Bowser's Castle 2T''' (with ramps), and '''Bowser's Castle 2R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the Hammer Bro Tour, while the latter was introduced in the [[Trick Tour (2020)|2020 Trick Tour]]. In the T variant, there is a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] at the beginning of the first section with jumps and [[Lava Bubble]]s. In the R/T variant, part of the main road is blocked off by Thwomps and [[wooden cutout]]s, and most racers have to take a detour around. | |||
The course | |||
The course's R/T variant had been absent for thirty-nine tours, from the [[Toad vs. Toadette Tour]] to the [[Bowser Tour (2023)|2023 Bowser Tour]], making it the R/T variant with the longest gap of appearances between tours. It is also the only classic course R/T variant to not appear in 2022. | |||

Bowser's Castle 2 (known as Bowser Castle 2 prior to Mario Kart Tour) is the fourth and last course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Its obstacles are falling Thwomps and thin rectangular gaps in the floor that make drivers fall into the lava below. The track is also notable for its jumping ramps; similar to those found in newer installments (after Mario Kart DS) which allows racers to perform Tricks. A large statue of Bowser can be seen in the background. The course shares its music with the game's other three Bowser Castles: 1, 3, 4.
Bowser's Castle 2 reappears in Mario Kart DS as the third race of the Banana Cup, and in Mario Kart Tour starting with the Hammer Bro Tour.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Course layout
As with the other Bowser Castle tracks, Bowser Castle 2 is composed entirely of straightaways and 90° turns. There are also Thwomps as obstacles. The course begins with a U-turn to the right followed by a straightaway; at the beginning of this straightaway is a narrow speed strip on the left side of the road. Racers then encounter the first set of Item Boxes and make two left turns followed by a right turn and the first Thwomp. There is then a left turn followed by a brief section made out of a metal grid; the grid has several holes in it which are preceded by jump pads, and another speed strip lies on the right side of the track. Racers then take a right turn, with a speed strip on the inside of the turn, and pass another Thwomp.
Another right turn then leads into a section where racers must continuously use jump pads to jump over the lava. The section has multiple potential routes, and an individual Item Box can be found at one of the jumps. It ends with a right turn into another, much longer section that is largely made out of a metal grid. Here, the track initially widens and there are many more holes preceded by jump pads, as well as a pair of Item Boxes in the middle of the track. Towards the end of the section, the track returns to its normal width, and racers make one more right turn soon after. There is then a straightaway with two more Thwomps followed by the finish line.
Throughout the course, Lava Bubbles also appear as obstacles. They will regularly hop out of the lava through holes in the track and through the gaps where racers hop over the lava.
Mario Kart DS
Bowser Castle 2 makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart DS as the third course of the Banana Cup. The layout of the course remains unchanged from the previous iteration, except with its enhanced 3D graphics and all the ramps now encompass Dash Panels. The Dash Panel ramps, however, do not actually provide a speed boost, and additionally are accompanied by a whooshing air sound effect. If a racer is shrunk by a Lightning, they cannot complete the first jump necessary for completing this course and will fall to the lava. The course has never been available in Wi-Fi.
Missions
There are two missions that take place on Bowser's Castle 2, both of which Bowser is used:
- Mission 4-5: The player must collect 15 coins gathered at the start of the track within 30 seconds. During this mission, there are two large rows of Thwomps present, which the player must avoid getting squished by. All coins are found along these rows.
- Mission 5-4: The player must pass through 10 gates within 65 seconds.
Mario Kart Tour
The course reappears once more in Mario Kart Tour. It was added into the game at the start of the Hammer Bro Tour. Though the standard layout is largely the same, there are now Barrel Bombs that are in certain areas, and some of the lava pits are smaller or absent. The platform directly after the first jump has a slightly different layout. The course now has a starting banner with the classic Mario Kart logo and uses the background of GBA Bowser's Castle 1, as well as the arrangement of its music from Mario Kart 7.
The course also appeared as Bowser's Castle 2R (reversed), Bowser's Castle 2T (with ramps), and Bowser's Castle 2R/T (reversed with ramps). The former two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the Hammer Bro Tour, while the latter was introduced in the 2020 Trick Tour. In the T variant, there is a glide ramp at the beginning of the first section with jumps and Lava Bubbles. In the R/T variant, part of the main road is blocked off by Thwomps and wooden cutouts, and most racers have to take a detour around.
The course's R/T variant had been absent for thirty-nine tours, from the Toad vs. Toadette Tour to the 2023 Bowser Tour, making it the R/T variant with the longest gap of appearances between tours. It is also the only classic course R/T variant to not appear in 2022.

Profiles
Mario Kart DS
- Instruction booklet bio: "This course appeared in Mario Kart: Super Circuit™ for the Game Boy Advance™. It's a flat course, but the lava trenches all over make it really dangerous."
- European website bio: "Tight right-angled turns abound on Bowser's turf, as you contend with angry Thwomps threatening to squash your kart into a pancake, make daring boost-assisted leaps over lava pits, and cut corners mere millimetres away from flames hotter than Bowser's breath."
Mario Kart Tour
- Mario Kart Tour Twitter: "Stay on course or you'll take a dip in the lava in Bowser's Castle 2. You'll want to keep an eye out! The path to victory is lined with Thwomps and Barrel Bombs. Keep your wits sharp as you take on Bowser's most fiendish course yet!"[5]
