-'''Bowser's Castle 3''' (known as '''Bowser Castle 3''' prior to ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'') is the fourth and final course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. It reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the second course of the [[Leaf Cup]] and in ''Mario Kart Tour'' starting from the [[Bowser Tour (2022)|2022 Bowser Tour]]. Like all other Bowser Castle courses, it features sharp 90 degree turns and jumps over pits of lava. [[Kamek]] can also be seen flying back and forth near the finish line. The course takes place on the exterior of the castle, with storm clouds and lightning visible in the background. In ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', the course shares its music with the other three Bowser Castles: [[GBA Bowser's Castle 1|1]], [[GBA Bowser's Castle 2|2]], and [[GBA Bowser's Castle 4|4]].

+===Course layout===
 The track starts with a turn to the left after the starting line, leading to a straight section of track containing the first set of [[Item Box]]es and [[Coin]]s which narrows after passing a [[Lava]] grid. The track then takes another left turn past two [[Thwomp]]s, and then turns to the right over a pair of lava grids with more coins. The track then takes another right towards some coins and then makes a U-turn to the left over another grid featuring a pair of Thwomps. The track then passes over a number of small [[Ramp]]s over the lava moving slightly to the right, with [[Lava Bubble]]s occasionally jumping up from the lava. The track passes another two Thwomps, with an Item Box behind the first one approached, and makes a U-turn to the left, leading to three more Thwomps and several more coins. The track heads to the right and passes over another grid in the lava, now with holes in it through which Lava Bubbles can occasionally jump, and then follows a zig zag shape to the right featuring more coins and Item Boxes. The track then makes a final turn to the left past another pair of Thwomps and over another lava grid with holes before returning to the starting line.

 ===Tournaments===
-In ''Mario Kart Wii'', a tournament took place on this track. Players had to go through a total of 30 gates, and were restricted to only using karts. It was the second tournament of February 2009, but its information was accidentally given for February 2009's first tournament, which took place at [[Block Plaza]] and had a different objective. This tournament was repeated as the second tournament of February 2011, the first tournament of June 2012, and the second tournament of August 2013.

-Bowser's Castle 3 reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Bowser Tour (2022)|2022 Bowser Tour]]. Instead of having a unique appearance, the course now reuses the visuals of the other three GBA Bowser's Castle courses in this game. More ramps have been added to the course, most notably on the bridge at the end, which was slightly redesigned. All offroad sections and the additional ramp added in ''Mario Kart Wii'' have been removed. The U-turn after the series of jumps is noticeably shortened. The diagonal portion of the track has also been reworked to be wider and shorter. The coins have been re-added to the course, and Item Boxes can no longer appear instead of Lava Bubbles.

Like the other GBA Bowser's Castle courses in the game and RMX Bowser's Castle 1, this course reuses ''Mario Kart 7''{{'}}s arrangement for GBA Bowser's Castle 1.
-As with other courses in the game, Bowser's Castle 3 has a reverse variant, a trick variant, and a reverse/trick variant, referred to as '''Bowser's Castle 3R''', '''Bowser's Castle 3T''', and '''Bowser's Castle 3R/T''' respectively. The reverse/trick variant was added in the [[New Year's Tour (2023)|2023 New Year's Tour]]; unlike most other trick and reverse/trick variants in the game, the ramps added to the track are more haphazard in their composition. Like the other GBA Bowser's Castle courses in the game and RMX Bowser's Castle 1, this course reuses ''Mario Kart 7''{{'}}s arrangement for GBA Bowser's Castle 1.
+The course also appears as '''Bowser's Castle 3R''' (reversed), '''Bowser's Castle 3T''' (with ramps), and '''Bowser's Castle 3R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The latter first debuted in the [[New Year's Tour (2023)|2023 New Year's Tour]]. In the T variant, there is a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] which only becomes available on lap 2. In the R/T variant, a lot of the ramps are haphazardly placed in a way not seen on other T or R/T variants of tracks.
