Master Bowser's Castle in Mario Kart Wii

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle Bowser's Castle! This track is all about precise drifting and using those trick boosts to your advantage. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step.

Walkthrough

1
Right at the start, hit that opening booster jump and immediately perform a trick as you enter the wobbly hallway. This bounce will give you a little extra height.
2
Carefully go down the steps and then drift left and right through the passage. Keep an eye out for the Thwomps – you don't want to get squished!
3
You'll reach a central area with a giant Bowser spitting fireballs. This is where your half-pipe skills come in. You'll need to trick boost up and down the half-pipe sections to cross the muddy parts. Aim to go left, then across to the right, and keep moving forward.
4
The path will split into two. Honestly, both routes are pretty much the same and lead to a booster ramp.
5
When you take the right-hand path, hug the corner wide as you enter the grated area. This will help you avoid the fire spitting from inside.
6
After that, you'll deal with a few more corners that have Thwomps. Pay attention to the set of three Thwomps; the two on the outside drop down at the same time.
7
Hit the next booster ramp and drift left to reach the final straight. This last stretch has fire sprites, but you can drive pretty close to them – just don't drive *over* them!

Tips

Remember, you can perform tricks on that wobbly corridor right as you lift off the ground. It's a great way to get a little boost!
For the central section with Bowser, your timing is key. You'll want to use the half-pipe to trick boost over the first mud patch. For the second mud patch, you can either use the half-pipe again or the ramp. Be careful if you use the ramp, though – you might hit a fireball! If you have a Mushroom, use it on the first mud patch, then rely on the trick boost from the half-pipe or ramp for the second.
To avoid the flames in the grated corner just before the Thwomps, try drifting *right* on the inside edge of the corner.
