Master Mission 7-2 in Super Mario Kart! Learn the best strategy to beat Bowser in Bowser Castle, including item usage, power sliding, and avoiding hazards.

Alright, so Mission 7-2 is all about beating Bowser himself on his home turf, Bowser Castle. This one's a bit of a race against time and a tough opponent, but we can totally get through it!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as the race starts, hit that turbo boost right away. You'll want to hug the right side of the track to dodge any blockades that pop up in the middle.
  2. 2
    Keep an eye out for Thwomps – those big falling rocks are no joke. Grab an item box when you can; you'll likely get a Mushroom or a Star, which are super helpful here.
  3. 3
    Power slide your way through the next few turns. When you get to the rotating room, keep power sliding to the far side. Watch out for the flames and another Thwomp lurking further down.
  4. 4
    Grab another item box, then drift around the spiral tower. Make sure to power slide at the very top opening.
  5. 5
    Now, you'll see the rolling bridge. Super important: DO NOT go on it! Instead, use your boost or Star power and launch yourself straight off the platform to the ground below. Trust me, this way you keep your momentum, unlike falling from the bridge where you just drop straight down.
  6. 6
    Boost across the grassy area and head up the path, power sliding around the corner. Grab another item box if you can.
  7. 7
    After the jump, boost across the middle of the moving platforms. Don't linger, or you might fall! Power slide around the next corner and then head up the hill.
  8. 8
    Finish strong by power sliding around the last couple of turns at the top of the hill. You'll complete the lap!
Tips

  • Mastering the power slide and boost timing will make a huge difference. Practice makes perfect!
