GBA Bowser’s Castle 4 - Mariokart Tour

This exciting remake of Bowser’s Castle 4 from the Game Boy Advance is in tour and its very amazing.

[@supermariomadness2510]

It's great they made Bowser's Castle 4 1 big lap because this is the biggest Bowser's Castle in the entire series

[@NetheriteBloxSquad]

I agree and it’s executed much better than Wii Rainbow Road. Theres a distinct difference between the 1st and 2nd section.

[@bogonelle]

@@NetheriteBloxSquadi think the reason for that is that wii rainbow road was added simply to be in 8, which was at the forefront of design, and they just slapped the gimmick in there

This version of Bowser Castle 4 looks off the charts! I wish they had this course, and yoshi dessert on Mario Kart 8.

MK9 is just beyind the horizon for switch 2😏

​@@frankieseward8667which could mean Airship Fortress on a console Mario Kart

[@endstoneninja3845]

Why is no one pointing out the potential lore behind this track’s remake? The original version had this huge bowser core, and that core is now gone. Maybe the core exploded, hence why the castle has parts that are broken? (I didn’t come up with this btw, I saw a comment talking about it)

[@Paul-lt8le]

because its mario kart and no one cares about the lore lmao

[@calzoneyed]

I knowww it's such a cool little detail. Definitely clever on the developer's part. I love it when they do stuff like this

[@PeachyFanboy]

There is even smoke around the track Indicating the bomb must have exploded

[@thediscodevil0949]

⁠@@Paul-lt8leI’m another person that cares about the lore. :’)

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

Too bad they didn’t bring this course back in the BCP.

[@AidenEmerson]

Ironic considering the last 3 games each added a GBA Bowser Castle

[@noahexam]

This castle could be in the next wave from the Booster Pass. We NEED a another Bowser Castle in MK8 Deluxe!!! 😬

[@NetheriteBloxSquad]

I personally think that if they are going to add this track, they would definitely add it in wave 6, but yes 8 deluxe definitely needs another bowser’s castle, especially if there’s 4 rainbow roads and potentially 5 if Wii Rainbow Road gets added.

[@azurai3934]

It’ll either be this or SNES BC3, the added verticality in that one would be interesting to see in 8DX like Ninja Hideaway.

[@harrybest2041]

It can't. Datamines have deconfirmed it. Sunset Wilds is the last GBA course.

[@Homing3000]

​@@harrybest2041datamines don't mean anything

[@harrybest2041]

@@Homing3000 That's not true. Datamines might not be 1-1 with the final product, but it doesn't mean they're entirely incorrect and don't mean anything at all. Some of the prefixes not matching the datamine wave 3 onwards is a result of the order changing, not courses getting replaced, as proven by their internal names. Moonview Highway's internal name is 'Cnsw_63', but Mario Kart Tour never had any ID gap for a supposed "scrapped new course", so the lack of a prefix was most likely only a placeholder. Excluding variants and courses that were included in wave 1, all of the courses in the banner have already been released: • New York Minute • Mario Circuit 3 • Waluigi Pinball • Sydney Sprint • Sky-High Sundae • London Loop • Maple Treeway • 3DS Rainbow Road • Amsterdam Drift • DK's Snowboard Cross • Bangkok Rush • Waluigi Stadium • Singapore Speedway • Los Angeles Laps • Sunset Wilds • Koopa Cape • Vancouver Velocity All of the courses that had prefetches of an early version of their theme datamined have also all been released: • London Loop • Boo Lake • Alpine Pass • Maple Treeeay • Berlin Byways • Peach Gardens • Merry Mountain • 3DS Rainbow Road • Amsterdam Drift • Bangkok Rush • Waluigi Stadium • Singapore Speedway • Los Angeles Laps • Sunset Wilds • Vancouver Velocity

[@lordsaladito]

the only thing i dont like is that they removed the giant nuclear core from the background

[@coolkidkr9241]

I honestly kinda like that they removed it. It’s track story telling in a way. It blew up.

[@Derpmaster-zy7qi]

Actually the nuclear core exploded and now the castle got destroy so let’s call it Bowser’s Ruins 4

[@steveluvscows2490]

Notice how THIS particular iteration of GBA Bowser's Castle is MUCH different from the other ones. Not only is the background in ruins, while the other three (even Bowser's Castle 3) just reuse Mario Kart 7's background, but it's also the only course to recieve a MASSIVE change to its layout, whereas the other three courses were much closer to their respective versions from their original appearance in Super Circuit and their respective remakes in MK7, MKDS and MKWii respectively. I may be overthinking it, but MIGHT just all but deconfirm that this particular version of the track will be featured (possibly alongside SNES Bowser's Castle 3) in Wave 6 of the Booster Course Pass. Edit: Well THAT didn't age well.

[@isaiahvang144]

Pro: The track looks phenomenal! Con: Once again with Wii Rainbow Road, its 2 SECTIONS instead of 2 LAPS.

[@NetheriteBloxSquad]

I respect your opinion but me personally I think this is a good thing for this track, its so long that we would take about 3 minutes to do 2 laps. Unlike Wii Rainbow Road where 2 laps isn’t that bad on it yet they still split it.

[@isaiahvang144]

@@NetheriteBloxSquad I know. I understand that this Bowser's Castle course is too long for 2 Laps.

[@slimballs9650]

@@NetheriteBloxSquad I very much disagree. It is long, but not long enough to warrant it being split into 3 sections. In fact, I think only 1 lap around the track is too short. And besides, if it takes about 3 minutes to take 2 laps, then it would take about 1.5 minutes for a single lap, except the world record for this track in Super Circuit is a little over that. Also, one of the big changes is the end portion having 2 completely separate paths. Allowing for 2 laps at least would allow players to take both paths at least once.

[@johnphillips5993]

Its so sad that this is lost media because this remake is on a whole new level. It would’ve been perfect for the BCP

[@AidenEmerson]

It'll be perfect with visual effort in the next game

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

One of the only Tour remakes I might prefer over the OG version.

[@phantomloard0138]

I really want gba bowser castle 4 instead of snes bowser castle three in bcp

[@frankieseward8667]

Well there's akways 9.

[@smxproductionsmegaxcorpora6391]

If only they added this on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

[@JaxsonRives-g9j]

Way to go and poochy with the blue shell

[@greenisgood23]

I’d rather have this Bowser Castle than Bowser Castle 3 in the BCP

[@imirward2169]

Yeah, plus, I don't like what they did to it I'm the tour version.

[@greenisgood23]

@@imirward2169 I mean, SNES Bowser Castle 3 on tour is not entirely bad, just not as exciting as what they did with GBA Bowser Castle 4

[@Nokyyyyy]

I wabt this one in the next game

[@leont7956]

this is cool but its a 2 section track so im not sure how it would fit into mk8 deluxe, snes would probably be better

[@MinisterChicken]

Maybe they’d make it 2 laps? I think that would work

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

They would have make it 2 or 3 laps in MK8DX, like they did with Wii Rainbow Road.

[@alllikewas8223]

If they remade this in mk8 I’d see this having 3 laps tbh

[@alllikewas8223]

I meant 3 sections whoops

[@MinisterChicken]

Idk I feel like they should make it a full 2 lap course

[@frankieseward8667]

2 laps us a better udea
