Mario Kart 64: Bowser's Castle

By popular request, I present the music from Bowser's Castle in Mario Kart 64.

[@foxinpox]

I always wondered why that one thwomp was behind bars.

[@ilovecorpseparty9379]

He was in trouble so bowser grounded him

[@joshuaarmstrong7576]

i love corpse party lol.

[@AliceFireQueen]

I think he's not green. Maybe he's blue like the others but the lighting inside the cage just makes him look like he's green.

[@cronaman3196]

his name is actually marty. the fanbase has theories about him

[@jasonjungreis203]

He was arrested for trying to crush Mario:0

[@josephnajarian2038]

Hands down my favorite Mario Kart track of all time.

[@Alouette_EXE]

I can imagine the undeads chanting and trying to summon something really powerful. Kinda creepy.

[@superilikeeggsyo]

HolyDemon017 They're trying to summon the thwomp that's in jail.

[@daneeckhart4029]

Mabel Pines: “Not as creepy as Dipper’s Internet history”.

[@poumayraceric7145]

Lyrics: AaaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaaah aaaaaah AaAaAaH Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaahah aaaaaaaaah aaaaaah aah aaah aah aah ooh ohh oooh oooooh aaah aaah aaaaaah ah

[@mcalpha3]

This game is over 20 years old. I feel ancient!

[@nelsonvazquezramirez2011]

And now 24 years old

[@Serperior-Deoxys]

*shoves my Super Mario Kart under the bed and whistles casually* Yeah, all the classics make me feel old now. Especially with the newest generation not all knowing the Super Mario Bros theme...

[@novax4farris163]

26 years

[@redlion517]

As much as I like this music, it honestly doesn't sound like anything you'd hear in a Mario game.

[@KonaKonaKaabisteru]

So atmosheric and sinister... Definitely one of my favorites tracks in whole Mario Kart-series...

[@9773an]

And the item that has an all time record for most ruined friendships THE BLUE SHELL

[@EqualsPeach]

17 people got Thwomped. Or crashed into things. Or fell into the lava.

[@awakenedlink37]

One of the best Bowser's Castle courses!!! That fire-breathing Bowser statue is iconic

[@daneeckhart4029]

Best Bowser’s Castle music ever in video game music history.

[@AirJordan2380920]

The Blow-on-the-Cartridge-to-get-it-to-Work Era at its finest.

[@MKL122788]

This is, by far, the best, most memorable track music from this game. It is both haunting and sinister. It has many layers, which are reflected in the many dangers this track has to offer.

[@2KRICHKID]

this theme creeps me out! feel like I am being watch by someone!

[@oytho3473]

True! Three days remain

[@XxAfroCoreBassxX]

Brings back fond memories of when I was afraid to death to drive under those fucking ugly rocks and when I finally conquered that fear like a boss.

[@MatthewAran]

Same here. Those thwomps used to scare the hell out of me. So when I was a kid I would just hang out at the starting line and never finish the race.

[@sierratyree3168]

I have always loved this theme for Bowser's Castle! It's so eerie, yet so well done! A very distinguished choice for this track's music! ^^

[@TwilightGrl2009]

I found this one creepy as hell. Although i remember there was a green rock thing behind bars and till this day i couldn't figure it out why it was there.

[@RockStoneLee19]

My Favorite Track in all Mario Karts. Even though it's very chaotic.

[@FaloRoy010203]

This one was my favorite track from the game. Nice track design, obstacles, and great music.

[@ErikZarins]

the song gives me chills.......

[@SIFAssassin]

Fun fact. The Thwomp's laugh in this stage is just Wario's laugh slowed down.

[@LucidBunbun]

I love this map but one thing I always hated was the bridge pass the lava inside the castle I always fell off trying to pass other characters haha.

[@XmortoxX1990]

Best Mario Kart theme ever!

[@joshuaarmstrong7576]

Your know your evil if you got a bad ass theme like this.

[@j7caiman]

I was too busy trying to avoid all the Thwomps and the lava to really listen to the music until now. It's very eerie yet serene.

[@aileenspringer4158]

Miss being a kid. And couldn't wait til i got home from skool. This is my favorite.

[@WaffleDude9001]

As good as this is, Marty must have gone insane listening to this 24/7.

[@jayhow92]

This song is so legit! I love the middle eastern ambience of the song!

[@TrunkJunky]

My absolute FAVORITE course in all of Mario Kart 64. I'm glad to see it remastered in Mario Kart Wii with this awesome music intact.

[@ZefDavenport]

Nobody will ever know why that guy was locked away, and would only laugh when you approached him. That thing haunted me for many years as a kid.

[@SchoolRumbleX]

Mind = Blown Thwomp's laugh = Wario's laugh slowed down

[@AnnaRose895]

Fun fact: The fire from Bowser statue at the beginning of the track can never actually hit you, regardless of how close you are to it

[@Deader87]

EPIC & MAJESTIC-SOUNDING!!!

[@davidstrawn9272]

I remembered playing this game in 2003, I felt that this music sounds like a scary Jungle music from the beginning!

[@eskeleto702]

Bowser ftw! and his BGM rocks! lol thanks bring back memories n_n

[@TrunkJunky]

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE track from MK64. I'm glad it made it into Mario Kart Wii. :D d

[@supersonicmario56]

dodging the large flamethrower into a room full of falling thwomps and a prisoner right into more thwomps that block your path then driving into even more thwomps sliding left and right then crossing over a rugged bridge over a pool of lava down the stairs to 90 degree turns and drifting a spiral up to the top of the castle then a leap of faith over more lava right to the finish line boy, bowser is one INSANE koopa

[@tylerwisner8682]

And then we eventually found out that it actually does more harm than good because saliva particles from the blowing into it corrode the contacts of the cartridges.

[@AWEDDDD]

I Love those laughing thwomps moving left and right

[@Nothavinit00]

I still have this game and my original N64.

[@TFOT54]

this is prolly one of the best games on n64 i remember wqhen i got it i was so stoked good times

[@Soob4ME]

If there was ever a reason me and my sister ever got along, it was because of this game. Great song... so many good memories flooding back.

[@NINgameTENmasterDO]

this was my favorite track when i was growing up, the sound of this music just made me want to get into first faster ;)

[@anyogambito4406]

i remember this race in the mario kart wii but my mom thinked that the song was soo creepy and change the race but then i telled her that why she not said nothing when this song appeared when i played in the original mario kart 64 in the time i played whit my cousin she dont sayed nothing in my mind FUCK YEAH

[@brandyschaoticslave]

LOVED THIS LEVEL!!!!!

[@gtapoops]

[@NarutoTheDumbass]

[@traverewarren1039]

This theme is a masterpiece God I miss playing these games best games ever better than all those violent black ops games

[@dan74695]

Nah, the first two Black Ops games were amazing

[@ismld]

i love this castle

[@everyfaya3765]

Favorite song (;

[@Deangelo21530]

Somebody please make a hip hop remix of this!!

[@oeyvindk]

It would have been epic if the Bowser theme from SM64 was used on this track.

[@XxYYHLoverxX]

i love Bowser's Castle! It's epic! XD

[@ollfriezallo]

this theme is LEET!!! I cant wait till halloween an it goes on my myspace x)

[@Kameron87]

This is probably the most ominous music found on any Mario OST.

[@Deader87]

Pure & Utter gothic-relaxation to the max!!!

[@GigaBowserMan]

Two Thumbs way up! 100/100 cause it's awesome no questions asked.

[@dd02301]

One of my favorites!!!!

[@sithmorpheus9747]

Banger

[@josornio300]

Epic track

[@TheCrowneJewel]

this was my fav song on mario kart 64

[@youzettasonsofdigits1639]

Sometimes I liked to go on time trials and just back up against the wall to get the cameraman trapped in the cage with the laughing thwomp to try to make the scariest scenario possible lol

[@playoffexpert1]

dude i love that thing at Kalamari Desert where if u got past the first two trains u would overlap people, i love the whole mushroom cup on 64

[@dakingm4668]

Nice beat

[@halfwolf66]

AHH the memoris

[@TAIYOUNEKO]

This music makes me smile... I don't know why.

[@starfox7673]

It's a Thwomp maniac. X]

[@roshipower]

best bowser castle from all mario karts

[@Tails919]

This game is my favourite Racing Game.

[@AFSKID]

This was my second game on the n64. Got it back when i was 4 years old :3

[@playoffexpert1]

lol wow, ya know that small bridge in the midde of the course, wen i was little i ALWAYS used to fall off that! it was so irritating, but ive overcome that now =)

[@daneeckhart4029]

Bowser’s Castle more like Satan’s Castle.

[@BiohazardSheikah]

I miss this game so much. T^T

[@lonestar98]

sick

[@rameitori]

That long turn along the towers, going to the roof. I don't think I've ever been able to do it without hitting the walls.

[@Freestyleh7]

"Press Start Dork" LOOOOL

[@ChallengeR1127]

darn good music that almost beats double dash.....

[@ReveiwKing999]

The three greatest Bowser themes of the N64 era: This, Bowser's Road from SM64, and Bowser's Magma Mountain from Mario Party 1.

[@redneon06]

me too since '96 i been playing

[@aztecsword12]

never got to play MK64, but i love this track on MKWii. The music just adds to the epicness of racing on WiFi on this course.

[@Bobby_Corwen]

11 people were so frustrated by this course that they disliked this song out of sheer bad memories.

[@fairiegirl2992]

No, because he laughed evilly when I came over to him!

[@CeilingFans4UrLife]

The first time i play this track in wii it was so hard but now as easy as pie.The music really creap me out till i thought my sister is a ghost at night.

[@xL717]

This place outclasses the other Bowser castles in Mario Kart.

[@Plasmariel]

Still feel the same way after 15 years? Hi.

[@Legendairyman9]

That green thwomp...so many mytseries...

[@theodorovt]

This song creeps me out it because reminds me of all the bad things that happened in my childhood

[@anriric23]

this music really creeps me out when a was little and the twomps laugh sounds like he was saying"BURN hehehe.=D

[@Firebreather01]

I remember when i first got this game, i was wondering if the cage at the beginnig was some sort of short cut or something lol. i tried all these different things to get in there

[@butwhyyyythough]

holy crap, it kinda does! haha i agree with you

[@MysticMisdreavus]

This sounds like the kind of music that would be used in a haunted house!

[@PlusTheFrog]

I ALWAYS KEPT FALLING INTO THE LAVA.

[@AaronShowbiz]

A couple nights ago I had the strangest, and most bizarre dream.... I dunno what the hell I was dreamin' about, but throughout the entire dream, this song was heard...

[@alexchrisccc]

nintendo 64 best console ever!!! the games had good music also! good times...

[@ficherman555]

i love mario cart

[@Roblox1111111111111]

I Know Man... Bowser's Castle Was My Track Of Choice To... I Would Always Win On That One...

[@thewhomp14]

Speaking of Wario, the Thwomps Laugh in this game is Wario's laugh slowed down.

[@GEhotpants101]

The green whomp that's laughing like a crazy person in a cage... I used to get stuck on him all the time...

[@mad_quack]

it sounds sad somewhat but to me, bowser always has the best music in these games

[@bja808]

The Mario kart 64 was honestly the best Mario kart in the series in my opinion

[@BASEJOCK11]

I wish they would remaster it with a few new characters and updated graphics

[@Davidevgen]

i dont know if any one has noticed this but in mk64 the lava is higher wile in the wii version the lava is lower. the volcano under bowers castle must have been more active in the 90's lol

[@MysticMisdreavus]

I've always wondered that, also. He's still locked up in Mario Kart Wii.

[@TheSupericedragon]

this is scary i love the ds bowser's caste music this is waaah scary
