Step inside Bowser's Castle, where you'll pass the hall of medallions and trophies before the big race. Then step into your race vehicle and battle Team Bowser alongside Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach on iconic Mario Kart courses. Throughout the race, collect coins and throw shells to win the Golden Cup.

Our Overview

Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge draws inspiration from the beloved Mario Kart video games. During the ride, you race through various tracks, hurling shells at iconic characters from the games, creating a cool and familiar experience. It's worth noting that despite this being a racing attraction, the ride vehicles move at a slow pace. The attraction incorporates physical sets, projection mapping, and augmented reality to immerse you in the action. However, first-time riders may find some aspects confusing. Moreover, the augmented reality elements can sometimes divert attention from the sets and be disorientating for some guests.
