Mario's Rainbow Castle is the first (but not default) map within the game. It is a simple course, where players go from the beginning (in the bottom-right corner) to the end (on the pedestal at the center) to collect a star.
There are two branches in the map.
The first branch is a long detour, but leads to a big boo. The Boo can steal either coins or stars from other players.
The second branch is a short side trip. The outer path is slightly longer and provides access to better bonuses. However, you cannot use this path to avoid a green event tile (but you can take it in a rare hope that you may get the other event place or that another player steps on any event place.
Entering a green event tile will cause Toad to switch places with Bowser.
When you reach the end of the map, you can receive a star. If Toad is present, he will sell you a star for 20 coins. However, if Bowser is present, he will take 40 coins and give you a fake star in exchange. Whenever a player meets either Toad or Bowser, they will exchange places.
The Koopa Troopa will give you 10 coins each time you pass the starting location.
