K'nex Bowser's Castle GCN

Bowser has invited you and many of the racers to a little Halloween Party at his castle again this year. A race through his creepy dungeons should get you in the spirit! Hold on tight to those steering columns as you evade the evils that are locked away in Bowser's Castle from the Game Cube.

Happy Halloween everyone! Thanks for you patience with getting new videos out. My last project was over halfway filmed and starting the editing process, but I wasn't happy with the results. So I scrapped the project for the time being and started focusing on my Halloween collection again. Bowser's Castle GCN is the first one this year. I have plans to upload two others this season also.

You'll see many familiar elements from Bowser's Castle Wii. These courses are quite similar in design and appearance. Both have a stone bowser, similar entrances and the thwomp hallways. I wanted to include the the Double Dash element and decided to introduce Shy Guy, Parakoopa, and King Boo as co-pilots. Hope you enjoyed seeing them added in.

The firecogs I opted to build them bigger more like the actual cogs in the game. So instead of using the ones made by k'nex I used two sets of the fire balls and connected them end to end effectively. And then added a motor to keep them spinning nice and steady.

The lava may not appear as good as it did last year. I never intended to use the lava more than once. So when I made it last year, I used cardboard as my canvas. But with the creases in the cardboard the paint has cracked and chipped in several places. So I apolgize about that. I'm hoping to replace the lava and use several flat board for a future canvas. Once again, by changing the lighting and saturation of colors the lava can be made to glow.

Hope you guys liked it!
