That haunted me for a while. I tried to save for it myself, but it was gone by the time we next visited.

Without knowing what it actually was, I knew what I wanted it to be: a lair for Bowser Koopa as I played with my Mario figurines. Stuff like the spiked wall and lava pool made it a good fit, and with a bit of imagination, it fit in with stuff like his castle from SMB3 or the Valley of Bowser from World.

I had one when I was a kid. Got it at Woolco. I don’t recall seeing the second version though., The one with the firing shield.
