This video by marionova64, enters The Bowser Room through a door located in Bowser's Domain. The room is textured differently from the screenshot. The room seems to resemble a battlefield, where the Koopa King is fought. Interestingly enough, the paintings in the wall resemble images from Greenio's tapes, specifically, from the first ever lost tape. As a final note, the room uses the song made by Planet Bobstar, which could confirm that his songs are not fanmade and are actually real.

Theories
Some have theorized that the Bowser Room is associated with the scrapped "bad" ending for Super Mario 64. Another theory states that the room came from a hoax started by an anonymous irish school boy, who after bringing a doctored photo to his school tricked his classmates into believing it. Their wish for it to become real caused the personalization A.I to implement it into the game.
