Rumor has it that it's happened at least once. So it can't be the rarest.
checkmate with 2 queens
checkmate in 8 moves
Castle mate is rare but not rarest
I've done castle mate 3 time already

Promotion to knight checkmate
I've had a promotion to knight checkmate once, ever. It was a game with the guy who taught me to play. He had a massive material advantage, was busy mopping up my few remaining pieces, and didn't much care that I was marching a pawn towards his back rank, because his king was so securely walled up by his own pieces that there was really very little damage a queen could do.
"Checkmate."
"Don't be ridiculous, how could that possibly be checkmate?"
"That is not a queen, that is a knight, and that is checkmate."
I have savoured the look on his face for thirty years.
