The '''Cavern of the Metal Cap''' (called | The '''Cavern of the Metal Cap''' (called '''Metal Cap Switch Course''' in the message that appears upon entering) or '''Metal Cap Cavern'''<ref>The ''Super Mario 64'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]], page 59.</ref> is a cave in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' that contains the [[Metal Cap]]'s [[! Switch]]. The entrance is located in [[Hazy Maze Cave]], behind a set of double doors in the underground lake area. It is the only level to be entered inside another level in the N64 version, and one of the only two levels to be entered inside another level in the DS version, the other being [[Big Boo Battle]] in [[Big Boo's Haunt]]. In order to reach it, the player must traverse to the underwater cavern in Hazy Maze Cave. The player then has to get on top of [[Dorrie]]'s head and then steer him over to the small patch of ground outside the double doors. Upon entering the double doors, the player will have to go through a short hallway, at the end of which is another pool of liquid metal, much like the one that is used to enter Hazy Maze Cave in the first place. [[Jump]]ing into it will transport the player to the Cavern of the Metal Cap. | ||
In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the area was retitled '''Behind the Waterfall''', and the | In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the area was retitled '''Behind the Waterfall''', and the green ! Switch was removed. However, a second [[Power Star]] was added, which can be reached only by [[Mario]] using a [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]]. A sign, however, continues to refer to the cavern as the '''Metal Cavern'''. | ||

Upon entering the cave, Mario is automatically turned into [[Metal Mario (form)|Metal Mario]] and is therefore invulnerable to the stream's current. The water is moving very fast and can sweep Mario out the cave's one-way exit (which will lead him to the waterfall outside the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]) if he is not careful. Directly before the exit through the waterfall is a [[! Block]] containing a [[1-Up Mushroom]] as well, which can be obtained only if Mario gets a Metal Cap. The only enemies that appear are [[Snufit]]s, and a [[Goomba]] in the DS version. The DS version also has a [[Bob-omb Buddy]]. If the player presses the ! Switch, all of the green ! Blocks in the game will activate, granting access to the Metal Cap in later courses. | ||
