'''Bowser in the Dark World''', also simply called the '''Dark World''',<ref> | '''Bowser in the Dark World''', also simply called the '''Dark World''',<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Nintendo DS'' Pocket Guide. Page 376.</ref> is the first [[Bowser]] level in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It is a puzzle-like world with many traps and enemies, with the background displaying a massive dark cavern with sickly green stone spires protruding from the ground and ceiling. The trapdoor entrance is behind the [[Big Star Door]] on the mezzanine of the main floor of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]. Eight [[Power Star]]s (12 in the DS remake) are needed to open this door. | ||
In the corridor before the player enters the [[level]], a painting that depicts [[Princess Peach]] is seen on the far wall. As the player walks closer, the painting becomes a picture of Bowser, and a trapdoor opens in the ground, sending the player into the level. The painting is not able to be reached, as there is an invisible wall between the trapdoor and the painting. | In the corridor before the player enters the [[level]], a painting that depicts [[Princess Peach]] is seen on the far wall.

Two moving platforms | The first section of the level is fairly straightforward. There is a single [[Cap Block|green block]] followed by a [[flamethrower]]. Two moving pyramid-shaped platforms join onto a tall stone platform. The blue route is safer, but it is too steep for [[Mario]] to [[dash|run]] up normally. The stone route is longer and flatter and has [[coin]]s, but there is a flamethrower at the turn of it. More moving platforms lead to the next section of the level. | ||
Next is a wooden octagonal platform with three [[Goomba]]s awaiting Mario, as well as a [[! Block|yellow block]] in the middle containing a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]]. Connected to the platform is a wooden bridge linking to a path made out of a type of green stone. Six unbreakable crystals are stuck in the path, four of which are being circled by [[Amp]]s. At the end of the path is a large stone cube with a yellow rectangular block sliding in and out of it and with a yellow block containing three coins floating above it.

Two sets of circling platforms lead Mario to the final section of the level before the Bowser fight. | ||
The next platform contains a single Goomba. To the left of the platform is a narrow path to a large circular platform containing coins, a 1-UP Mushroom, and an Amp. To the right of the base platform are two turquoise (purple in the DS version) [[seesaw]]s. Behind them, Mario can collect two 1-UP Mushrooms, and on the overhanging platforms, he can collect another two. There are two Goombas on a stone block after the seesaws, after which Mario must climb up some stone platforms to hit a [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]], which activates a staircase that leads Mario to the [[Warp Pipe]] to Bowser. A signpost in front of the pipe has a message from Princess Peach warning Mario of attacks Bowser has and telling him how to defeat him. | |||

Bowser attacks using his trademark [[Fire Breath|fire breath]] in stream, which can burn Mario. He can also jump up and shake the ground if Mario is too far away, stunning Mario if he is not in the air. To defeat Bowser, Mario must grab him by his tail, twirl him around to build up momentum, and then throw him into one of the four [[Floating Mine|bomb]]s available (eight in ''Super Mario 64 DS''). Upon Mario doing so, Bowser admits defeat and disappears, leaving Mario with the [[Key#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Big Key]] to the Mushroom Castle's basement. | ||
