Crystal Taps,[1]:95–98 also known as crystal switches[2] or diamonds,[3] are objects in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. Five of them appear at Wet-Dry World,[4]:95 as well as two more in the underwater town, and every Crystal Tap either lowers or raises the height of the water, depending on the depth, as the water always goes up to one of the Crystal Taps.
