'''Dire, Dire Docks''', also known as '''Waterworld''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #42|page=18|date=September 1996}}</ref> is the ninth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The entrance to the course is through the [[Big Star Door]] to the left of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s main basement room. 30 [[Power Star]]s are needed to unlock the door. The entrance to Dire, Dire Docks is a large water-like portal, and walking or [[jump]]ing through it brings the player to the course. Before the player collects the course's first Power Star, the course's entrance portal covers the hole that leads to [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], but once the player collects the Power Star, the entrance to Dire, Dire Docks moves back to the end of the hall, opening Bowser in the Fire Sea. Additionally, [[Bowser]]'s Sub<ref name=Sub>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980610064831/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/9-1.html|title="Course 9 - Star 1: Board Bowser's Sub Bowser in the Dark World" - ''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy''|publisher=Nintendo.com|accessdate=May 27, 2024}}</ref> (or the Submarine)<ref name=Sub/> in Dire, Dire Docks does not move until Bowser in the Fire Sea is completed.


This course shares the same music as [[Jolly Roger Bay]]. When [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] is in the tunnel (at its entrance in the [[Nintendo 64]] version, or halfway through it in the DS version), synths are added to the music; when the player character is on land in the second area, a drum beat is added to the music.
'''Dire, Dire Docks''' is the second water-themed level in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Dire, Dire Docks is the ninth course of both games. Much like [[Jolly Roger Bay]], Dire Dire Docks has a large body of water and marine life throughout the level. The starting area is a deep lake with a whirlpool at the center and an underwater tunnel that connects to a cave where [[Bowser]]'s Sub is docked.


==Layout==
Dire Dire Docks doesn't have a painting, instead it's a vertical wall to wall rippling blue portal. It can be located in the basement, near the door to the area with [[MIPS]]. [[Mario]] will need 30 [[Power Star]]s before he can enter it.
[[File:SM64DS Dire Dire Docks Map.png|frame|left|Map of Dire, Dire Docks in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'']]
A majority of the course is underwater, like Jolly Roger Bay greatly resembling the real-world geological phenomenon of a cenote. The player immediately starts falling into a body of [[water]], and in the DS version of the game, there are some [[block (Super Mario 64)|Black Brick]]s and [[Skeeter]]s on the surface. Below the surface are [[Cheep Cheep|Bub]]s, a [[Manta|Manta Ray]], a [[whirlpool]] that will make the player lose a life if they get trapped in it, and several [[treasure chest|Treasure Chest]]s along the bottom. A large tunnel connects the two areas of the course, and there is a place to come up for air halfway through the tunnel.


The next area of the course has several [[clam|clam shell]]s along the floor, a cage containing a Power Star to the left, and a grate spouting [[bubble ring]]s. If Bowser in the Fire Sea has yet to be completed, Bowser's Sub will be on the water's surface. Otherwise, the Sub will be missing and a large exit into the [[Castle Grounds]] will be open to the south. If the player goes near the exit, it will suck them up, but there is also a line of [[coin]]s near it. Above the surface is a boardwalk with [[Cap Block|green and blue block]]s that contain the [[Metal Cap]] and [[Vanish Cap]], respectively, as well as a [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]] that creates [[block (Super Mario 64)|block]]s to the platforms above when stood on. Several [[pole]]s slide across the ceiling of this course, but they will not appear if the Sub is present.
A large door with a star on it can be seen in the basement, the portal is here in a hallway. When Mario completes the Board Bowser's Sub level, the portal will move backwards, revealing a hole in the ground that leads to [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]]. When Bowser is defeated, the sub will be gone, and a passage will open, making a warp outside [[Peach's Castle]].

==Missions==
There are a total of 106 coins in the level, so getting the 100 coin star can be very hard. Only 6 coins can be passed up, so collect every single one the player came across.
