Switching rooms[1] are a set of three doors appearing in the Mushroom Castle in Super Mario 64 DS. The doors are each marked with the letter of the corresponding player character, and opening them allows the player to switch characters. These doors can be accessed by opening the rightmost 1-★ door on the mezzanine that leads to the princess's room. The switching rooms cannot be opened without the proper keys necessary to unlock them. The keys for unlocking Mario, Luigi, and Wario are found in Goomboss Battle, Big Boo Battle, and Chief Chilly Challenge, respectively. The fourth, white-bordered set of locked doors leads to an empty room. Its key is obtained by catching all eight glowing rabbits. Opening the door to the empty room grants the player a secret Power Star. If the player reenters the empty room after obtaining its Star, Boo laughs are heard, followed by the player character exiting the room and groaning. The set of doors in the middle without a keyhole leads to the Rec Room.
