'''Hazy Maze Cave''' is an underground cave level and course six in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In both games this course is located in the basement of [[Princess Peach's Castle]].

Hazy Maze Cave is an underground cave. A map can be found in many areas of the course. The course has many hidden ledges, nooks, crannies, and alcoves, countless bottomless pits, and even an underground lake complete with a large but friendly sea monster named [[Dorrie]].

The Hazy Maze, the level's namesake, is located deep within the cave. The Hazy Maze is a labyrinth whose passageways are clouded with a highly toxic yellow gas (purple in the remake). Mario's health is slowly depleted the longer he stays in the maze, and he will eventually suffocate if he is unable to get fresh air. To make matters worse, the Hazy Maze is full of [[Snufit|Snufits]], [[Monty Mole|Monty Moles]], and [[Swooper]]s that can hinder Mario's progress. Fortunately for Mario, there are small areas of higher ground scattered throughout the maze, a [[Metal Box]] ([[Metal Mario]] is unaffected by the poisonous fumes), and several escape routes that are clearly marked on the map just outside the entrance. Obtaining certain Stars requires the use of certain escape routes.

Some people mistakenly believe that the entire course is the Hazy Maze, however the ''Hazy Maze'' title only applies to the aforementioned maze.

There is a special hidden area in this course called the [[Metal Cavern]] that can be accessed through a door near the underground lake. The [[Metal Cap]]'s [[! Switch]] is located here, along with eight more Red Coins that can be collected to receive one of the castle's Secret Stars.

This is one of the few levels not accessed via a painting; instead, Mario must enter the door to the right of the entrance to [[Lethal Lava Land]] and jump into a pool of liquid metal inside. 

==''Super Mario 64''==

===Star 1: Swimming Beast In The Cavern===
As the name implies, Mario has to go to deep into the cave to the area where [[Dorrie]] can be found. At the begging of the mission you have to go immediately to the left and do the long-jump, the go up the small hill where the rolling rocks are coming at you, after you avoid the rock go into the door and you'll see an elevator, it will take you directly to the bottom of the cavern where Dorrie can be found, swim to it and get on his back, once you get on his back ground-pound it and Dorrie will lower his head, allowing you to get on it, lead Dorrie to the small isle on the middle of the lake and you get the Power Star.

In the DS version of the game, Dorrie will be wearing a Wario cap, once you get on his head you'll grab the cap and turn into Wario, when you get to the isle in the middle of the lake there will be a boulder in the middle of the isle, as Wario punch the boulder to break it revealing the Power Star.

===Star 2: Elevate For 8 Red Coins===
[[Image:HazyMazeElevator.JPG|thumb|right|Mario riding the elevator.]]
By going down the right corridor instead of the left upon first entering the level, Mario can access the other side of the course. After leaping over fire pits and avoiding pesky [[Scuttle Bug|Scuttle Bugs]], Mario finds a door at the end of the corridor. Entering it and sliding down a long pole brings Mario to the large underground "plaza" area of the course. In one corner of this area is a staircase formation that leads to an unusual floating platform. This platform has four arrow switches on it, and will move in the direction of the arrow switch that is pressed. Mario must collect the eight [[Red Coin|Red Coins]] by navigating a midair obstacle course. Once all eight Coins have been collected, a Star appears at the [[Star Marker]] on the floor.

===Star 3: Metal Head Mario Can Move===
After activating the [[Metal Cap]] switch, Mario should return to the level and take the left corridor. After avoiding the falling rocks, Mario should reach the elevator. Looking around, the player should see a metal cap block. Hitting it will release the cap and turn Mario full metal. Using the added weight to sink to the floor, Mario should enter the water and follow the path. He'll reach a large [[! Switch]] and stepting on it will open up the crate doors allowing access to the door behind it. The star will be behind the door across the two pits.

In ''Super Mario 64'', it is possible to ground pound from the edge into the water and hit the switch without the metal cap (however it is difficult to achieve).

In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Wario is needed as he is the character with the metal powers.

===Star 4: Navigating The Toxic Maze===

As the name implies you have to go to the area of the toxic smoke, all you have to do to avoid losing life bars is turn yourself into [[Metal Mario]]([[Wario]] in DS version, [[Luigi]]'s invisibility also avoids you losing life bars) and head towads the second door from the left(it has a few gaps so it can be difficult to jump to the door) and it will lead you to an elevator that takes you to the star.

===Star 5: A-Maze-Ing Emergency Exit===

===Star 6: Watch For Rolling Rocks===
A pretty simple mission although the star is hidden from normal view. Mario must take the left corridor and navigate his way passed the falling rocks. Before he reaches the door, he should wall jump between the two walls. The alcove on the right contains the 6th Powerstar of the level.

==''Super Mario 64 DS''==
===Star 7: Underground Switch Star===
In this level the player has to go to the area with the work elevators. The player need to be [[Wario]]. Go near the black brick and smash it. It reveals a star switch. Step on it and get to the star.

==Trivia==
*In ''Super Mario 64'', the pool shows a reflection of [[Princess Peach]] after Mario jumps in.

In both games, the entrance to the course is located in the basement of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] behind the unmarked [[★ door]]. Inside, there is a room with a small pool in the middle, which is the entrance to the course. The course has many paths and [[pit|bottomless pit]]s, as well as a large cavern that is home to a giant sea creature named [[Dorrie]]. Several maps are also placed on the walls to help the player figure out where they are and where to go.
-The [[minigame]] [[Dorrie Dip]] from ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', in addition to featuring Dorrie, takes place in an area that resembles this course.

-The area the player starts off in contains a [[Cap Block|green block]] and two paths. The one to the right is a hall with several [[flamethrower|fire geyser]]s that leads to the Hazy Maze and [[Red Coin]] area, with the left path having a hall with a large gap the player must [[Long Jump|long-jump]] across that leads to the area with the [[boulder|rolling rock]]s and the Underground Lake.
-Through the door at the end of the left path is a large pit that rolling rocks continuously fall into, as well as a [[Spinning Heart]] on the left side of it and a hall to the other end of the course on the right side. This area also contains a [[Scuttlebug|Scuttle Bug]] and a [[Swoop]]. Up the ramp the rocks are rolling down is a ledge that holds a [[Power Star]] in the N64 version or a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] in the DS version, as well as a door that leads to an elevator room. In the elevator room is a ring of [[coin]]s under a [[! Block|yellow block]] that holds a 1-UP Mushroom, as well as a Power Star behind a chain fence that can be accessed only through the Hazy Maze. Down the elevator is a large circular lake with Dorrie swimming in the [[water]]. There are two doors in this area, with the fenced-off one leading to a Power Star and the door on the ledge that the player has to use Dorrie to reach leading to the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap (N64)/Behind the Waterfall (DS)]]. This makes Hazy Maze Cave the only course in ''Super Mario 64'' to contain a secret course. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', this attribute is shared with [[Big Boo's Haunt]] and its secret course, [[Big Boo Battle]].

To the right of the room are an elevator that takes the player to the end of the course and a door that leads to the Hazy Maze. The Hazy Maze is a large maze covered in a [[smoke|strange toxic cloud]] that damages the player if they stand in it for too long. The maze can lead to two different Power Stars or back into the other room.
