The '''squares'''<ref> | The '''squares'''<ref>"''You'll begin on the platform beside the moving squares.''" – Scott Pelland and Dan Owsen. ''The Super Mario 64 Player's Guide''. Redmond: [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]], 1996. Page 43.</ref> are three pairs of platforms in [[Bowser in the Dark World]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. One pair is found at the beginning of the level, while two more pairs are at a much higher elevation later in the level. Each of the pairs moves in a counterclockwise cycle around a larger square rim; one of the level's [[Red Coin]]s is located on the edge of the rim of the first pair at the higher elevation, requiring [[Mario]] to use the squares to reach it. The platforms themselves have a {{wp|steel blue}} color in ''Super Mario 64'', while they are gray in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. Despite their name, they are actually {{wp|octahedron}}s due to being composed of eight slanted triangles. | ||
