Swimming Beast in the Cavern is the first mission of the Hazy Maze Cave in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. The mission involves using Dorrie to collect the Power Star in the Underground Lake.

Layout[edit]

Taking the left path from the start of the level, the player has to pass the rolling rocks, go down the elevator behind the door, and then go down the ramp into the water. The player finds Dorrie swimming around in the cavern.

In Super Mario 64, the island in the center of the lake is raised, so the player has to use Dorrie to reach the top and collect the Power Star. Ground-pounding Dorrie's back lowers his head and allows Mario to stand on it, making Dorrie raise him up high. By having Mario turn in the direction the player wants to go, Dorrie moves in the direction Mario is facing.

In Super Mario 64 DS, the island is easily accessible, but a large rock blocks the Power Star. If the player is not already playing as Wario, they need to collect his cap that Dorrie is wearing. Ground-pounding Dorrie's back allows the player to reach Wario's cap. On the small island, Wario needs to simply punch the rock for the Power Star to appear.
