'''Wet-Dry World''' is the eleventh course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The entrance to the course is the large painting with the [[Skeeter]] on it on the [[Princess Peach's Castle|castle's]] second floor. Unique to this course is the ability to raise or lower the water level based on where the painting is entered; the lower the painting is entered, the lower the water level and the higher the painting is entered, the higher the water level.

Wet-Dry World's unique stage gimmick is being able to raise and lower the water level by touching the [[Crystal Tap]]s located throughout the stage. When one is touched, the water level will rise or drain to the level of the Crystal Tap's position, which affects the position of the floating platforms as well. Using these Crystal Taps is essential to reach certain areas and complete missions. Several Skeeters slide around on the water surface with [[Kuromame]]s/[[Flame Chomp]]s lining the platforms. If they are underwater, the Kuromames and Flame Chomps will not be able to spit fire. There are two areas to this course: the uptown, which is split into layering platforms, and the downtown area, which has several buildings and the course's [[Red Coin]]s.

===Uptown Area===

The player starts off in the central area of the course, on one of the floating platforms. Directly ahead in the direction the player starts off facing is a large fence the blocks the way to the downtown area, with a Crystal Tap beside it and an elevator shaft nearby. Behind the player's starting position is a wooden bridge with a [[Purple Switch]] that leads to a platform with a Crystal Tap when pressed. Below the bridge is another Crystal Tap and several [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Blocks]] the player can break. North of the bridge behind the large, stone structure are a set of tall steps that leads to a Crystal Tap with an [[Amp]] circling it. On the ground and in the corner of the steps is a warp that will take the player to course's [[cannon]]. Behind the large structure in the back is a pushable block can that can be used to reach a high [[! Block]].

On the second layer of the area is a [[Blue Switch (Super Mario 64)|Blue Switch]] and a [[Heave-Ho]] that the player can use to reach the upper layer. If the floating platforms are low enough, the player can reach some additional platforms that lead to the Power Star of the [[Shocking Arrow Lifts!|first mission]].  

Third third layer consists of a platform with a ring of [[Coin]]s around it, an Amp, and a Heave-Ho on the left side, and on the right side, there is a tall elevator shaft with a Purple Switch next to it that will cause platforms to appear, leading to the top of the shaft. Against the wall is a pushable block the player can use to reach a ! Block and the next layer of platforms.

From the gap in the platforms of the fourth layer, there is a Crystal Tap to the right and a [[Chuckya]] to the left. In the DS version, there is also a [[Goomba]] wearing [[Wario]]'s [[cap]], a [[? Block]], and the [[Bob-omb Buddy]] was moved to this location. Past the Chuckya is a long board with two Amps circling it (one in the DS version). The board leads to a circular platform with both a tube-shaped platform with [[1-Up Mushroom]]s inside and a spinning platform next to it, though the platform spins much slower in the DS version. Past the spinning platform is the Power Star for the [[Top o' the Town|second mission]]. On the other side of the map is a lone platform with a Bob-omb Buddy in the original version or a [[Star Sphere]] during the [[Soaked Silver Stars]] mission in the DS version.

===Downtown Area===

To get to the abandoned downtown, there are three ways. [[Mario]] can launch into a very tall mesh cage with the level's cannon or jump into it when the water level is at maximum high tide (entering the level from the highest point of the painting). As [[Luigi]] in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] can be used to go through the cage at any water level.

Once within the cage, Mario must quickly swim through a tunnel with partially closed gates before he loses all his [[Health]] and drowns.  

The downtown area consists of several buildings along the walls, a Crystal Tap in an ally, and a central plaza in the center. There is a small, shrine-like building that contains the [[Star Marker]] for the course and a pole on top that the player can use to reach a Crystal Tap. In the back-left corner is a mesh cage the player has to turn [[Vanish Mario|invisible]] in order to go inside for a certain [[Quick Race Through Downtown!|mission]].

*[[Amp]]s

*[[Chuckya]]

*[[Fire Chomp]]s ([[Nintendo DS|DS]])

*[[Heave-Ho]]s

*[[Kuromame]] ([[Nintendo 64|N64]])

*[[Skeeters]]

*'''Total Number of [[coin]]s''': 152 (107 in main course, 45 in downtown)

*'''[[1-Up Mushroom]]s''' (4):

**''Static Mushroom'' : '''#1,2''' Inside the floating stone cylinder.

**''Triggered Mushroom'' : '''#3''' Appears after Mario runs around the spiked platform in the middle of the downtown.

**''Box Mushroom'' : '''#4''' In the downtown between two trees.

*'''Warps''' :

**In the outside area, there is a small, white structure on the ground with large steps and a Crystal Tap at the top. It has an inset corner on the ground with a warp that leads to the cannon. The water level needs to be as low as possible for this warp to be active.

This level uses the same music as ''[[Hazy Maze Cave]]''. Like ''Hazy Maze Cave'', the music changes depending the area Mario is in (either outside or downtown).

*This world was used in a [[List of Mario references in advertisements#Got Milk?|''Got Milk?'' commercial]] in the late 1990s. Mario, who is unable to jump onto a platform in the first area, breaks through the screen, through a series of events winds up in a refrigerator, drinks some milk, becomes super-sized, and starts walking on the top of the level. However, the level shown in the commercial differs from the one in-game in that the sky is bright blue instead of dark.

*One type of texture from this area (used for the unopenable doors in downtown) was reused in ''[[ZeldaWiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''.

*The background of this course is a photograph of the town of [[Wikipedia:Casares, Málaga|Casares]] in Spain.
