Metal Mario, when he first comes in.

Cavern of the Metal Cap is a cave in Super Mario 64 that contains the Metal Cap's ! Switch. The cave is decorated with large glittering crystals and has a stream running through the middle. The water is moving very fast and can sweep Mario out the cave's one-way exit, the waterfall outside Peach's Castle. Upon entering the cave, Mario is automatically turned into Metal Mario and invulnerable to the stream's current. Quickly defeat the few Snufits guarding the Green ! Switch and press it. All the green ! Blocks in the game will activate, granting access to the Metal Cap.

Eight Red Coins are in the area, and several of them are just below a huge waterfall supplying the stream. The only way to reach them is with the Metal Cap.

In Super Mario 64 DS, the area was retitled Behind the Waterfall, and the Green ! Switch was removed. However, a second Power Star was added, which can only be reached by Mario via a Power Flower.

The entrance is located in Hazy Maze Cave, behind the double doors in the underground lake.
