The '''Secret Aquarium''' is one of 30 [[Super Mario 64#Secret Courses|secret courses]] to appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', where [[Mario]] collects eight [[Red Coin|Red Coins]] to retrieve a [[Power Star]] floating amidst a large flooded room. It is accessed via one of two hidden alcoves adjacent to the [[Jolly Roger Bay]] painting, in the wall.

'''The Secret Aquarium''' is one of the secret courses in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The entrance to the course is to the right of the [[painting]] into [[Jolly Roger Bay]], through a small hole up above on the wall.

The Secret Aquarium is a large fish tank filled with [[water]], so there is no place where the player character can surface for air. There are 40 Yellow Coins in rings with [[Red Coin]]s in the center of the rings and on the room's floor, and collecting them prevents the character from losing all of his health. There is only one [[Power Star]] to collect, and it appears once the player has collected all eight of the Red Coins.


Though laden with [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64/Super Mario 64 DS|oxygen]]-replenishing [[Yellow Coin|Yellow Coins]], there is no surface to the aquarium. The [[player]] must, upon entering the level, navigate its depths and rally all either scattered Red Coins before Mario's health runs out, to which an only Power Star is rewarded.

==Trivia==
*Despite its aquatic interior, outside the Secret Aquarium is actually suspended midair in the sky, high above the clouds, bearing something of a resemblance to the [[Rainbow Ride]] course.
*It is worth noting the four big windows encompassing all sides of the house are each stained a different color glass.
