'''Hazy Maze Cave''' is an underground cave level and course six in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In both games this course is located in the basement of [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. The course has many hidden ledges, nooks, crannies, and alcoves, countless bottomless pits, and even an underground lake with a large but friendly sea monster named [[Dorrie]]. A map can be found in many areas of the course.  
'''Hazy Maze Cave''', also known as the '''Hazy Maze Caves''',<ref>{{cite|author=Knight, Michael|title=''Nintendo DS'' Pocket Guide|page=362-363|isbn=978-0-307-46760-7|language=en-us|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=March 16, 2010}}</ref> is an underground cave [[level]] and the sixth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In both games, the entrance to the course is located in the basement of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] behind the unmarked [[★ door]]. Inside, there is a room with a small pool in the middle, which is the entrance to the course. The course has many paths and [[pit|bottomless pit]]s, as well as a large cavern that is home to a giant sea creature named [[Dorrie]]. Several maps are also placed on the walls to help the player figure out where they are and where to go.


The Hazy Maze, the level's namesake, is located deep within the cave. The Hazy Maze is a labyrinth whose passageways are clouded with a highly toxic yellow gas (purple in the remake). Mario's health is slowly depleted the longer he stays in the maze, and he will eventually suffocate if he is unable to get fresh air. To make matters worse, the Hazy Maze is full of [[Snufit]]s, [[Monty Mole]]s, [[Scuttle Bug]]s and [[Swooper]]s that can hinder Mario's progress. Fortunately for Mario, there are small areas of higher ground scattered throughout the maze, a [[Metal Box]] ([[Metal Mario (form)|Metal Mario]] is unaffected by the poisonous fumes), and several escape routes that are clearly marked on the map just outside the entrance. Obtaining certain Stars requires the use of certain escape routes.
The [[minigame]] [[Dorrie Dip]] from ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', in addition to featuring Dorrie, takes place in an area that resembles this course.

The area the player starts off in contains a [[Cap Block|green block]] and two paths. The one to the right is a hall with several [[flamethrower|fire geyser]]s that leads to the Hazy Maze and [[Red Coin]] area, with the left path having a hall with a large gap the player must [[Long Jump|long-jump]] across that leads to the area with the [[boulder|rolling rock]]s and the Underground Lake.


Some people mistakenly believe that the entire course is the Hazy Maze; however, the ''Hazy Maze'' title only applies to the aforementioned maze.
Through the door at the end of the left path is a large pit that rolling rocks continuously fall into, as well as a [[Spinning Heart]] on the left side of it and a hall to the other end of the course on the right side. This area also contains a [[Scuttlebug|Scuttle Bug]] and a [[Swoop]]. Up the ramp the rocks are rolling down is a ledge that holds a [[Power Star]] in the N64 version or a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] in the DS version, as well as a door that leads to an elevator room. In the elevator room is a ring of [[coin]]s under a [[! Block|yellow block]] that holds a 1-UP Mushroom, as well as a Power Star behind a chain fence that can be accessed only through the Hazy Maze. Down the elevator is a large circular lake with Dorrie swimming in the [[water]]. There are two doors in this area, with the fenced-off one leading to a Power Star and the door on the ledge that the player has to use Dorrie to reach leading to the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap (N64)/Behind the Waterfall (DS)]]. This makes Hazy Maze Cave the only course in ''Super Mario 64'' to contain a secret course. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', this attribute is shared with [[Big Boo's Haunt]] and its secret course, [[Big Boo Battle]].


There is a special hidden area in this course called the [[Cavern of the Metal Cap]] that can be accessed through a door near the underground lake. The [[Metal Cap]]'s [[! Switch]] is located here, along with eight more Red Coins that can be collected to receive one of the castle's Secret Stars. In the remake version, the Metal Cavern doesn't have the metal cap switch and instead has several [[Power Flower]]s that can be used for [[Wario]] & [[Mario]] to be used with an extra star at the top of the course only accessed by Mario's balloon ability.
The door at the end of the right path from the start of the level leads to an open area containing the level's Red Coins and the [[lift]]s needed to reach them, as well as several Scuttle Bugs and [[Mr. I|Mr. I.]]'s. To the right of the room are an elevator that takes the player to the end of the course and a door that leads to the Hazy Maze. The Hazy Maze is a large maze covered in a [[smoke|strange toxic cloud]] that damages the player if they stand in it for too long. The maze can lead to two different Power Stars or back into the other room.
{{br|left}}


This is one of the few levels not accessed via a painting; instead, Mario must enter the door to the right of the entrance to [[Lethal Lava Land]] and jump into a pool of liquid metal inside.
==Missions==
In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', [[Wario Cap]]s are available in all missions even if Wario has not been rescued. In the first mission, the cap is found on Dorrie's head, and in all the others, it is on a Goomba near the start.

===Star 1: Swimming Beast In The Cavern===
==Statistics from ''Super Mario 64''==
[[Image:M64DSDorrie.PNG|thumb|left|180px|[[Luigi]] meets the "Swimming Beast" Dorrie.]]
*'''Total Number of [[Coin]]s''': 139 (134 according to ''[[Nintendo Power]]'')
As the name implies, Mario has to go to deep into the cave to the area where [[Dorrie]] lives. At the beginning of the mission, the plumber has to go immediately to the left and perform a [[Jump|long-jump]] to pass over a gap. Going up the way where the rolling rocks are coming at the black hole zone, Mario will find a door where an elevator leads directly to the subterranean lake found in the bottom of the cave. Upon sighting a plesiosaur, Mario can get on Dorrie's back to lead him to the small isle in the center of the lake. Making a [[Ground Pound]] on Dorrie's back will cause the plesiosaur to lower his head, allowing the hero to stand over his head and arrive on the isle to obtain the Power Star.
*'''[[Cap]]s Found''': [[Metal Cap]] (5)
*'''[[Spinning Heart]]''': Near the "Black Hole" on a ledge.
*'''[[Cannon]]s''': (none)
*'''[[1-Up Mushroom|1UP Mushroom]]s''' (4):
**''Box Mushroom'' : '''#1''' Above the bottomless hole on a platform. '''#2''' Next to the elevator to the Underground Lake.
**''Moles Mushrooms'' : '''#3 & #4''' By continually [[jump]]ing on two sets of [[Monty Mole]]s in the toxic maze, the player can get the two mushrooms.
*'''[[Warp]]s''': (none)


In the DS version of the game, Dorrie will be wearing a [[Wario's Cap]]. Taking the yellow cap, the character will become [[Wario]], who is needed to punch and break a boulder on the lake's isle and reveal the Power Star.

[[Image:HazyMazeElevator.JPG|thumb|right|Mario riding the elevator.]]
{{foreign names
By going down the right corridor upon first entering the level, Mario can access the other side of the course. After leaping over fire pits and avoiding pesky [[Scuttle Bug]]s, Mario finds a door at the end of the corridor. Entering it and sliding down a long pole, Mario arrives in the underground "plaza" area of the course. In one corner of this area is a staircase formation that leads to an unusual floating platform. This platform has four arrow switches on it, and will move in the direction of the arrow switch that is pressed. Mario must collect the eight [[Red Coin|Red Coins]] by navigating a midair obstacle course. Once all eight Coins have been collected, a Star appears over the [[Star Marker]] on the floor.  In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', playing as Wario in this place, the player can get the switch star, used from the poles, to reach 3 red coins.

After activating the [[Metal Cap]] switch, Mario must go again to the subterranean lake, evading the rolling boulders in the hall and reaching the elevator. The plumber can see a metal cap [[Block]] in the entrance of the lake. Hitting the block will release the cap that turns Mario into metal. With the added weight being metal, Mario sinks to the lake's floor, following the path from the entrance. A large [[! Switch]] appears which the plumber must press when he is metal. Stepping on the switch will open up the crate doors, allowing access to the door behind them. The Power Star will be found at the end of a chamber that Mario reaches using the long-jump to pass the [[Bottomless Pit|bottomless pits]] on the floor.

In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the mission's title was slightly changed to '''Metal Head Wario Can Move!''' because Wario is the only character that becomes metal upon getting a [[Power Flower]].

===Star 4: Navigating The Toxic Maze===
[[Image:Mariointhecave.jpg|thumb|Mario in the toxic maze.]]
In the fourth mission, the player must go the toxic maze area. Going to the right corridor of the entrance the character will enter to the plaza area. To the left side of the area, there will be a door and behind it a hole. Falling through the hole, the player arrives in the toxic maze. The ominous [[Toxic Gas]] over the floor will cause the characters to lose health as they breathe. Turning into [[Metal Mario (form)|Metal Mario]] ([[Metal Wario]] or [[Luigi]]'s invisibility for the DS version) prevents the player from losing health while navigating through the gases. Small holes in some stretches of the labyrinth can be an obstacle to jump and reach the right door to go out from the maze. Once passed the maze, an elevator will lead to the Star hidden inside an [[! Block]].
In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the player can skip the toxic maze and go behind the fence as Luigi by grabbing a power flower at the beginning of the level or in the underground cavern used in Star 1 quickly getting to the fence, and sneaking behind.

For this star, the player will have to return to the toxic maze, and head towards the first door from the left, which will lead to an elevator. The elevator will go to a door that opens into the area above the rolling rocks. The player should grab the metal bars above the ground, and head towards the star. They could also, if they wish, long jump to the platform where the star is.
In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', as Luigi the player can triple jump to the platform from a black block (that only Wario can break) and hold onto the platform and grab the star.

===Star 6: Watch For Rolling Rocks===
[[Image:Falling rocks!.jpg|thumb|The rocks rolling up to Mario.]]
To find this star, the player must take the left corridor and navigate his/her way past the falling rocks. Before they reach the door, the player should wall jump between the two walls, and jump into one of the alcoves. The alcove on the right contains the sixth Power Star of the level.
In the DS version, the Star is obtained differently, and Wario will be needed to retrieve it. Wario must break the nearby black [[Brick Block]] containing a [[Super Mushroom]] to grow big. He must then punch the falling rocks until he shatters the one containing the Power Star in order to make it appear. The alcove that contained the Power Star in the original version now has a [[1-up Mushroom]].

In this level exclusive for ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' the player has to go to the plaza area of the floating platforms. The player needs to be [[Wario]], and go near the black [[Brick Block]] and smash it, revealing a [[Star Switch]] hidden. The player will then have to step on it and get the Star inside the [[Star Sphere]] located near the floating platform.

Hazy Maze Cave, also known as the Hazy Maze Caves,[1] is an underground cave level and the sixth course in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. In both games, the entrance to the course is located in the basement of the Mushroom Castle behind the unmarked ★ door. Inside, there is a room with a small pool in the middle, which is the entrance to the course. The course has many paths and bottomless pits, as well as a large cavern that is home to a giant sea creature named Dorrie. Several maps are also placed on the walls to help the player figure out where they are and where to go.

The minigame Dorrie Dip from Mario Party 3, in addition to featuring Dorrie, takes place in an area that resembles this course.

Layout[edit]

Map of the main cave (left) and the Underground Lake (right) in Super Mario 64 DS. The map on the wall in Super Mario 64 is on the far right.

The area the player starts off in contains a green block and two paths. The one to the right is a hall with several fire geysers that leads to the Hazy Maze and Red Coin area, with the left path having a hall with a large gap the player must long-jump across that leads to the area with the rolling rocks and the Underground Lake.

Through the door at the end of the left path is a large pit that rolling rocks continuously fall into, as well as a Spinning Heart on the left side of it and a hall to the other end of the course on the right side. This area also contains a Scuttle Bug and a Swoop. Up the ramp the rocks are rolling down is a ledge that holds a Power Star in the N64 version or a 1-UP Mushroom in the DS version, as well as a door that leads to an elevator room. In the elevator room is a ring of coins under a yellow block that holds a 1-UP Mushroom, as well as a Power Star behind a chain fence that can be accessed only through the Hazy Maze. Down the elevator is a large circular lake with Dorrie swimming in the water. There are two doors in this area, with the fenced-off one leading to a Power Star and the door on the ledge that the player has to use Dorrie to reach leading to the Cavern of the Metal Cap (N64)/Behind the Waterfall (DS). This makes Hazy Maze Cave the only course in Super Mario 64 to contain a secret course. In Super Mario 64 DS, this attribute is shared with Big Boo's Haunt and its secret course, Big Boo Battle.

The door at the end of the right path from the start of the level leads to an open area containing the level's Red Coins and the lifts needed to reach them, as well as several Scuttle Bugs and Mr. I.'s. To the right of the room are an elevator that takes the player to the end of the course and a door that leads to the Hazy Maze. The Hazy Maze is a large maze covered in a strange toxic cloud that damages the player if they stand in it for too long. The maze can lead to two different Power Stars or back into the other room.

Missions[edit]

In Super Mario 64 DS, Wario Caps are available in all missions even if Wario has not been rescued. In the first mission, the cap is found on Dorrie's head, and in all the others, it is on a Goomba near the start.
