'''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 and [[The Princess's Secret Slide]] are the only two hidden courses other than the [[Bowser]] courses with the same name in both versions. While not physically changed in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', this course plays the full percussion variation of the [[Dire, Dire Docks]] theme, which does not appear in the original version.
'''The Secret Aquarium''' is one of 3 [[Super Mario 64#Secret Courses|secret courses]] to appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', where [[Mario]] collects eight [[Red Coin]]s to retrieve a [[Power Star]] floating amidst a large flooded room. It is a cube-shaped room which the four big, glass windows encompassing all sides of the house are each stained a different color. It is accessed via one of two hidden alcoves in the wall adjacent to the [[Jolly Roger Bay]] painting. 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 collect all scattered Red Coins before Mario's health runs out, for which a Power Star is awarded. Despite its underwater environment, The Secret Aquarium is actually suspended midair in the sky, high above the clouds, bearing a resemblance to the Big House in the Sky from the [[Rainbow Ride]] course.

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.


No significant visual changes were made to this course when it later returned for the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.  Though, the music in the remake uses the full percussion version of the ''Dire Dire Docks'' theme.  In the original, it featured the original, without the extra layers.
This is the one red coin star that doesn't have a Bob-omb Buddy who tells you where the red coins are.
