'''Jolly Roger Bay''' is the third course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The entrance to the course is through the [[★ door]] to the far right of the first floor of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], and three [[Power Star]]s are needed to unlock the door. The course is a large lake with several rocks, platforms, and a ship. It gets its name from "{{wp|Jolly Roger}}," a name given to typical pirate flags.
'''Jolly Roger Bay''' is the third course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It is a stage filled with water and surrounded by cliffs. Above the water are two [[Metal Cap]] blocks, a [[cannon]] and a [[! Switch]] to make a bridge to the ship (once it rises out of the water). Under the water is the ship in the first level, [[Unagi]] when that [[level]] is completed, a third Metal Cap, and the tunnel to the pirates cave. The entrance to Jolly Roger Bay is on the main floor of [[Princess Peach's Castle|Peach's castle]], up the stairs to the right, and behind the star door labeled "3", meaning that three Power Stars are required to enter. Along with [[Dire, Dire Docks]], one of this stage's most unique features is that layers of the music get added as Mario dives in the water and another is added as Mario enters the cave. Jolly Roger is also the name given to the typical pirate flags. It is also the name of the infamous pirate ship of [[wikipedia:Captain Hook|Captain Hook]], the pirate from ''Peter Pan''.
{{br|left}}


==Levels==
This course shares the same music as [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. When [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] is [[swim]]ming, synths are added to the music; when the player character is on land in this course's cavern area, a drum beat is added to the music.
[[File:SM64DS-Jolly Roger Bay Map2.PNG|frame|left|Map of the Sunken Ship in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.]]
The level titles and numbers correspond to ''Super Mario 64'' unless otherwise noted.
===Star 1: Plunder in the Sunken Ship===
[[File:Plunder in the Sunken Ship.PNG|left|thumb|Mario inside the ship.]]
[[Mario]] will need to dive down to the bottom of the bay and enter the ship's hatch. Blocking the hatch is [[Unagi the Eel|Unagi]], which will leave if Mario swims to the surface for air or touches the eel. Once it is dislodged [[Mario]] can swim inside. At the back of the ship is four chests which will need to be opened in the right order. If done correctly the ship will rise and drain out the water. The star is at the ship's bow in a yellow ! block, and [[Mario]] has to reach it by jumping over slippery platforms. The ship is underwater. After Mario flushes the water inside the ship, the ship won't be submerged anymore. When Mario enters Jolly Roger Bay for the first time, the sky is dark and a layer of fog blankets everything. After obtaining the first star, the sky lights up and the fog vanishes. Unlike almost everything else in the game, even if the player replays the first star, these two effects won't return.


This level is basically the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake, however there is only one chest in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.

The player starts on the shore of a large lake that greatly resembles a real-world cenote. This starting area consists of a [[! Block|yellow block]] to the left and a [[Cap Block|green block]] (or red in the DS version) to the right. In the DS remake, the shore also contains [[Goomba]]s and a [[block (Super Mario 64)|block]] containing a [[Green Shell|Shiny Shell]]. Over to the right is a platform with a [[Bob-omb Buddy]], who opens the [[cannon]] of the [[level]] when talked to. A large spire with a [[Red Coin]] at the top is located nearby, and going across the platform on the [[water]] leads to a series of platforms and another green/red block. Pressing the [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]] makes additional platforms appear, making it easier to cross them all. At the end of these platforms is the raised ship, but only in missions two and onward. The ship provides a platform for the player to reach three of the Red Coins in the level, as well as the location of the [[Power Star]] that appears when all the Red Coins are collected. This is the only main course in ''Super Mario 64'' that does not have a [[Star Marker]].
===Star 2: Can the Eel Come Out to Play?===
[[File:Playingeel.png|thumb|Mario meets the eel.]]
This level is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake. In order to get this star, [[Mario]] has to get Star 1 first. If he has, Unagi is now inside a small cave and will bite at Mario if he comes too close. When it lunges out, Unagi will swim away, and show a star at the end of its exposed tail. Mario has to carefully grab the star, if he touches the eel he will be shocked.

===Star 3: Treasure in the Ocean Cave===
[[File:JollyRogerBayPirateGrotto.png|left|thumb|Mario in the ocean cave.]]
This level is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake, ''Super Mario 64 DS''. The third Power Star is inside the pirate's grotto which can only be reached by diving through the water. The grotto itself features large pillars that can fall into Mario's direction, as well as a Metal Cap. In order to get the star of it, Mario has to open the four treasure chests in it in the correct order, as previously with the chests in the sunken ship. In the Nintendo 64 version, there is a [[Blue Coin Block]] in the cave which is essential to collecting the 100-coin star. If [[Mario]] misses even one [[Blue Coin]], he cannot obtain 100 coins. For the treasure chest, start from top, then left, then right, then down.

===Star 4: Red Coins on the Ship Afloat===
[[File:Red Coins on the Ship Afloat.png|thumb|Mario on the ship with three [[Red Coin]]s.]]
This star can only be obtained after rising the ship by getting the first star. Four of the [[Red Coin]]s are inside clams under water. Three others are on the risen ship, which Mario can reach with special platforms which temporarily appear through a ! switch on the ground. The final red coin is on top of a stone spire which Mario can climb from a platform nearby. The Power Star itself appears on the ship when Mario has collected all Red Coins.
 
In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', this level is the same, however it has been swapped with "Blast to the Stone Pillar", so that it is Star 5, not Star 4.

===Star 5: Blast to the Stone Pillar===
[[File:JollyRogerBay.png|thumb|left|The platform with the star next to the stone pillars.]]
The fifth Power Star is on a ledge on the other side of the bay from Mario's starting position. Next to it is a stone pillar Mario can climb. In order to get to it, he first has to find the [[Bob-omb Buddy]] on a different platform and use the cannon to hit the pillar and reach the ledge. The star is inside the yellow ! box on the ledge. In the Japanese version, the star is out in the open. It is thought that this change is so that the star wouldn't be so obvious to find.
 
In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', this level is the same except for the fact that the star isn't in the yellow ! box, mimicking the original, Japanese N64 version. Also, Stars 4 and 5 are swapped in the remake, so this level is actually entitled "Star 4: Blast to the Stone Pillar ", and comes before "Star 5: Red Coins on the Ship Afloat".

===Star 6 (7 in DS): Through the Jet Stream===
[[File:Jet Stream.png|thumb|right|Metal Mario near the jet stream.]]
In ''Super Mario 64'', Mario needs to become [[Metal Mario]] to get the star inside at the bottom of the bay. Using the first Metal Block and the cannon wastes time, so instead, Mario should use the Metal Cap near the ship and [[Long Jump (move)|Long Jump]] in the middle of the bay. Another method is to use the cap in the cave.
 
In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the star is only obtainable if the player uses [[Wario]], because Wario is the only character that can use the metal ability. Also, this star is the seventh star and "Switch Star of the Bay" is the sixth star instead in DS.

In the [[Nintendo 64]] version, during the first mission, [[Plunder in the Sunken Ship]], a thin fog covers the area, and the sky is darker than in other missions. The player can enter the ship in the lake through a broken window after luring [[Maw-Ray|Unagi the eel]] out. The inside of the ship is full of water and contains several [[treasure chest|Treasure Chest]]s and platforms. Opening these chests in the correct order drains the ship and allows the player to [[jump]] up the platforms and collect the Power Star at the top. Strangely, the drained ship's interior remains upright when it should be horizontal, as the ship is presumably floating on the water. After the player collects the first Star, the fog and dark sky effects bizarrely do not return anywhere in the level, even if the player replays Plunder in the Sunken Ship.


===Star 6 (DS): Switch Star of the Bay ===
Above the water, near the start of the level, is a cannon that is needed to reach the Power Star during the mission [[Blast to the Stone Pillar]]. Below the cannon underwater are a ring of [[coin]]s and two [[clam|clam shell]]s: The one on the right has a Shiny Shell, and the other has a Red Coin. Past the three stone pillars is a large trench where the ship lies during the first mission. During any other mission, a jet stream is in the ship's place and Unagi is moved to a crevice up above. The Ocean Cave is to the west, containing many [[Falling Pillar|triangular columns]] that fall on the player if they get too close, Goombas, and a green/red block. At the back of the cave are several Treasure Chests that provide the [[Treasure in the Ocean Cave|third Star]] when opened in the correct order and, in the DS version, a large fenced-off area containing [[Switch Star of the Bay|another Star]].
[[File:Switch Star of the Bay.PNG|thumb|left|Invisible Luigi in the cave.]]
{{br|left}}
''Super Mario 64 DS'' added an extra mission to Jolly Roger Bay. In it, Luigi must step on the Star Switch in the Pirate's Grotto, making a Power Star appear behind the cage on the other side. He will then need to grab a Power Flower in the process, which will turn him invisible, so that he can go to the cage and grab the star.

Jolly Roger Bay is the third course in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. The entrance to the course is through the ★ door to the far right of the first floor of the Mushroom Castle, and three Power Stars are needed to unlock the door. The course is a large lake with several rocks, platforms, and a ship. It gets its name from "Jolly Roger," a name given to typical pirate flags.

This course shares the same music as Dire, Dire Docks. When Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario is swimming, synths are added to the music; when the player character is on land in this course's cavern area, a drum beat is added to the music.

Layout[edit]

The player starts on the shore of a large lake that greatly resembles a real-world cenote. This starting area consists of a yellow block to the left and a green block (or red in the DS version) to the right. In the DS remake, the shore also contains Goombas and a block containing a Shiny Shell. Over to the right is a platform with a Bob-omb Buddy, who opens the cannon of the level when talked to. A large spire with a Red Coin at the top is located nearby, and going across the platform on the water leads to a series of platforms and another green/red block. Pressing the Purple Switch makes additional platforms appear, making it easier to cross them all. At the end of these platforms is the raised ship, but only in missions two and onward. The ship provides a platform for the player to reach three of the Red Coins in the level, as well as the location of the Power Star that appears when all the Red Coins are collected. This is the only main course in Super Mario 64 that does not have a Star Marker.

In the Nintendo 64 version, during the first mission, Plunder in the Sunken Ship, a thin fog covers the area, and the sky is darker than in other missions. The player can enter the ship in the lake through a broken window after luring Unagi the eel out. The inside of the ship is full of water and contains several Treasure Chests and platforms. Opening these chests in the correct order drains the ship and allows the player to jump up the platforms and collect the Power Star at the top. Strangely, the drained ship's interior remains upright when it should be horizontal, as the ship is presumably floating on the water. After the player collects the first Star, the fog and dark sky effects bizarrely do not return anywhere in the level, even if the player replays Plunder in the Sunken Ship.

Above the water, near the start of the level, is a cannon that is needed to reach the Power Star during the mission Blast to the Stone Pillar. Below the cannon underwater are a ring of coins and two clam shells: The one on the right has a Shiny Shell, and the other has a Red Coin. Past the three stone pillars is a large trench where the ship lies during the first mission. During any other mission, a jet stream is in the ship's place and Unagi is moved to a crevice up above. The Ocean Cave is to the west, containing many triangular columns that fall on the player if they get too close, Goombas, and a green/red block. At the back of the cave are several Treasure Chests that provide the third Star when opened in the correct order and, in the DS version, a large fenced-off area containing another Star.

The two different paintings of Jolly Roger Bay
  • In the first release of Super Mario 64 in Japan, the entrance to Jolly Roger Bay is a painting of bubbles in a blue frame. In all subsequent releases, including the Japanese Super Mario 64: Shindō Pak Taiō Version rerelease and Super Mario 3D All-Stars, this is changed to a painting of a sunken ship in a gold frame. Super Mario 64 DS instead uses a retouched version of the original painting in all versions.
  • Exclusively in the Nintendo 64 version, a hidden ship duplicate that appears only during the mission Plunder in the Sunken Ship is floating above the stage, which cannot be seen through normal means.[2]
  • The name of the 100-Coin Star is Pirates' Plunder.[3]
