In ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', bubble rings are seen only in the ninth course: [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. When [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] swims through a bubble ring, it replenishes two wedges of his [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]] and a number appears above him. Much like a [[secret]], this number represents the number of consecutive bubble rings the player character has passed through. When the player character [[swim]]s through five consecutive bubble rings, he is granted a [[Power Star]].


Bubble Rings were required for Stars 4 and 5 in Dire, Dire Docks. In Star 4, "[[Through the Jet Stream (Dire, Dire Docks)|Through the Jet Stream]]", Mario must swim to the other side of the tunnel to find a jet stream spraying out Bubble Rings. After Mario collects five of these Bubble Rings, a Power Star appears above the jet stream that [[Metal Mario (form)|Metal Mario]] can collect. In Star 5, "[[The Manta Ray's Reward]]", Mario will find a [[Manta Ray]] swimming around underwater and leaving a trail of Bubble Rings. Mario must follow this trail to collect five Bubble Rings and make the Power Star appear.
Bubble rings are required for the fourth and fifth Stars (fourth and seventh in the DS version) in Dire, Dire Docks. In the fourth mission, [[Through the Jet Stream (Dire, Dire Docks)|Through the Jet Stream]], the player character must swim to the other side of the tunnel to find a jet stream spraying out bubble rings. After the player character collects five of these bubble rings in a row, a Power Star appears above the jet stream, and [[Metal Mario]] or Metal Wario can collect it. In the fifth (or seventh in ''Super Mario 64 DS'') mission, [[The Manta Ray's Reward]], the player character finds a [[Manta|Manta Ray]] swimming around underwater and leaving a trail of bubble rings. The player character must follow this trail to collect five consecutive bubble rings and make the Power Star appear.

A bubble ring,[1] also known as a Water Ring[2] or simply a ring,[1][3] is an underwater object first appearing in Super Mario 64.

History[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Dire, Dire Docks Star 5
Mario swimming through the Manta Ray's bubble rings in Super Mario 64

In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, bubble rings are seen only in the ninth course: Dire, Dire Docks. When Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario swims through a bubble ring, it replenishes two wedges of his Power Meter and a number appears above him. Much like a secret, this number represents the number of consecutive bubble rings the player character has passed through. When the player character swims through five consecutive bubble rings, he is granted a Power Star.

Bubble rings are required for the fourth and fifth Stars (fourth and seventh in the DS version) in Dire, Dire Docks. In the fourth mission, Through the Jet Stream, the player character must swim to the other side of the tunnel to find a jet stream spraying out bubble rings. After the player character collects five of these bubble rings in a row, a Power Star appears above the jet stream, and Metal Mario or Metal Wario can collect it. In the fifth (or seventh in Super Mario 64 DS) mission, The Manta Ray's Reward, the player character finds a Manta Ray swimming around underwater and leaving a trail of bubble rings. The player character must follow this trail to collect five consecutive bubble rings and make the Power Star appear.

Mario Party 4[edit]
