Hazy Maze Cave
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.
As its name implies, the Hazy Maze Cave is a maze which features a couple of areas that can be accessed by finding one's way through alcoves and passageways inside the cave. The maze map can be found in every area of the maze. Some of the areas include a toxic maze with three exits, a few elevators, an underwater lake (where Dorrie can be found) and a secret path where Mario has to cope with streams of water in order to gain two more Power Stars. There are a number of bottomless pits in some areas of this cave.
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.
Super Mario 64
Star 1: Swimming Beast in the Cavern
At the beginning of the level, take the left path by long-jumping the gap. Then, make your way around the black hole and climb the slope with the rolling rocks. Through that door, an elevator will take you down to the cavern. Make your way down the slope to the lake and swim towards the Dorrie. Jump on his back and ground pound to make him lower his head. When you walk on top of his head, he will move in the direction you face, so face the island and get the star.
Trivia
- In Super Mario 64, the pool shows a reflection of Princess Peach after Mario jumps in.
