Swimming Beast in the Cavern is the first mission of Hazy Maze Cave in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS.

Layout[]

The mission retains the usual layout of Hazy Maze Cave.

Objective[]

Mario has to use Dorrie to collect the Power Star in the Underground Lake. To get there, Mario has to take the left path at the start of the course, pass the rolling rocks, go down the elevator behind the door, and lastly down the ramp into the water. The Power Star is on a raised island in the center of the water, but reaching it requires the use of Dorrie. To reach it, Mario has to Ground Pound Dorrie's back, lowering his head for Mario to stand on. After Dorrie lifts his head back up, Mario can steer Dorrie to go near the island, then jump from Dorrie's head to go onto the island and collect the Power Star there.

In Super Mario 64 DS, the island is lowered, although the Power Star is now contained inside of a large rock. Wario is now required for the mission because he is the only character who can destroy rocks, from punching them.
