The '''Hazy Maze Cave''', also known as the '''Hazy Maze Caves''',<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Nintendo DS'' Pocket Guide. Page 362, 363.</ref> is an underground cave [[level]] and the sixth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In both games, the entrance to the course is located in the basement of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] behind the unmarked [[★ door]]. Inside, there is a room with a small pool in the middle, which is the entrance to the course. The course has many paths and [[pit|bottomless pit]]s, as well as a large cavern that is home to a giant sea creature named [[Dorrie]]. Several maps are also placed on the walls to help the player figure out where they are and where to go.

The [[minigame]] [[Dorrie Dip]] from ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', in addition to featuring Dorrie, takes place in an area that resembles this course.

The area the player starts off in contains a [[Cap Block|green block]] and two paths. The one to the right is a hall with several [[flamethrower|fire geyser]]s that leads to the Hazy Maze and [[Red Coin]] area, with the left path having a hall with a large gap the player must [[Long Jump|long-jump]] across that leads to the area with the [[boulder|rolling rock]]s and the Underground Lake.

Through the door at the end of the left path is a large pit that rolling rocks continuously fall into, as well as a [[Spinning Heart]] on the left side of it and a hall to the other end of the course on the right side. This area also contains a [[Scuttlebug|Scuttle Bug]] and a [[Swoop]]. Up the ramp the rocks are rolling down is a ledge that holds a [[Power Star]] in the N64 version or a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] in the DS version, as well as a door that leads to an elevator room. In the elevator room is a ring of [[coin]]s under a [[! Block|yellow block]] that holds a 1-UP Mushroom, as well as a Power Star behind a chain fence that can be accessed only through the Hazy Maze. Down the elevator is a large circular lake with Dorrie swimming in the [[water]]. There are two doors in this area, with the fenced-off one leading to a Power Star and the door on the ledge that the player has to use Dorrie to reach leading to the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap (N64)/Behind the Waterfall (DS)]]. This makes the Hazy Maze Cave the only course in ''Super Mario 64'' to contain a secret course. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', this attribute is shared with [[Big Boo's Haunt]] and its secret course, [[Big Boo Battle]].

The door at the end of the right path from the start of the level leads to an open area containing the level's Red Coins and the [[lift]]s needed to reach them, as well as several Scuttle Bugs and [[Mr. I|Mr. I.]]'s. To the right of the room are an elevator that takes the player to the end of the course and a door that leads to the Hazy Maze. The Hazy Maze is a large maze covered in a [[smoke|strange toxic cloud]] that damages the player if they stand in it for too long. The maze can lead to two different Power Stars or back into the other room.

==Missions==
In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', [[Wario Cap]]s are available in all missions even if Wario has not been rescued. In the first mission, the cap is found on Dorrie's head, and in all the others, it is on a Goomba near the start.

|{{nowrap|''[[Super Mario 64]]''<br>''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''}}
|This mission's objective is to collect the [[Power Star]] in the cavern by using [[Dorrie]] to reach it. In ''Super Mario 64'', Dorrie is required to reach the Star, as the land that the Star is on is elevated off the ground. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the ground was lowered to the point that Dorrie is not required, but only [[Wario]] can get the Star because it is trapped inside a [[boulder|rock]].
