Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)

The Rec Room is a special area found inside the Mushroom Castle in Super Mario 64 DS. This room, located on the second floor to the right wing, features a drawer of colored boxes, every one containing a minigame that Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario reveal as they catch the rabbits running around the castle, holding the keys that open the drawer's boxes, after talking to Toad in that room. A Toad looks after the room and hosts the minigames whenever the player wants to play in the Rec Room. Each character has nine minigames. Two are for the characters themselves, and the other seven are unlocked by catching rabbits, making a total of 36. The room contains other things, like a piano, some Koopa shells, blocks, Bob-omb toys, and Stars around, and a mushroom-styled table near the entrance of the room. Most of these minigames are reused in New Super Mario Bros. There is also the painting of the course Sunshine Isles, and in the back of the Rec Room is the door to Princess Peach's room, which contains the entrance to the Goomboss Battle portrait, where one of Luigi's rabbits is located.

The music that plays on the Rec Room's minigame menu is an arrangement of Grass Land's map theme from Super Mario Bros. 3.
