-''Super Mario 64'' takes place within the walls of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle ]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. It is the first ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' game to explicitly include the Mushroom Kingdom as a location since ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The game's [[level]]s, called "courses," are not naturally occurring places but were created by [[Bowser]] using the [[Power Star]]s he stole from [[Princess Peach]]. Most of them are accessed through [[painting]]s that hang in the castle's walls, but some are more cryptically hidden or require the player to accomplish a task in the castle before becoming accessible. Some [[:File:SM64 globe artwork.png|paratextual material]] and [[Throwback Galaxy|subsequent titles]] present the courses introduced in this game as visitable places outside the paintings.

 Generally, a course is a sprawling location with interactive environmental elements and several levels of elevation. Courses often have subareas and collectibles obscured in the landscape that passively encourage the player to rotate the camera and explore. Most courses feature prominent landmarks, such as the mountain on the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] and the volcano in [[Lethal Lava Land]], that provide the player with a consistent point of reference that mitigates their chance of getting lost.<ref name=montreal>[[Yoshiaki Koizumi]].

The theme informs the types of objects that can be interacted with in the level, the types of enemies that can be encountered, and the non-playable characters that can be spoken to. For example, [[Pokey|cactus enemies]], a [[Klepto|condor]], and [[quicksand]] are in the desert-themed [[Shifting Sand Land]]. [[Penguin]]s, slippery ice, and deep snow appear on [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Snowman's Land]]. Most courses contain switches and strikable objects that modify elements of the course, such as the [[Crystal Tap]]s in [[Wet-Dry World]].

+====Overview====
-Most of the courses are accessed through [[painting]]s inside the Mushroom Castle, the {{wp|Overworld|hub world}} of the game. The surface of a painting ripples like water when near, and [[Mario]] is brought to the course it represents by {{wp|Chronotope|physically jumping through it}}. Accessing levels in this manner is a departure from the overworld system in previous platform games (see [[Super Mario 64#Mushroom Castle|below]]). However, the castle is divided into several sections that are analogous to the [[world]] structure of proceeding games, where multiple levels are available to the player on a single section and the player must complete a [[List of bosses|boss]]-dedicated course in order to gain access to the next one. As Mario advances through the castle, he encounters some courses that are accessed through portals other than paintings, such as Shifting Sand Land, which is accessed through what looks like a brick wall at a dead end in the basement, and [[Tick Tock Clock]], which is entered through a clock face. The locations of courses on subsequent floors are generally more complex and are puzzles in themselves, such as the painting for [[Snowman's Land]] that is viewable only through a mirror.<ref name=HubDoc>Design Doc.

-Rather than present a unilateral scenario that leads to a single spatially fixed [[goal]], most courses in the game host multiple objectives called "[[mission]]s" that each have a goal in a different location from each other. For most courses, entering a painting (or equivalency) brings the player to a [[:File:Bob-omb Battlefield mission select.png|mission-selection screen]], where selecting one sends Mario to the course within the confines of the mission's specific scenario and its unique goal. In nearly all courses, this goal is a Power Star, a collectible token resembling the [[Super Star]] of prior entries. Touching one completes the level and returns Mario to the castle. The number of Power Stars collected is tracked by the game and communicated to the player on the {{wp|user interface}} in the upper right corner of the screen. Accumulating Power Stars is how new courses become accessible to the player. On the first floor, some [[★ door]]s that seal away certain paintings open only after Mario has collected a specified number of Stars. Mario can access a new floor only after clearing the current one's Bowser course, itself becoming accessible only after a specified number of Power Stars has been obtained. However, there are 120 obtainable Power Stars in a game that requires only 70 to access the final level. The player has some discretion on how many or which ones are obtained to finish the game, as well as the order.

 In most courses, one mission correlates with one Power Star, and its name on the mission-selection screen hints at the Star's location in the course. However, some Power Stars can be encountered outside their dedicated missions and collected. Some mission-dedicated Power Stars become available to the player only once they have cleared specific missions (e.g., [[Footrace with Koopa the Quick]] becomes available only after [[Big Bob-omb on the Summit]] has been completed) or accomplish tasks outside the paintings (e.g., striking the [[Cap Switch]] in the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]] makes the titular [[List of power-ups|power-up]] accessible in [[Through the Jet Stream (Dire, Dire Docks)|Through the Jet Stream]], in which it is not optional). Certain actions completed within a course permanently change elements within it regardless of the mission subsequently played. Recurring examples are the [[cannon]]s found in most courses, which Mario can enter and launch from to reach distant areas. A cannon becomes useable in a course after Mario has spoken to a [[Bob-omb Buddy]], a friendly non-playable character that controls the cannon, and it remains accessible for all subsequent revisits.

The cursor itself may represent the player character, as is done in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', but the degree of control the player has on the cursor is more limited than they would have in the actual levels.

 Using a well-timed [[Triple Jump]] on the slope near the castle, Mario can climb the castle without the [[cannon]]. Also, when he reaches a corner, he can fall down slightly and grab on to a ledge. Mario can then pull himself back up onto the roof, at which point he loses a life. For unknown reasons, he also loses his cap. This occurs because when Mario grabs the ledge, he is out of bounds, but the game waits until he pulls himself back up before causing him to lose a life. Something similar can happen if a door leads out of bounds or into a wall, but that can happen only through modding or glitches.
-===Angled Dive===
+===Angled dive===
 When Mario enters the water, the angle he was facing before entering is preserved in a datum; therefore, when he jumps and lands on dry land, the next dive he performs starts with this angle. A few frames afterward, the angle fixes itself and the dive is completed correctly. Several things "reset" the angle, including grabbing a ledge, shooting from a cannon, changing areas, and jumping while facing a slope. This glitch does not affect the dive itself, just the animation.
