The first known Dorrie from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' lives in an underground lake in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]]. He spends his days swimming in circles, but will gladly give Mario a ride if he gets on his back. It is also possible to steer Dorrie by carefully climbing up onto his head; Mario will lose control of movement for a moment, then the player can control Dorrie by facing the direction they want to go in. [[Ground Pound]]ing on his back or approaching his neck will cause him to lower his neck, making this task easier. A sign near the lake in which he takes residence states that he might eat visitors if they get too close, but he is actually a harmless creature.

Dorrie also appears in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. He now wears goggles, and resembles the [[Dolphin]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. He fulfills the same role as in ''Super Mario 64'', giving the player a ride wherever he wants to go. When [[Wario]] is unlocked, Dorrie sometimes has [[Wario's Cap]] on his head (unless the player is playing as Wario). The same sign warning the player to not become Dorrie's lunch reappears, but once again, Dorrie himself does not eat any visitors.
Dorrie reappears in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' with an updated design, with the most noticeable change being a pair of goggles that are highly similar to the ones worn by the [[Dolphin]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

Dorrie returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', using his ''Super Mario 64 DS'' appearance, and appears in two sizes.

If Mario does a [[Ground Pound]] on Dorrie, he will move faster through the water.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario 64

Dorrie from Super Mario 64
Mario riding Dorrie in Super Mario 64.

Dorrie makes his debut in Super Mario 64, where he lives in an underground lake in the Hazy Maze Cave. He spends his days swimming in circles, but will gladly give Mario a ride if he gets on his back. It is also possible to steer Dorrie by carefully climbing up onto his head; Mario will lose control of movement for a moment, then the player can control Dorrie by facing the direction they want to go in. Ground Pounding on his back or approaching his neck will cause him to lower his neck, making this task easier. A sign near the lake in which he takes residence states that he might eat visitors if they get too close, although he is actually harmless.

Super Mario 64 DS

Dorrie reappears in Super Mario 64 DS with an updated design, with the most noticeable change being a pair of goggles that are highly similar to the ones worn by the Dolphins in Super Mario World. He reprises his role as in Super Mario 64 by giving the player a ride wherever they want to go. When Wario is unlocked, Dorrie sometimes has Wario's Cap on his head, unless the player is playing as Wario.
