'''Dire, Dire Docks''', also known as '''Waterworld''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #42, page 18.</ref> is the ninth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its DS remake]]. The entrance to the course is through the [[Big Star Door]] to the left of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s main basement room. 30 [[Power Star]]s are needed to unlock the door. The entrance to Dire, Dire Docks is a large water-like [[painting]], and walking or [[jump]]ing through it brings the player to the course. Before the player collects the course's first Power Star, the course's entrance painting covers the hole that leads to [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], but once the player collects the Power Star, the entrance to Dire, Dire Docks moves back to the end of the hall, opening Bowser in the Fire Sea. Additionally, [[Bowser]]'s Submarine<ref name=Sub>(June 10, 1998). [https://web.archive.org/web/19980610064831/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/9-1.html Course 9 - Star 1: Board Bowser's Sub Bowser in the Dark World]. ''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy'' (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine). Retrieved March 15, 2022.</ref> (or the Sub)<ref name=Sub/> in Dire, Dire Docks does not move until Bowser in the Fire Sea is completed.

This course shares the same music as [[Jolly Roger Bay]]. Like in that course, when [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] is [[swim]]ming underwater, synths are added to the music; when the player character is on land in the second area, a drum beat is added to the music.

A majority of the course is underwater, like [[Jolly Roger Bay]] greatly resembling the real-world geological phenomenon of a cenote. The player immediately starts falling into a body of [[water]], and in the DS version of the game, there are some [[block (Super Mario 64)|Black Brick]]s and [[Skeeter]]s on the surface. Below the surface are [[Cheep Cheep|Bub]]s, a [[Manta|Manta Ray]], a [[whirlpool]] that will make the player lose a life if they get trapped in it, and several [[treasure chest|Treasure Chest]]s along the bottom. A large tunnel connects the two areas of the course, and there is a place to come up for air halfway through the tunnel.

The next area of the course has several [[clam|clam shell]]s along the floor, a cage containing a Power Star to the left, and a grate spouting [[bubble ring]]s. If Bowser in the Fire Sea has yet to be completed, Bowser's Submarine will be on the water's surface. Otherwise, the Sub will be missing and a large exit into the [[Castle Grounds]] will be open to the south. If the player goes near the exit, it will suck them up, but there is also a line of [[coin]]s near it. Above the surface is a boardwalk with [[Cap Block|green and blue block]]s that contain the [[Metal Cap]] and [[Vanish Cap]], respectively, as well as a [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]] that creates [[block (Super Mario 64)|block]]s to the platforms above when stood on. Several [[pole]]s slide across the ceiling of this course, but they will not appear if the Sub is present.
