The merry-go-round is an object in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. It is a quickly spinning floor found in a room in the basement of Big Boo's Haunt, accessed through doors on either side of the room. The merry-go-round is the focus of the second mission, "Ride Big Boo's Merry-Go-Round", in which the player needs to defeat several Boos emerging from one of the Boo portraits near the merry-go-round, all the while avoiding a flamethrower from another Boo portrait. After the Boos are defeated, a Big Boo appears; once the player attacks him three times, the merry-go-round stops spinning and the Big Boo leaves behind the Power Star in defeat.
The merry-go-round has its own musical theme, which plays inside its room and in the room's vicinity. In the DS version only, this theme also plays inside the first room of Big Boo Battle, which contains a similar rotating platform.
