Jolly Roger Bay



Jolly Roger Bay (French: Baie des Pirates, German: Piratenbucht Panik) is the third course in Super Mario 64 filled with water and surrounded by cliffs. Jolly Roger Bay also appears in the sequel, Super Mario 64 DS. Above the water are two Metal Cap blocks, 104 Coins, a cannon, and a ! Switch to make a bridge to the ship (once it rises out of the water). Under the water is the ship in the first level, Unagi when that level is completed, a third Metal Cap, and the tunnel to the pirates cave.

In the Japanese version and Super Mario 64 DS, the entrance painting only shows water and bubbles instead of a sunken ship.

The entrance is on the main floor, up the stairs to the right, and behind the star door labeled "3", meaning that it would require 3 Power Stars to enter.

Plunder the Sunken Ship
Mario will need to dive down to the bottom of the bay and enter the ships hatch. Blocking the hatch is Unagi, which will leave if Mario swims to the surface for air or touches the eel. Once it is dislodged Mario can swim inside. At the back of the ship is four chests which will need to be opened in the right order. If done correctly the ship will rise and drain out the water. In the front of the ship the star is inside a yellow ! box, climb a steep and slippery slope to reach it.

In DS version have only one chest

Star 2, Can the Eel come out to play?
Required: Star #1 Unagi is now inside a small cave and will bite at Mario if he comes to close. When it lunges out, Unagi will swim away, and show a star at the end of it's exposed tail. Carefully grab the star, if Mario touches the eel he will be shocked.

Star 3, Treasure in the ocean cave
In the Pirate's Grotto is four Treasure Chests as The Cap'n mentions about these boxes, open them in the right order to earn a star, just like in the ship. The order is top, left, bottom, right. The cave has large pillars that will fall in Mario's direction, the third Metal Cap, and has only one entrance/exit.

Star 4, Red Coins on the ship afloat
Required: Star #1 Three Red Coins are above the ship, four are inside clams, and one is above a pillar.

Star 5, Blast to the stone pillar
On the left side of the bay is a ledge with star inside a yellow ! box. Next to it is a stone pillar Mario can climb. Talk to the Bob-omb Buddy and use the cannon to hit the pillar and reach the ledge.

Star 6, Through the jet stream
Required: the Metal Cap Mario will need to become Metal Mario to get the star inside at the bottom of the bay. Using the first Metal Block and the cannon wastes time, instead use the Metal Cap near the ship and Long Jump in the middle of the bay.

Switch Star of the Bay
There is a Star Switch in the Pirate's Grotto. Luigi must step on it, making a power star appear behind the cage on the other side. He will need the grab a power flower in the process, which will turn him invisible. He needs to go to the cage and grab the star.
