'''Wet-Dry World''', also known as '''Wet-Dry Land''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #52, page 44.</ref> is the eleventh course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and it takes place within flooded ruins, separated into an undeveloped uptown that the player starts in and an underground downtown further into the [[level]]. The entrance to the course is the large [[painting]] with the [[Skeeter]] on it on the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s second floor. Unique to this course is the ability to raise or lower the [[water]] level based on where the painting is entered; the lower the painting is entered, the lower the water level, and the higher the painting is entered, the higher the water level. | '''Wet-Dry World''', also known as '''Wet-Dry Land''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #52, page 44.</ref> is the eleventh course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and it takes place within flooded ruins, separated into an undeveloped uptown that the player starts in and an underground downtown further into the [[level]].

This world was used in a [[List of references in advertisements#Got Milk?|Got Milk? commercial]] in the late 1990s. [[Mario]], who is unable to jump onto a platform in the first area, breaks through the screen, and through a series of events, he winds up in a refrigerator, drinks some milk, becomes supersized, and starts walking on the top of the level. However, the sky is bright blue instead of dark. | |||
