Scowler, now renamed Octo, reappears in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]''. In Story mode, Wario faces Octo as his fifth opponent. The introduction of the Story mode for both Dr. Mario and Wario shows Octo being sick, where [[Dr. Mario]] uses his [[Capsule#Dr. Mario 64|Megavitamin]]s to cure him. Later on, in Wario's storyline, when [[Mad Scienstein]] runs away from both Dr. Mario and Wario at the beach, Mad Scienstein knocks a coconut down from a coconut tree, and then Dr. Mario kicked the coconut into the ocean. Wario, who is not far behind, notices Octo emerging from the ocean with a bump on his head, where he is dragged into the ocean for wrongly assuming that Wario is responsible for his injury, initiating a battle underwater. As an opponent in Vs. mode, Octo has the second-lowest AI level, tying with [[Silky]], [[Appleby]], and [[Jellybob (Wario Land 3)|Jellybob]]. | Scowler, now renamed Octo, reappears in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]''.

Unlike in his original appearance, Octo's body is colored orange rather than black in the American release of the game. In the later port of the game released in Japan as part of ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]'', he retains his original black color scheme. His appearance may have been changed in ''Dr. Mario 64'' due to a possible resemblance to blackface actors | Unlike in his original appearance, Octo's body is colored orange rather than black in the American release of the game.
