Wet-Dry World

Wet-Dry World's unique stage gimmick is being able to raise and lower the water level by touching the [[Crystal Tap]]s located throughout the stage. When one is touched, the water level rises or drains to the level of the Crystal Tap's position, which affects the position of the floating platforms as well. Using these Crystal Taps is essential to reach certain areas and complete missions. Several Skeeters slide around on the water surface with [[flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|flame thrower]]s lining the platforms. If they are underwater, the flame throwers ~~will~~ not be able to spit fire. There are two areas to this course: the uptown, which is split into layering platforms, and the downtown area, which has several buildings and the course's [[Red Coin]]s.

Once within the cage, [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], Luigi, or [[Wario]] must quickly [[swim]] through a tunnel with partially closed gates before he loses all his [[Health Meter|health]] and drowns.

The downtown area consists of several buildings along the walls, a Crystal Tap in an alley, and a central plaza in the center. There is a small church<ref>Official UK Nintendo Magazine.

In the back left corner is a mesh cage where the player has to turn [[Vanish Mario|invisible]] in order to go inside for a [[Quick Race Through Downtown!|certain mission]].

The flame throwers on the ground never shoot fire during regular gameplay due to always being partially submerged in water. It is still possible to make them shoot fire by using [[glitch]]es to lower the water level. They were removed in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.

*The term "downtown" normally refers to the commercial center in a city, whereas "uptown" is where one would find residencies like houses and apartments. The "uptown" of Wet-Dry World appears to have much more commercial activity (especially construction), while the "downtown" area contains several homes and what appears to be a central park.
