The Secret Aquarium
Mario in the Secret Aquarium.

The Secret Aquarium is one of 30 secret courses to appear in Super Mario 64, where Mario collects eight Red Coins to retrieve a Power Star floating amidst a large flooded room. It is accessed via one of two hidden alcoves adjacent to the Jolly Roger Bay painting, in the wall.

Though laden with oxygen-replenishing Yellow Coins, there is no surface to the aquarium. The player must, upon entering the level, navigate its depths and rally all either scattered Red Coins before Mario's health runs out, to which an only Power Star is rewarded.

There were no significant changes made to this course when it later returned for the Mario 64 Nintendo DS remake, Super Mario 64 DS.

Trivia

  • Despite its aquatic interior, outside the Secret Aquarium is actually suspended midair in the sky, high above the clouds, bearing something of a resemblance to the Rainbow Ride course.
  • It is worth noting the four big windows encompassing all sides of the house are each stained a different color glass.
