Location: In level 6. Go to the underground lake, and ride the blue sea beast to the door across from where you came in. The metal cap course is in the pool inside.
The Cavern of the Metal Cap is in Hazy Maze Cave. Go to the Underground Lake, and ride the sea monster over to the platform in the corner with the double doors. When you get there, ground pound while on the sea monster to make it lower its head and hop up onto the platform so you can enter the double doors into the Metal Cavern. The Metal Cap course is in the pool inside.
It's a long level with a strong water current. Don't get sucked in to the waterfall; you'll end up outside Peach's castle.

The Cavern of the Metal Cap is in Hazy Maze Cave. Go to the Underground Lake, and ride the sea monster over to the platform in the corner with the double doors. When you get there, ground pound while on the sea monster to make it lower its head and hop up onto the platform so you can enter the double doors into the Metal Cavern. The Metal Cap course is in the pool inside. It's a long level with a strong water current. Don't get sucked in to the waterfall; you'll end up outside Peach's castle.

Finding the Switch

At the start of the level you'll be encased in metal, so the water current will have no effect on you. Throughout this level are Sniffits theat fire bullets at you when they see you. Stomp on them to get some coins. When you reach the flowing water in the cavern, make a left, not a right. There is a 1-Up Mushroom in the block by the waterfall, though. Hop from the small platforms in the current to the platform with the green Metal Cap Switch. Hop onto it and all of the green blocks will become solid. Now you can use the Metal Cap. Any time you use it, you become Metal Mario, invicible and unaffected by water in any way. You can even walk underwater without breathing!

Red coins

Super Mario 64 DS
It is recommended you try this as Wario, since there is a strong water current.

4 coins are found around the platform at the end. Two are found on the platform, and two are found close to the Bob-Omb buddy.

Super Mario 64 DS
A second star can be found above the ? block in the platform at the end. You will need Mario to hit the block, then float up.

The first two red coins are in an alcove with a 1-Up Mushroom right before the platfrom with the Metal Cap Switch. The next two are beside the Metal Cap Switch. To get the last four red coins, break open a green block and grab the Metal Cap from it. Now as Metal Mario, hop into the water nearby the Metal Cao Switch platform to find the last four coins. Then, the star will appear right by the platform as well. Grab it before the Metal Cap wears off and you'll have another sone of the castle's secret stars!

Please Note: If the water current pushes you out of the level, you will end up outside Peach's Castle where the waterfall is. If you get the star, you will end up outside the entrance to Hazy Maze Cave.
