Revision as of 19:11, 12 July 2009

Location: Basement, in the door with the big star on it.

Description: Water level with Bowser's sub, a bunch of sharks, and a whirlpool.

Dire, Dire Docks is the ninth stage in Super Mario 64 DS. 30 stars are required to access it. It is found in the room with the Bowser in the Lava Sea stage, but the portal is blocking the Bowser stage. This area is known as Dire, Dire Docks. After you clear the first level of it, the portal will move to the back of the room.

==Star 1: Board Bowser's Submarine Go through the cave and get in to the second cavern.Go up, get some air, down and forward When you do, find the switch on the floor, which will create block that will let you get onto the submarine. The star is on there, out in the open.If the submarine is not there, use the ? box opposite and float to the star.ONLY Mario can do this. Yoshi can't flutter far enough to reach the star. Nor the others. Ellie O'Brien age 9 did this with Mario herself. That's why she typed it down for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Star 2: Chests In The Current

Super Mario 64 DS
There are three treasure chests. First get the one next to the seashell, then the one near the seaweed. The third one is close to the whirlpool, so don't get sucke in, or a nasty fate is in store.

There are four chests at the base of the whirlpool. Open them in this order: The one by the clamshell, the second on Is near all the seaweed (on the ocean floor), then the last chest by the whirlpool.

The star will then appear by the wall, but don't swim directly to it - the shark will likely hit you in the back if you try doing this. To counteract this, swim against the shark to get there, avoiding it each time it comes by.

Star 3: Pole Jumping For Red Coins

Get all 8 red coins. They are all in the second cavern. You have to hit the same switch as star 1, but climb the other steps. Then jump between poles for the red coin. Note: You have to defeat Boswer in the Fire Sea for the poles to appear.

Star 4: Through The Jet Stream

Super Mario 64 DS
To get this star, go to the second section of the course, then grab the Wario cap if you are not Wario. Surface, then hit the ? Block. Sink underwater to the area making rings. Stand there until 5 go around you to earn the star.

There is a stream much like the one in the third level in the second cavern of this level, except there are rings coming from it. Go through five rings in a row, and the star will appear in the stream. Use the metal cap to get it, just as before.

Star 5: The Manta Ray's Reward

Super Mario 64 DS
You will need to be Wario in order to get this star. Destroy the black bricks to find a star switch. Since it is impossible to swim to the other side in time, hit the yellow block to find a Koopa shell. It reappears, so don't worry if you fail. Make sure, however, that you eliminate the water striders to make this easier.

In the first cavern, there is a Manta Ray swimming around. There are rings coming out behind it. Swim through five consecutive rings to get the star. It will appear just above the whirlpool. Go from above, and be careful.

Star 6: Collect The Caps...

Super Mario 64 DS
You need to be Luigi in order to get this star. Go to the other side of the stage, then hit the red ? block. Swim into the underwater cage to get the star.

Go to the second cavern to where the green cap is. Get both the green and blue caps and go down through the underwater cage where the star is. You can also get the star by just getting the blue cap and swimming down to the cage.

Star 7: The Manta Ray's Reward (DS version)

From where you start, swim down and you will see a manta ray. Its tail makes circles. Swim through 5 consecutive rings to make the star appear. The rings seem to provide air, so don't panic.

Star 7: 100 Coins

Super Mario 64 DS
If you are still needing coins, get the Wario cap and break the black bricks.

You have to search very carefully for the coins. There are no coins from enemies. There are only 106 coins in this level, so search carefully! It is very difficult to find them.

Make sure you collect at least 30 coins in the area where you start. Then, collect all eight red coins. There is a blue coin switch where you pole-vault, so hit it for seven blue coins to appear. (You will need to jump to reach them.)
