In [[Super Mario 64 DS]], the room is a lot bigger than the original. There are four doors with different colored carpets on them, three contain the missing characters, and one contains a Power Star. In any area outside of Korea, there is another room beyond this one. This is the Rec Room. Here was where Peach played games as a child. The Toad, however, lost most of the keys to the games (the mini-games that you can play). To get the keys, you will need to catch rabbits. There are seven for each character (Yoshi, Mario, Luigi and Wario). You will notice that in the Rec Room there is another painting. This one takes you to [[Super Mario 64 DS/Sunshine Isles|Sunshine Isles]], another secret stage, exclusive to [[Super Mario 64 DS]]. | In [[Super Mario 64 DS]], the room is a lot bigger than the original.

After accumulating three stars, you will be able to go to a few more stages. If you go to the door on the far right, you will find a room with a painting leading to [[Super Mario 64/Jolly Roger Bay|Jolly Roger Bay]]. There are also two small apetures on the sides of the room.

After getting 8 stars in [[Super Mario 64]] (12 are required in [[Super Mario 64 DS]]), the door with the big star can be opened. In the DS version, you can only enter the room if you have Mario.

Whether you defeat Bowser in the dark World or not, after you get 10-12 stars, two places are unlocked. The courtyard now has a Big Boo in it. If you defeat it, it will drop a carousel-like object.

In the first room of the castle a bright light will be shining onto the sun carpet. Stand in it and look into the "sun" in first person view to reach the stage called [[Super Mario 64/Tower of the Wing Cap|Tower of the Wing Cap]], where you will be automatically given a Wing Cap. This is where you will find the Wing Cap Switch, which will activate all of the Wing Cap Blocks. In Super Mario 64 DS, the name was changed to ''? Switch'', and the red ! Switch was being replaced by a ? Switch, and will activate all of the ? Switches in the game. Also, you will need to be Mario to do anything there. If you are Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario, you will just fall and collect three yellow coins. | In the first room of the castle a bright light will be shining onto the sun carpet.

There are three stages you can go to now. If you enter the big maze-like room, there will be a door with a star on it. The portal in the room ahead leads to [[Super Mario 64/Hazy Maze Cave|Hazy Maze Cave]]. The big painting in the center of the maze-like room has two stages itself. The painting leads to [[Super Mario 64/Lethal Lava Land|Lethal Lava Land]]. If you go left from the painting, you will reach a dead-end, but the wall leads to another stage, [[Super Mario 64/Shifting Sand Land|Shifting Sand Land]].

Before you do so, however, go to the wooden door in the maze-like room. Here you will find an underwater section. Swim to the other side, then ground-pound the two pillars to drain the water. This will allow you to access the basement from outside (where you start). You will see a hole in the ground. This leads to [[../Vanish Cap Under the Moat/]], where you will be automatically given a Vanish Cap. This is where you will find the Vanish Cap Switch, which will activate all of the Vanish Cap Blocks. The Vanish Cap you will be given at the start isn't of much use on the slide. In Super Mario 64 DS, the name was changed to ''The Secret Under the Moat'', and the blue ! Switch was removed. Also, a black brick covered the hole, requiring Wario to enter the course. In Super Mario 64 DS, a rabbit will appear in the moat. | Before you do so, however, go to the wooden door in the maze-like room. Here you will find an underwater section.

After you open up the big door, you will find that the Bowser stage is blocked by a portal. This leads to [[Super Mario 64/Dire, Dire Docks|Dire, Dire Docks]].

Not exactly much will happen on this floor, but it opens up several more stages. If you go into the mirror room, you will find two stages.
