Super Mario 64 Walkthrough
Course 6: Hazy Maze Cave

My walkthrough is designed to help you in your Bowser-battling and star-collecting journeys. Unlike some web pages, which only give info on getting stars, My walkthrough shows the exact directions to get the stars and secrets, plus info on the courses.

The goal of Mario 64 is to get back all 120 power stars in the castle that Bowser stole. I will give detailed directions for how to get each of them on every level. Good luck!

Level Description: Hazy Maze Cave

An atmospheric cave level, Hazy Maze Cave has some interesting things to offer. After getting the Basement Key from the defeating the first Bowser, open up the basement and follow the directions stated(more on that in the appropriate section of my guide). Go inside the door on the right, and go all the way to a blank star door. Inside is a metallic liquid leading to the sixth level. Hazy Maze Cave offers many special enimies dwelling only in the gloomy environment. Some of these include Bats, Spiders, and an elusive water beast. Many pits and gaps add to the level's challange, and a bonus stage of the Metal Cap capability can only be found here.

Level Statistics:
coins: 143
cannons: 0

warps: 0
hearts: 1

Star 1: Swimming Beast in the Cavern

As you look at the map at the beginning of the level, you'll see that you can go either left or right. Head left, and long jump over the gap(run+"Z"+"A"). Follow the red mesh platform in this room, and long jump over to the section of the falling rocks. Learn the pattern of the boulders' path while rolling down, because they take out 3 of your health pieces every time they hit you. Head up the path while evading the rocks, and open the rusty door to your right. Take the mesh elevator to an underground lake. Go down the path into the water. There, you'll see a harmless Water Beast. Jump onto its back and stomp on it. The Beast will lower its head, allowing you to step on it. While on the beast's head, control the direction of it's movement by gently tapping the direction you want it to go. Maneuver the Beast to the center island and claim your star!

Star 2: Elevate for 8 Red Coins

As you enter the level, take the right path, avoid the fire, and enter the door. Slide down the pole and climb the giant stairs on your right. Get on the elevator-looking mechanism. To control this thing, step on the corresponding arrows on the pad to move the elevator in the direction you want.

Red Coin #1: Get three of the red coins hidden inside the brown boxes that you can punch while on the mechanism.
Red Coin #2: Also in a punchable box.
Red Coin #3: In the farthest punchable box.
Red Coin #4: Another red coin is in the corner, while you are riding the elevator.
Red Coin #5: Now, control this elevator so that you can jump to the high platform that you normally can't reach. Climb up and onto the other elevator-looking mechanism (the yellow and green checkered block). Ride the elevator and get the other easy red coins.
Red Coin #6: See above.
Red Coin #7: See above.
Red Coin #8: Towards the end of the elevator course. See above.
The star will appear at the center of the room. #3 - METAL HEAD MARIO CAN MOVE Take the path in star #1 to get to the swimming beast. When the elevator brings you down, get the metal cap from the green box. Follow the path underwater and to the switch. Step on the switch to make the gates open. Enter the door, do some long jumps, and get the star. #4 - NAVIGATING THE TOXIC MAZE Take the right path to the work elevator place and go to the hazy maze cave (look at the maps). The hazy maze cave is covered with a green poisonous smoke that will slowly kill you if you stay in it for too long. Go forward and turn right at the metal cap block. Continue and turn left BEFORE you reach the blue coin switch. Go past the mole and do a double jump to reach the little passage in the left wall. Follow the path until you get to what seems o be a dead end. You can cling on to the red wire thing on the ceiling. Swing on the red wire fence thing to reach the star. #5 - "A-MAZE-ING" EMERGENCY EXIT Go to the Hazy Maze Cave (see instructions above). Take the same path you took with the star above, but walk right past the first little cave you see on the left wall. Soon you'll reach another little cave (also on the right wall). Double jump to get there and follow the path, up the elevator, and get the star. #6 - WATCH FOR FALLING ROCKS Take the path that leads to the first star (swimming beast). But before you reach the room with the elevator (and after you pass all those giant rolling boulders), stop in front of the door. Look up with the C-up button and you'll see a passage up there. Use wall kicks to get there with the star.
