Jolly Roger Bay is the third course inSuper Mario 64 andSuper Mario 64 DS. The entrance to the course is through the★ door to the far right of the first floor of theMushroom Castle, and threePower Stars are needed to unlock the door. The course is a large lake with several rocks, platforms, and a ship. It gets its name from "Jolly Roger", a name given to typical pirate flags.

This course shares the same music asDire, Dire Docks. WhenMario,Yoshi,Luigi, orWario isswimming, synths are added to the music; when the player character is on land in this course's cavern area, a drum beat is added to the music.

Layout[edit]

Map of Jolly Roger Bay (left) and the inside of the sunken ship (right) inSuper Mario 64 DS

The player starts on the shore of a large lake that greatly resembles a real-world cenote. This starting area consists of ayellow block to the left and agreen block (or red in the DS version) to the right. In the DS remake, the shore also containsGoombas and ablock containing aShiny Shell. Over to the right is a platform with aBob-omb Buddy, who opens thecannon of thelevel when talked to. A large spire with aRed Coin at the top is located nearby, and going across the platform on thewater leads to a series of platforms and another green/red block. Pressing thePurple Switch makes additional platforms appear, making it easier to cross them all. At the end of these platforms is the raised ship, but only in missions two and onward. The ship provides a platform for the player to reach three of the Red Coins in the level, as well as the location of thePower Star that appears when all the Red Coins are collected. This is the only main course inSuper Mario 64 that does not have aStar Marker.

Jolly Roger Bay before and after Plunder in the Sunken Ship

In theNintendo 64 version, during the first mission, "Plunder in the Sunken Ship", a thin fog covers the area, and the sky is darker than in other missions. The player can enter the ship in the lake through a broken window after luringUnagi the eel out. The inside of the ship is full of water and contains severalTreasure Chests and platforms. Opening these chests in the correct order drains the ship and allows the player tojump up the platforms and collect the Power Star at the top. Strangely, the drained ship's interior remains upright when it should be horizontal, as the ship is presumably floating on the water. After the player collects the first Star, the fog and dark sky effects bizarrely do not return anywhere in the level, even if the player replays "Plunder in the Sunken Ship".

Above the water, near the start of the level, is a cannon that is needed to reach the Power Star during the mission "Blast to the Stone Pillar". Below the cannon underwater are a ring ofcoins and twoclam shells: The one on the right has a Shiny Shell, and the other has a Red Coin. Past the three stone pillars is a large trench where the ship lies during the first mission. During any other mission, a jet stream is in the ship's place and Unagi is moved to a crevice up above. The Ocean Cave is to the west, containing manytriangular columns that fall on the player if they get too close, Goombas, and a green/red block. At the back of the cave are several Treasure Chests that provide thethird Star when opened in the correct order and, in the DS version, a large fenced-off area containinganother Star.

Notes[edit]

The two different paintings of Jolly Roger Bay

• In the first release ofSuper Mario 64 in Japan, the entrance to Jolly Roger Bay is apainting of bubbles in a blue frame. In all subsequent releases, including the JapaneseSuper Mario 64: Shindō Pak Taiō Version rerelease andSuper Mario 3D All-Stars, this is changed to a painting of a sunken ship in a gold frame.Super Mario 64 DS instead uses a retouched version of the original painting in all versions.
• Exclusively in the Nintendo 64 version, a hidden ship duplicate that appears only during the mission Plunder in the Sunken Ship is floating above the stage, which cannot be seen through normal means.^[14]
• TheSuper Mario 64 Player's Guide gives the 100-Coin Star the namePirates' Plunder.^[15]
