Mario's Dream

Mario's Dream is a secret level in some personalized copies of Super Mario 64. It can be entered when Mario goes to sleep for a variable amount of time. The level itself is a large, cloudy area with very few objects. It is usually traversed with the Wing Cap if it is unlocked, but many reports state that the level can be traversed without it.

There are usually very few enemies in the level, though Fly Guys and Goombas have been documented. Usually a star can be found upon traversing Mario's Dream enough, though some report the level is simply a free-roam area for the player to explore. The level can usually be left by letting Mario fall asleep again, and he will either wake up where he first was or in Princess Peach's Castle.

Mario's Nightmare
Mario's Nightmare is a rumored and unconfirmed counterpart of Mario's Dream, that can supposedly by accessed through 1, 2 or 3 ways:


 * Dying in Mario's Dream.
 * Trying to enter Mario's Dream with only 1 health.
 * Falling asleep in a Bowser level or any level considered "scary".

Mario's Nightmare would be a much more difficult level to traverse than Mario's Dream, with much harder platforming and more difficult enemies. The level would be in a night-time sky with storm clouds instead of regular clouds. The level itself would reportedly be exited by defeating a boss the player had died to at some point, finding a star, or finding a regular cloud which would transport the player back to Mario's Dream. Upon dying in this level, the player would supposedly get a game over no matter how many lives they had beforehand.
