'This page is part of my Bad Article Archive. If you wish to see other archived pages, go here.' Shady Dark Cavern is a level that can be found in some copies of Super Mario 64. It is reported to be similar to Hazy Maze Cave, but with alternate placing of objects and enemies.

Reports

A Nintendo employee has reported this level, while testing the game in a beta build of Mario 64.

“It was just Hazy Maze Cave, but I got 2 stars and I started to hear voices saying “Mario!”

“I was freaked out, so I got one more star. I got a cutscene.. Luigi was there? He was normal! I was even more freaked out, since we didn’t add him, but he turned into a giant tall creature that once was Luigi, and chased me. I was very freaked out, so I tried to get the next star, and everything was back to normal. I don’t know what happened, but if you hear voices calling “Mario!” in Hazy Maze Cave, quit the game.”

Appearance

For the first 2 stars, it seems like an alternate version of Hazy Maze Cave, including weird object placements, and enemies at the wrong place, but at the third star, it gets dark, and creepy, and the area turns red, and a Luigi monster spawns. At the 4th star, the area turns blue, and the Luigi monster goes away.
