The Secret Aquarium is one of 3 secret courses to appear in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS (although, there are more secret courses in the DS version). Where the player collects eight Red Coins to retrieve a Power Star floating amidst a large flooded room. Though laden with oxygen-replenishing Yellow Coins, there is no surface to the aquarium.
