'''Bowser in the Dark World''' is the first Bowser level of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It can be accessed from the big star door of the first floor, which requires 8 stars to open.

Excluding the [[Moat Door Skip]] glitch (MDS), collecting the key from this level is mandatory to beat the game, as otherwise the basement courses of the game cannot be unlocked.
