Description[]
The player spawns in a long tunnel which leads to the town itself. The town consists of several buildings, the most significant ones being a tower and a big house with a fireplace. Water level crystals are located on top of the tower and in a dry fountain on the ground level. There are several Bob-omb Buddies inhabiting the area, as well as other enemies such as Goombas, Spinies, Fly Guys, and Wigglers.
Origins[]
The area's layout is inspired by one of Emmy's videos with change of size and some layout differences. Textures are mainly from the vanilla Super Mario 64 and its beta versions.
The music is Kaizo's "Sad Dry World," which itself is a remix of the "Cave Dungeon" theme from the vanilla game's soundtrack.
Stars[]
This area has 2 stars to collect:
- Jumping in front of 5 specific doors, which act like 5 secrets, rewards the player with a star.
- These doors are all within a few of rows of housing near the fountain, not any of the separated buildings further out.
- As the trigger points can be tricky, it's recommended to get right against each door before jumping.
- There's a star on the top of the tower, reachable via a warp pipe on the top of the big house which also causes the town to flood.
- (A2) The player can earn a star by collecting 8 red coins around the town.

THE MYSTERY IS OF WET OR DRY.

THE CITY WELCOMES VISITORS WITH THE DEPTH THEY BRING AS THEY ENTER.

THE VILLAGERS DO NOT LIKE BEING BOTHERED. PLEASE, STAY QUIET NEAR THE DOORS.
Bob-omb in the big house[]
LEAVE ME ALONE... I DON'T WANT TROUBLE. I'M JUST RELAXING BY THE FIRE BEFORE YOU FLOOD THIS WORLD YOU MONSTER. IT IS THE CYCLE OF LIFE.
Fly Guy on top of the tower[]

Trivia[]
- Some of the houses float slightly above the ground.
- In v0.4 and earlier versions, the player can spawn into the area with the water level turned way up. This directly contradicts the name of the area.
- This area contains one of several stars that can be earned by disobeying an NPC's request: although a Bob-omb Buddy asks that the player avoid bothering the town's inhabitants by staying quiet near their doors, jumping in front of the doors reveals five secrets that spawn a star.
- If the player uses cheats or the wing cap to reach the top of the tower without taking the warp pipe, the star can be collected without flooding the area. Using the pipe to warp from the top of the tower to the top of the house will trigger the flood.
- After the player has collected the grand red star, a Bob-omb NPC appears near the spawn point with the message, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
