The Wet-Dry World level is unlike any other level in Super Mario 64. Everything from the image in the sky, to the soundtrack playing in the background leaves you with an eerie feeling.
I first heard people talking about this negative emotional aura on YouTube, and I realized that I felt the same why while playing this level. I immediately became interested in how and why this feeling came to be.
After doing some digging on YouTube and Reddit, I learned that I wasn’t the only one to have this weird, negative feeling while playing Wet-Dry World.
What is Wet-Dry World?
Once you enter this level, you’re stuck in this enclosed space surrounded by four large cement-looking walls with a distorted image of the city above you. It also includes a hidden city area underwater.
