 In ''Super Mario 64'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its Nintendo DS remake]], Dorrie lives in an underground lake in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]]. He is the focus of the first mission of the course, [[Swimming Beast in the Cavern]]. He constantly swims in circles, but he gladly gives [[Mario]] a ride if he gets on his back. It is also possible to steer Dorrie from there; Mario loses control of movement for a moment, then the player can control Dorrie by facing the direction they want to go. [[Ground Pound|Ground-pound]]ing on his back causes him to lower his neck, allowing Mario to climb onto his head to reach higher areas, such as the entrance to the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]]. A sign near the lake in which he takes residence states that he might eat visitors if they get too close, although he is actually harmless. Dorrie is referred to as female in the ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' and [[Prima Games]] guides.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=59|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|quote=Ignore the signs that warn you about becoming the sea dragon's lunch.

-The remake provides Dorrie with an updated design, with the most noticeable change being a pair of goggles that are highly similar to the ones worn by the [[Dolphin]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. He reprises his role as in ''Super Mario 64'' by giving the player a ride wherever they want to go, although technically he is no longer needed for the first mission, because the island in the middle is now much lower and therefore easily accessible. Dorrie wears [[Wario Cap|Wario's cap]] only during the first mission of the Hazy Maze Cave, unless the player is playing as [[Wario]] himself. Also, while the player can still ground-pound on Dorrie's back, it is no longer required, as he now lowers his head if the player approaches the base of his neck.
