I'm not sure about the Secret Aquarium in Super Mario 64. Tower of the Wing Cap, definitely; you can't access the Wing Cap anywhere else until you activate the switch. Secret Slide, probably; it's certainly possible to access the other slidey levels without finding it, but it's fairly obvious as hidden levels go. (It's somewhat more hidden in the DS version, since the room that leads to it serves another function.) But the Secret Aquarium is activated from an alcove behind you when you enter the room with the Jolly Roger Bay painting. You're much more likely to enter the painting than the alcove when you first enter the room ... and then you've got to swim.
Hide / Show RepliesThe tower part definitely doesn't fit, because it's less of a warning about the flight sections and more like the obtainment of the permission to fly. So feel free to delete it. The other two do fit because, though they're secret areas, their early accesibility allows new players to practice with them.
