'''Star Doors''' have appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' inside [[Princess Peach's Castle|Peach's Castle]]. Like most locked doors in these games, a certain number of [[Power Stars]] must be obtained before they can be opened (although Star Doors require many more Power Stars than regular doors). Once unlocked, the doors will slide open allowing [[Mario]] to enter.

Retrieved February 23, 2018.</ref> or '''Star Doors''', are a special sliding type of [[★ door]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Like other ★ doors, they restrict progress to certain parts of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] until the player has the necessary number of [[Power Star]]s. Unlike normal ★ doors, however, Big Star Doors cover passages that are always required to open to complete the game. In the remake, only [[Mario]] can unlock a Big Star Door, but once it is unlocked, any character can enter it.

Four Big Star Doors exist in the games:
Four star doors exist in the games:
# The first floor door leads to [[Bowser in the Dark World]]. Eight Power Stars (12 in the DS version) are required to open it.
# The second door is in the basement and requires 30 Power Stars to be opened. [[Dire, Dire Docks]] and [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]] are behind it.
# The third door is on the floor above the second floor lobby at the top of the stairs. 50 Power Stars are needed, and behind it are [[Tick Tock Clock]], [[Rainbow Ride]], and [[Over the Rainbows|Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]].
# The last door leads to the [[Bowser in the Sky|final battle with Bowser]]. It does not require any Power Stars to open, but it has an [[endless stairs|endless staircase]] behind it unless Mario has at least 70 Power Stars (80 in the DS version). In the remake, if anyone other than Mario attempts to open the final door, that character will still encounter the endless stairs, regardless of the number of Power Stars.


In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', there is a painting of a Big Star Door.
# The first floor door leads to [[Bowser in the Dark World]]. Eight (12 in [[Super Mario 64 DS|remake]]) Power Stars are required to open it.
 
# The second door is in the basement and requires 30 Power Stars to open and holds ([[Dire, Dire Docks]] and [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]] are behind it.)

# The third door is on the floor above the lobby at the top of the stairs. 50 Power Stars are needed and behind it are [[Tick Tock Clock]], [[Rainbow Ride]], and [[Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]].

# The last door leads to the [[Bowser in the Sky|final battle with Bowser.]] It doesn't require any Stars to open, but has a staircase that never ends unless Mario has at least 70 Power Stars (80 in [[Super Mario 64 DS|remake]]) to be unlocked.

==Trivia==
*If Mario attempts to open the final door without 70 Power Stars, a message from Bowser will appear and the door will open. Mario can then enter the door, but will be deterred by the Endless Stairs ([[List of glitches in Super Mario 64#Backwards Long Jump|the Backwards Long Jump]] can be used to bypass these, allowing Mario to enter the final level).
*In the remake, if anyone other than Mario attempts to open the final door (80 Power Stars or not), they will still encounter the Endless Stairs.
*Only Mario can open Star Doors. However, once they're open, anyone can enter them.
