They have appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', inside the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]. Like most locked doors in these games, a certain number of Power Stars must be obtained before they can be opened (although Big Star Doors require many more Power Stars than regular doors). Once unlocked, the doors will slide open, allowing [[Mario]] to enter. 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:
# The first floor door leads to [[Bowser in the Dark World]]. 8 (12 in the [[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 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 a [[endless stairs|staircase that never ends]] behind it unless Mario has at least 70 Power Stars (80 in the [[Super Mario 64 DS|remake]]). 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 Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', there is a painting of a Big Star Door.
