'''Star Doors''' are doors that restrict progress to certain required parts of the game until the player has the necessary number of [[Power Stars]]. They have appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' inside [[Princess 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. Only Mario can unlock a Star Door, but once it is unlocked, any character can enter it.

Four 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 [[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 [[Endless Stairs|staircase that never ends]] unless Mario has at least 70 Power Stars (80 in the [[Super Mario 64 DS|remake]]).

==Trivia==
*In the original game, 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, they will still encounter the Endless Stairs, regardless of the number of Power Stars.
*In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft: Wii U Edition]]'', there is a painting of a Star Door.

-'''Big Star Doors''',<ref>{{cite|quote=The sign next to the Big Star Door reads, "To open the door that leads to the 'endless' stairs, you need 70 Stars. Mwa ha ha!"

They restrict access to areas that are mandatory for progressing in the plot, usually to a location with [[Bowser]], but still require a number of [[Power Star]]s to unlock, like ★ doors. In the remake, only [[Mario]] can unlock a Big Star Door, but once it is unlocked, any character can enter it.
-There are four Big Star Doors. The one on the first floor leads to [[Bowser in the Dark World]] and requires 8 [[Power Star]]s to open (12 in the remake). The second one is on the basement floor and leads to [[Dire, Dire Docks]] and [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], although requires 30 Power Stars to open. The third Big Star Door is at the top of a staircase on the second floor and requires 50 Power Stars to open, allowing access to [[Tick Tock Clock]], [[Rainbow Ride]], and [[Over the Rainbows|Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]] afterward. The last door leads to the [[Bowser in the Sky|final battle with Bowser]], and although it has no Power Star requirement, it has an [[endless stairs|endless staircase]] behind it unless Mario has at least 70 Power Stars (80 in the remake). In the remake, the other player characters are always met by the endless staircase, regardless of how many Power Stars they have.
