'''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!" This sign is somewhat misleading, because you can open the Big Star Door if you have less than 70 Stars, but the stairs will never end -- hence the name, "endless stairs."|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980205065516/http://www.nintendo.com:80/n64/super_mario64/faqs.html|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy''|website=Internet Archive|accessdate=February 4, 2025}}</ref> or '''Star Doors''', are a special sliding type of [[★ door]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. 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.
