Signs can be read by the player character in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' by pressing {{button|n64|b}} on the Nintendo 64 Controller or {{button|ds|a}} on the Nintendo DS system, respectively. It is the same input used by the player to speak with a non-playable character. Signs compensate for the diversity of moves the developers included in the game and provide context for players who may be lost.

Typically, signs provide information on a move the player can perform or contextualize a potentially cryptic detail in the environment. The signs that are staked into the ground can be [[Ground Pound|ground-pounded]] by the player character, rendering it unreadable unless they exit and reenter the course. Like [[stump|stake]]s, it takes [[Mario]] three strikes to fully bury the sign. This is the case for [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]] in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' as well. [[Wario]] can bury signs in a single strike, and can also uproot them and carry them around if he approaches one from behind. Signs otherwise occur pinned to walls and can only be read.

Some of the text on signs were written by other characters in the game, such as the [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]], a [[Penguin|Big Penguin]], and a [[Piranha Plant]]. [[Ukikipedia:Main Page|Ukikipedia]] has fully documented all lines of text displayed on the signs and the locality of each one. Their list can be viewed [[Ukikipedia:All text|here]].
