| | A '''Star Switch''' is an item that appears only in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. As it's name implies, it is a star-shaped switch with a ! on it, and if the player steps on it, a [[Power Star]] will appear in the [[Star Sphere]], hidden somewhere in the level. The Power Star will only last for ten seconds before it disappears entirely. |

| A '''Star Switch''' is a type of [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]] appearing only in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Star Switches resemble yellow stars and have an exclamation mark imprinted on each. Any playable character can activate a Star Switch by stepping on it. In doing so, a [[Power Star]] temporarily appears in a nearby [[Star Sphere]], so the player is given limited time to collect it, or else they will have to press the Star Switch again. The time limit varies per Star Switch, with some having a longer duration than others. Star Switches appear in 10 of the 15 main courses, where they are necessary for one of the seven [[mission]]s, each having "Switch Star" somewhere in its name, respectively. Five more Star Switches can be found in the other secret levels, so there is a total of 15 Switch Stars. Most of these missions require [[Wario]] to complete because the Star Switch, or the actual Power Star itself, is usually obstructed by something too powerful for [[Yoshi]], [[Mario]], and [[Luigi]] to break. | |
