A '''Star Switch''' is a special type of switch that is introduced in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They are an additional gameplay element exclusive to the remake and did not appear in the original game, ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Star Switches resemble yellow stars and have an exclamation mark imprinted on them. They appear in 10 of the 15 main courses, where they are necessary for one of the seven course missions respectively. Each of these missions has the term "Switch Star" somewhere in its name. Five more Star Switches can be found in the other secret levels. 15 Switch Stars can be found throughout the entire game. Most of them require [[Wario]] to be collected, as the Star Switch, or the actual [[Power Star]] itself, is usually obstructed by some sort of strong material that [[Yoshi|the]] [[Mario|other]] [[Luigi|characters]] are not strong enough to break.
