Silver Stars first appeared in Super Mario 64 DS and are a new feature to the game. They are basically a weaker and silver colored Power Star. In some levels the player must collect 5 to get a Power Star. Most players will find them at the Sunshine Isles level in the toy room, though some levels like Tick-Tock Clock have them as well. If a character gets damaged while holding one or more Silver Stars, he will lose one and it will scatter and bounce around the area nonstop. The player must catch it again to retrieve it. The touch screen shows the location of these stars.

Similar physics are used in the multiplayer mode of Super Mario 64 DS and the missions may have been the inspiration of the multiplayer mode or the other way around.

Silver Stars reappear in Super Mario Galaxy having the same role as in Super Mario 64 DS. They make the same noises as Lumas do.
