"In the Talons of the Big Bird" is the firstmission ofShifting Sand Land inSuper Mario 64 andSuper Mario 64 DS. Its objective is to get thePower Star being held byKlepto.

Layout[edit]

Klepto the Condor is always circling the course, though in the first mission, he is carrying a Power Star. In order to obtain the Power Star, the player needs to stand on top of one of the pillars in the course and wait for Klepto to fly over it. Once he is in position, the player needs tojump at Klepto, which makes him drop the Star and has it land on the west side of the pyramid between the two pillars. If theWing Cap has been unlocked, the player canfly into Klepto to obtain the Power Star.

By selecting this Star, the player can return to thelevel to accumulate all of the level's other Stars (the lone exception being the "Silver Star" Star in the DS port). If the player returns to the level by selecting this Star, Klepto will be holding the Star and therefore will not attack the player, leaving them free to explore the level without his threat.
