—Sign,Super Mario 64 DS

AStar Sphere is an object inSuper Mario 64 DS. It is a transparent crystal sphere that can contain aPower Star. If the player obtains fiveSilver Stars or presses aStar Switch, a Power Star appears in the Star Sphere. If a Star Switch is pressed, the Star remains in the Star Sphere for a short time. If the player collected all five Silver Stars and then drops one, the Star in the Star Sphere disappears. When the Star Sphere is touched with a Star inside, it breaks and the player gets the Power Star. In VS Mode, most of the Power Stars are found in Star Spheres, except for the ones inThe Princess's Secret Slide.
