A '''Star Switch''' is a special type of [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]] that is introduced in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Star Switches resemble yellow stars and have an exclamation mark imprinted on each. They appear in ten of the fifteen 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. Fifteen 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]], [[Mario]], and [[Luigi]] are not strong enough to break.
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 ten of the fifteen 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 fifteen 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.

Any playable character is able to activate the Star Switches by stepping on them. Once one is activated, it will make a Power Star appear in a [[Star Sphere]] within the same level. The Power Star remains there for only a short time, so the player needs to hurry in order to reach the Star in time, or else they will have to press the switch again. The time limit varies depending on the respective switch.
