When the Power Meter has one or two wedges remaining, Mario begins to pant when standing still on the ground. This is only a cosmetic effect as he can still perform moves. When Mario is underwater, an alarm goes off. If the Power Meter runs out at any time, Mario loses a life and forcibly exits whatever level he is currently in (excluding the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], where he is just placed outside the building). When Mario lands on the ground after he is forced to exit the level, the Power Meter refills all of the wedges, starting from one wedge. If Mario loses his last life, he is given a [[Game Over]]. | When the Power Meter has one or two wedges remaining, Mario begins to pant when standing still on the ground.

In ''Super Mario 64'', when Mario gets swallowed by [[Cheep Chomp|Bubba]], all of the wedges remaining disappear simultaneously. | In ''Super Mario 64'', when Mario gets swallowed by [[Cheep Chomp|Bubba]], all of the wedges remaining disappear simultaneously. This instant depletion doesn't happen in the remake, although the player character still instantly loses a life. | ||
The Power Meter appears again in the remake ''Super Mario 64 DS'', now with a black outline around it. It acts the same, though with two additions: When the player changes characters or when they grab a Power Star that does not force the character out of a level, such as a [[Bowser]] stage Red Coin Star or a 100-Coin Star, the Power Meter fully refills. Also, if the player is under the [[smoke|strange toxic cloud]] and one or two wedges are left, the alarm that sounds while the player is underwater sounds. The Power Meter depletes or replenishes multiple wedges at a slower speed than in ''Super Mario 64''. | The Power Meter appears again in the remake ''Super Mario 64 DS'', now with a black outline around it.
