+In ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS'', bubble rings are seen only in the ninth course: [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. When [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] swims through a bubble ring, it replenishes two wedges of his [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]] and a number appears above him. This number represents the number of consecutive bubble rings the player character has passed through. When the player character [[swim]]s through five consecutive bubble rings, he is granted a [[Power Star]].
+Bubble rings are required for the fourth and fifth Stars in Dire, Dire Docks. In the fourth mission, [[Through the Jet Stream (Dire, Dire Docks)|Through the Jet Stream]], the player character must swim to the other side of the tunnel to find a jet stream spraying out bubble rings. After the player character collects five of these bubble rings in a row, a Power Star appears above the jet stream, and [[Metal Mario]] or Metal Wario can collect it. In the fifth mission, [[The Manta Ray's Reward]], the player character finds a [[Manta|Manta Ray]] swimming around underwater and leaving a trail of bubble rings. The player character must follow this trail to collect five consecutive bubble rings and make the Power Star appear.
