Dire, Dire Docks Star 1
A view of Bowser's Submarine

The Power Star for this mission is located on the deck of Bowser's Submarine. To get to it, the player must first swim to the second area of the course through the tunnel, then climb onto the boardwalk along the wall. Pressing the Purple Switch causes some blocks to appear, which the player can use as platforms to reach the top of the Sub. The Power Star is on the opposite side. In Super Mario 64 DS, a Turtle Cannon is added to the Sub.

Collecting this Power Star opens the way to Bowser in the Fire Sea. Once Bowser in the Fire Sea is completed, the Sub moves out of Dire, Dire Docks through the newly opened hole. However, the Power Star remains and can still be collected with a well-executed jump from the poles. In the DS version, collecting this Star after the Sub leaves is easier by using either Yoshi's Flutter Kick, Luigi's scuttle, or Mario's balloon ability.

  • Except for the Jumbo Star, which does not add to the Star count, this is the only Power Star required to beat the games, without the use of glitches.
