Star Switch

A Star Switch is a type of ! Switch featured exclusively in Super Mario 64 DS.
==Description==
A Star Switch is featured in various "Switch Star" missions. When the player's character steps onto a Star Switch, a Power Star appears within a nearby Star Sphere. During this, the sound of a timer plays, indicating that the player's character has to quickly obtain the Power Star before it disappears. If they do not collect the Power Star on time, it disappears from the Star Sphere. In order for the Power Star to reappear, the player has to activate the Star Switch again.
There are a total of 15 Star Switches, each within a different course; ten of the Star Switches are in one of the main courses while the other five are in a secret level. Some of these require Wario to complete due to the Star Switch being hidden behind a Black Brick.
