In the Talons of the Big Bird

In the Talons of the Big Bird is the first mission of Shifting Sand Land in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS.
==Layout==
Shifting Sand Land retains its general layout. However, while Klepto is present in every mission, In the Talons of the Big Bird specifically features him carrying a Power Star.
==Objective==
To obtain the Power Star, Mario (or Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario) has to stand on top of a pillar and wait for Klepto to fly over it. Once Klepto is within reach, Mario has to jump at Klepto, causing it to drop the Power Star, which lands on the west side of the pyramid, between the two pillars. Alternatively, Mario can have Klepto drop the Power Star by flying into it as Wing Mario.
==Trivia==
*In Super Mario 64, any of the other missions can be completed by selecting "In the Talons of the Big Bird" on Shifting Sand Land's selection menu. In Super Mario 64 DS, the only mission that cannot be completed in In the Talons of the Big Bird is Pyramid Puzzle, as it involves collecting Silver Stars, unlike the original.
