Star Door

Star Doors are a type of door found throughout Princess Peach's Castle in Super Mario 64 and its remake Super Mario 64 DS.
==Description==
Each Star Door depicts a star on the front, and requires that Mario has a minimum number of Power Stars to open, with a red number of said requirement being depicted on the star. Once the requirement has been met, the character stands in front of the Star Door, holds out a Power Star that spins before dissipating into sparkles, and opens the door. This animation is only shown once per Star Door, as after it is unlocked, the character can enter the Star Door as if it were a regular Star Door.
A majority of Star Doors appear in the foyer of Peach's Castle. At first, the only accessible Star Door is the one leading into a room with the Bob-omb Battlefield painting as it does not have any Power Star requirement. Collecting one Power Star in said course then unlocks the way to Whomp's Fortress and The Princess's Secret Slide. Aside from the Star Door to Bob-omb Battlefield, there are also three others with no requirement, two of which are on the upper floor and one of which is on the basement floor. Unlike the Star Door of Bob-omb Battlefield, because these are not initially the only accessible areas within their respective floor, they have the same role as a regular door throughout, and their status of being Star Door is only because they have the same appearance as the Star Door of Bob-omb Battlefield.
There are larger Star Doors known as Big Star Doors, and most of them lead to one of the courses where Bowser is fought.
==List of Star Doors==
There are eight Star Doors in Super Mario 64, increased to ten in Super Mario 64 DS.
