“The shadowy star in front of you is a "Star Marker." When you collect all 8 Red Coins, the Star will appear here.”

—Sign, Super Mario 64

Star Markers are objects in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. They are shadowy, star-shaped figures that indicate where a Power Star appears when the player collects all eight Red Coins in a level. Jolly Roger Bay, Bowser in the Dark World, Bowser in the Fire Sea, and Bowser in the Sky all lack a Star Marker.
