The Power Star is located on a ledge on the other side of the bay from the player's starting position. Next to the platform is a group of stalagmites that can be grabbed on to, with one of them holding a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] at its tip. The lower half of the spires cannot be climbed; if the player slides down the spire while holding on to the upper half, they quickly fall off. The [[level]]'s [[cannon]], which is unlocked by a [[Bob-omb Buddy]] on a low platform to the right of where the player starts, must be used in order to reach the Power Star. The player must launch themselves with the cannon to one of the stalagmites and then [[jump]] to the platform. [[Mario]] can simply use his [[Balloon Mario|floating power]] to get to the platform, and [[Luigi]] can [[Backward Somersault|backward-somersault]] from the ship to reach the platform. In ''Super Mario 64'', the Power Star is inside a [[! Block|yellow block]], while in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' (and ''Super Mario 64''{{'}}s Japanese releases, including ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]''), the Power Star is out in the open.
