What you first need to do is get ten stars from wherever you’d like in the game. Then, head back to 64’s main castle lobby.

When you step through the front doors, stand in the beam of sunlight and look upwards into it.

What you need to do is ground pound the big red switch on the floor in front of you, which will then let you continue on with the rest of the stage, Wing Cap in hand.

To actually use it to gets stars once you’ve unlocked it, you need to press B three times to triple jump. Mario will then launch himself into the air.
