'''Eldstar''' is one of the seven [[Star Spirits]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. As indicated by his name, he is the elder of [[Star Haven]] and is inferred to be the leader and the oldest of the Star Spirits. He has a large white mustache, white eyebrows, and dark green eyes. He bears a resemblance to [[Millennium Star]] from ''[[Mario Party 3]]''.

==History==
===''Paper Mario''===

[[File:Eldstar PM.png|frame|left]]
Eldstar, along with the other Star Spirits, visits [[Mario]] after his loss to [[Bowser]] during the opening moments of ''Paper Mario''. While Mario is unconscious, Eldstar comes to him in a dreamlike state and tells Mario that he must go to [[Star Hill|Shooting Star Summit]]. He then disappears, and when Mario asks the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] about it, he tells Mario that he did not see anyone go in or out. 

When Mario arrives at Shooting Star Summit, Eldstar is waiting for him. He and the other Star Spirits tell Mario that Bowser has captured them, and that they are only talking to him through a spiritual link that will soon be extinguished. He tells Mario and [[Goombario]] that to stop Bowser and save [[Princess Peach]], Mario must first rescue the Star Spirits.

Eldstar is guarded by the [[Koopa Bros.]] in [[Paper Mario#Chapter 1: Storming Koopa Bros. Fortress|Chapter 1: Storming Koopa Bros. Fortress]] and is the first Star Spirit rescued. When he is rescued, he grants Mario the powers of [[Refresh]] and [[Focus]]. Refresh causes Eldstar to replenish Mario's [[Heart Point|HP]] and [[Flower Point|FP]] by 5, and costs one [[Star Power]]. Focus causes Mario's Star energy to be boosted, and does not cost any Star Power. Eldstar later appears along with the rest of the Star Spirits in [[Star Haven]] when they give Mario the [[Star Beam]].

===''Paper Mario''===
===="Advice From The Star Spirits" entry====
Eldstar's "Advice From The Star Spirits", from the ''Paper Mario'' instruction booklet is as follows:

<blockquote>
<p>''Eldstar's Hint: When you see a "!" mark, explore.''</p>
<p>"Mario, my boy! When you see an "!" on the Field Screen, press "A" to investigate. You may find hidden switches or other things that will open closed roads. Hitting trees with your Hammer is also a fine idea. You may just knock down coins or other items that are stuck in branches."</p>
<p>''Make sure to search bushes, signs, and other places that catch your eye. Stand next to a tree, then use your Hammer.''</p>
</blockquote>

====Tattle====
[[Goombario]] can use [[Tattle]] on Eldstar only as a projection when Mario visits [[Star Hill#Paper Mario|Shooting Star Summit]] for the first time but before talking to the [[Star Spirits]]. He and [[Misstar]] are the only Star Spirits who can be tattled on.
{{quote|He's an old [[Star Spirit]]. His name is Eldstar. He reminds me of [[Goompa|my grandpa]]. He's a revered person who lives in [[Star Haven]], way up beyond the sky. Uh...a revered star, I mean. I wonder why he's here. He should be in Star Haven. And why does he look so... dim? I can see right through him.|Goombario|Paper Mario}}
