The '''Millennium Star''' is the name of two known [[star (species)|star]] entities, one false and one real, appearing in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. The false Millennium Star is the host and a major character in ''Mario Party 3'', replacing [[Toad]] from the previous two titles; it is not revealed until the game's ending that he is not the real Millennium Star, before the player is awarded with the real one. The Millennium Star's name may be a reference to the fact that ''Mario Party 3'' was originally released in Japan in the year 2000, the final year before the [[wikipedia:3rd millennium|third millennium]]. The game explains this as being a specific type of star born once every thousand years, or once a millennium.

The false Millennium Star is a silver, mustachioed star who will grant the wish of any player who passes his test. The Millennium Star fell on the garden near [[Peach's Castle]] while [[Mario]] and his friends were resting. Mario and his friends argued about who would get the star, which resulted in [[Lakitu]] coming and suggesting that they have a contest to see who claims the star as theirs.

When the player first meets [[Princess Daisy]] during the story mode, Daisy makes the Millennium Star fall in love with her. When the player beats [[Waluigi's Island]] (the final board), the Millennium Star states that the player has one more opponent, finally revealing that the opponent is the Millennium Star himself. He challenges the player to the [[Stardust Battle]], and after the player completes it, the Millennium Star reveals he is not the real Millennium Star and flies away. [[Tumble]] then opens the top of his die cap to reveal the real Millennium Star, an all white star that emits a rainbow-colored halo and truly has the power to declare the player's character as the "Superstar of the Universe".
