| | '''Monstar''' was a ghost-like monster that attacked those entering [[Starborn Valley]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. When [[Mario]] and his friends first encountered it, Monster looked like a tough boss. But, Monstar was really nothing more than a bunch of [[Star Kid]]s trying to protect their home. When Monster was about to attack, it would make a huge light show with amazing special effects. However, players were both shocked and relieved to find that the attack dealt only 1 damage point. Many had no problem taking care of him. |
| '''Monstar''' is a ghost-like monster from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. This creature appears and ambushes Mario and his partners as they approach the outskirts of [[Starborn Valley]], where it warns them to "turn away" and "go no further," lest they be "eaten." The player will then be presented with the choice to either flee the area or fight; choosing the latter option will initiate the battle. Its name is a pun on "monster", and "star" (due to being made out of [[Star Kid]]s). | |

| Despite an intimidating appearance, an attack consisting of a flurry of shooting stars, and Goombario's Tattle assuming that "it must be very powerful," Monstar has only 20 HP and an attack power of 1. Upon its defeat, the creature is revealed to be nothing more than a handful of [[Star Kid]]s trying to protect the valley, who attempt to give one last warning before retreating.
| | The battle was really simply moving the plot along than anything else. |

| | == Stats and Tattle Information == |
| During battle, Monstar is immune to the powers granted by the [[Star Spirits]] as well as the [[Shooting Star (item)|Shooting Star]] item, as it is itself a creature made from stars.

| | *'''Tattle:''' This monster... Even I don't know what it is! I don't know why, but it looks really terrifying. ...I get the funny feeling I had a nightmare about it... I don't know its attack power, but it must be very powerful, judging by its looks. |

| Monstar also appears in the 27th issue of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. It terrifies and attacks Mario, [[Goombario]], and [[Kooper]], but when Mario defeats it, many Star Kids reveal themselves and escape, surprising Mario and his group.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| [[File:Monstar.png|thumb|100px|Monstar's star pattern in the Wii and Wii U releases of the game.]] | |
| *In the original [[Nintendo 64]] version of the game, Monstar has a moving iridescent star pattern over it. However, most emulators, including the official [[Virtual Console]] version on the Wii and Wii U, incorrectly render this as a cloud of star-like particles surrounding it. The [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online]] version partially corrects this by having the star pattern extend to the outline of Monstar's sprite.
