While Power Stars themselves do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', the [[Shine Sprite]]s, [[Star Medal]]s, and [[Green Star]]s work similarly, unlocking levels should enough be collected.

In ''Super Mario 64'', Power Stars are scattered throughout the various courses, most pertaining to a certain [[mission]]. By obtaining a Power Star, the corresponding mission is cleared. Power Stars appear either in plain sight or after the player completes a mission objective, such as defeating a boss. There are seven Power Stars in each course; one is a secret Power Star that [[Mario]] can obtain from collecting 100 [[coin]]s, although these Power Stars are not associated with a mission. The various [[★ door]]s and [[Big Star Door]]s of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] require Mario to have at least a certain number of Power Stars (which is displayed on normal doors). There are eight [[Red Coin]]s in each course, and collecting all of them causes a Power Star to appear over a [[Star Marker]]. If Mario has already collected a Power Star, it appears transparent gray on the course. The [[Jumbo Star]] does not count toward the Power Star total. There is a total of 120 Power Stars. Fifteen of them are '''Secret Stars''', either found in secret areas or held by [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s. A minimum of 70 Power Stars are required to access [[Bowser in the Sky]]. Once Mario collects every Power Star, the [[cannon]] outside the Mushroom Castle becomes available for use, giving access to the castle's roof.

''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' features a total of 150 Power Stars, 30 more than in ''Super Mario 64''. An extra mission was added in each course, making a total of eight Power Stars per course (one of which is the 100-Coin Star). The game doubles the number of Secret Stars to 30. At least 80 Power Stars are required to enter Bowser in the Sky. Some Power Stars can be earned only by a certain character: two for [[Yoshi]], six for Mario, nine for [[Luigi]], and 12 for [[Wario]]. Some courses have a mission where five [[Silver Star]]s must be collected for the Power Star to appear in a [[Star Sphere]]. If the character loses a Silver Star, the Power Star disappears until he retrieves the Silver Star. In VS Mode, the objective is for each [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to get the most Power Stars within the time limit. In the mode, most Power Stars are contained within Star Spheres except for those in [[The Princess's Secret Slide]]. If a Yoshi is hit, it drops a Power Star, which bounces around the stage nonstop, much like Silver Stars, until a Yoshi picks it up.

Power Stars return in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where there is a total of 121 Stars to collect each for both Mario and Luigi (for a total of 242). They have a more metallic and rounded appearance than before. At least 60 stars (including five Grand Stars) are required to restore the [[Comet Observatory]]'s full power and lead to the final battle with Bowser.
Power Stars make a return in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where there are a total of 121 stars to collect each for both Mario and Luigi (for a total of 242). They have a more metallic and rounded appearance than before.


There are four types of Power Stars: First, there are regular Power Stars which serve the same purpose in other 3D ''Super Mario'' games. The second kind is the three [[Green Star]]s that, in addition to acting as normal Power Stars, unlock the Green [[Launch Star]] in the [[Comet Observatory]] which leads to the [[Trial Galaxies]]. The third type is the [[red Power Star]], of which only one appears in the game; it appears in the mission "[[Gateway's Purple Coins]]". Last are the seven [[Grand Star]]s, the first of which, and the only one obtained without a boss fight, is the first star in [[Gateway Galaxy]]. Subsequently, the other six Grand Stars are each collected by beating [[Bowser]] or [[Bowser Jr.]] These power up the Comet Observatory and unlock new [[Dome]]s to explore. Silver Stars also return from ''Super Mario 64 DS'', working in the same way, though they float alongside Mario once collected, and cannot be lost by taking damage.

In [[Hurry-Scurry Galaxy]], as well as the planet that appears in [[Sea Slide Galaxy]] when the [[Hungry Luma]] transforms in the third mission, collecting [[note]]s turns the [[black hole]] into a Power Star.

In the game's file system, there is an unused blue texture in the Power Star's data folder, suggesting that Blue Power Stars were originally going to be collectibles, but they were scrapped during development. This was removed in the [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|sequel]]'s file system.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20200823174218/https://twitter.com/supernoelybros/status/1297589843657138177|title=Super Mario Galaxy was at some point going to feature a Blue Power Star.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Power Stars play the same role as in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. There are 242 Power Stars in total (116 normal Power Stars, six [[Grand Star]]s, and 120 [[Green Star]]s). If the [[Cosmic Spirit]] is used to complete a mission, the star collected is a [[Bronze Star]] instead of a gold one.

When Mario collects his first Mushroom Kingdom Power Moon, [[Cappy]] suggests that Power Moons come in different shapes, implying Power Moons and Power Stars are the same type of object. When loaded into the [[Odyssey]] in the Mushroom Kingdom, they appear as regular Power Moons.

Stars reappear in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', working just as they do in ''Super Mario 64'', obtained after the player completes certain trials, such as defeating a boss or a certain number of enemies in time, and their use is to make Mario's way to [[Bowser]]. Collecting a Star grants 10,000 points. If the player does not get a [[Game Over]], every Star collected after that grants 10,000 more points than the previous one. At the end, the number of Stars obtained determines how much the point bonus is worth.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The jingle that plays when collecting a Power Star in ''Super Mario 64'' (a rearrangement of [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]'s theme) is arranged in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' as the jingle that plays when collecting a [[Power Moon]]. The original jingle plays in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]].
*While Power Stars themselves do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the [[Green Star]]s and [[Shine Sprite]]s work similarly, unlocking levels should enough be collected.
*In the ''Super Mario'' Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', a Power Star makes a small appearance on a painting of a Big Star Door.

*The music that plays in the [[Moon Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' shares similarities with the ambient music heard in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel before Mario/Luigi collects a Power/Grand Star in certain missions.
