'''Power Stars''', also referred to as '''Stars | '''Power Stars''', also referred to as '''Stars''', are collectible items introduced in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' that can grant [[Mario]] access to more [[level]]s in-game, unlike the similar-looking [[Super Star]]s, which only give brief [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]]. In ''Super Mario 64'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', when the Star for any given level has been collected, playing the level again turns the Star into a translucent version of itself (similar to how [[Star Coin]]s work). This Star can be collected, but it does not add to the player's total Star count. 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. | ||

Silver Stars also return from ''Super Mario 64 DS'', working in the same way, though they float alongside Mario once collected, and can't be lost by taking damage. | ||

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. | In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Power Stars play the same role as in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
