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.

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.

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 Odyssey]]''{{'}}s [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Power Moon]]s resemble the original appearance of the Power Stars, even playing the jingle that plays upon collecting a Power Star in ''Super Mario 64'' when they are collected, replacing the standard Power Moon jingle (which is arranged from the ''Super Mario 64'' jingle) in this kingdom. 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.

Power Stars are collectibles in ''[[Mario Net Quest]]''. Clicking on one gives the player 1,500 points. However, their appearance is always followed by [[Bowser]], and clicking on him causes an instant [[Game Over]].
