The '''Sapphire Star''' is the fifth of the [[Crystal Stars]] [[Mario]] collects in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', obtained after finishing Chapter 5: The Key to Pirates.

According to the legend of the Crystal Stars as told by [[Grifty]], the Sapphire Star was brought to [[Keelhaul Key]] by the tired [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] [[List of implied characters#Four heroes|hero]] in an effort to keep it safe. However, the pirate [[Cortez]] stole the star from him easily and added it to his treasure hoard.<ref>"The Koopa hero went to a southern isle to hide his star where none would find it. But the Koopa was so tired from his journey that the pirate Cortez stole it easily." - [[Grifty]]</ref> After being shipwrecked on Keelhaul Key and navigating [[Pirate's Grotto]], Mario encounters Cortez and battles him for the Sapphire Star. After the battle, Cortez gives it up willingly, stating he didn't even like it nor need it. The Sapphire Star teaches Mario the move [[Sweet Feast]] to use in battles.

During the final battle with the [[Shadow Queen]], when the Crystal Stars spread out to the locations in which they were found, the Sapphire Star returns to Keelhaul Key, where [[Pa-Patch]] and the rest of the shipwrecked crew lend their support to Mario and his team just before the final round.
