A '''star''' (originally formatted as '''Star'''), or '''Star Man''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) issue 30|page=11 and 15|date=September 1995}}</ref> is an [[List of items|item]] in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. Stars appear from certain defeated enemies and some [[Winged Cloud]]s or from dropping an enemy or [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] inside a [[tulip]]. Winged Clouds can hold five stars, while tulips spit out eight stars. However, if a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] has reached the maximum number of stars, these stars are replaced by [[coin]]s. There are also packs of stars that come in [[10-Point Star|10]] or [[20-Point Star|20]]. Two of them also appear if a [[Red Egg]] hits an enemy. These stars are used when [[Baby Mario]] falls off a Yoshi's back. The stars create a bubble around Baby Mario, protecting him from [[Toady|Toadies]] until it is depleted. Every star collected adds one more second to the [[Countdown Timer]], maxing at 30. [[Checkpoint Ring]]s give a Yoshi ten more seconds as he passes through them. Should the player recover Baby Mario with fewer than 10 stars remaining, the counter gradually refills to 10. In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', [[Coin (hopping)|a type of coin]] acts similarly to the Stars, while in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', stars are replaced by [[Heart (item)|Heart]]s.

[[Shy Guy]]s turn into stars when Yoshi performs the [[Ground Pound]] in the [[Yoshi (microgame)|Yoshi]] [[microgame]] of ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]''

Stars appear at {{wp|Universal Studios Hollywood}}'s [[Super Nintendo World]] in the [[Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge]] queue. They lack mouths, looking more like the [[Super Star]].
