|effect=Collecting them adds time to the [[Countdown Timer]] if [[Baby Mario]] is let go (touched an enemy).

The '''stars''' (originally capitalized), or '''Star Men''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) issue 30, pages 11 and 15.</ref> are a common collectible in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' games, found in certain defeated enemies and some [[Winged Cloud]]s or by dropping an enemy or [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] inside a [[tulip]]. Winged Clouds can hold five stars, while tulips spout out eight stars. However, if a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] has reached the maximum number of stars, these stars will be 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 an egg hits an enemy while it is red. 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 will gradually refill to 10. In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', stars are replaced by [[Heart (item)|Heart]]s.

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

*'''Nintendo 3DS electronic manual description:''' ''Each one increases your star power by one. The maximum that you can have at any time is 30.''
