'''Stars''' are a race of celestial beings who have appeared in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', [[Geno]] (real name ♡ ♪ ! ?) is a star-like being from [[Star Road (Super Mario RPG)|Star Road]] who was sent by a "higher authority" to aid the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in its hour of need against the [[Smithy Gang]] by possessing a wooden doll. He decided to join Mario on his quest to save the kingdom when he realized he could not do it alone. Although Geno is a type of star being, it is unknown if he is directly related to the star species.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Stars are known to live in a city above [[Shooting Star Summit]], called [[Star Haven]] where they are led by the [[Star Spirits]]. Stars begin their lives as [[Star Kid]]s in [[Starborn Valley]] under the care of [[Merle]] and some [[Ninji]]s. [[Twink]], a notable Star Kid, aids [[Princess Peach]] while she is kidnapped by [[Bowser]].

====Individual Tattles====

*"''He's a Star Haven resident. He doesn't look well. Doesn't he know that we rescued all the Star Spirits?''"

*"''This Star sells things in this shop. He also checks and buys items. There must be some extremely rare items here. Did you find anything good, Mario?''"

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', a species of Star known as '''Star Sprites''' appear. Unlike regular stars, Star Sprites have spherical yellow bodies with small feet and have stars perched on their heads. However, in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', [[Starlow]] implies that the true form of Star Sprites is very different, as she actually has eight heads. Only four members of this species are shown, the first being Starlow, who appears in the present timeline of the game, and the other three are elderly Star Sprites, who are shown in a flashback and were responsible for sealing away the evil [[Dark Star]].

Starlow makes further appearances in later [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' games]], usually nominally referencing the Star Sprites.

*In all European translations but the English and Spanish ones, the Star Sprites are called "Star Spirits," but it is not clear if they are related to ''Paper Mario''{{'}}s Star Spirits. Their Japanese name is written as 「スターの精」 ''Sutā no Sei'' compared to the Star Spirits' 「{{hover|星|ほし}}の精」 ''Hoshi no Sei'', both of which translate into "Star Spirits" or "Star Sprites". Additionally, in the American English version of ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', Starlow introduces herself as a representative of the "star spirits" rather than the Star Sprites.
