'''Star Roads''' are stars that act as warp points to other locations, most notably in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
 
==History==
===''Super Mario World''===
[[File:Star Road.png|frame|left]]

Star Roads debut in ''Super Mario World'', connecting five points in [[Dinosaur Land]] to [[Star World]]. They are unlocked by finding secret exits in different [[level]]s. When entering a Star Road, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] spins around rapidly before moving upwards and teleporting to Star World.
'''Star Roads''' debuted during ''[[Super Mario World]]''. These are stars on the map that connect various points in [[Dinosaur Land]] to [[Star World]]. They are placed to provide shortcuts across the world, though beating all of Star World's levels is necessary to get the full effect of their shortcut-oriented purpose. All the Star Roads can be found by beating a level with a second exit. If the player goes to a Star Road in Star World without beating the level in Dinosaur Land that leads to it, the road will be showing on the [[map]] but [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] will not be able to move forward towards the unbeaten Dinosaur Land level (in [[Valley of Bowser]] however, Mario or Luigi are able to reach Bowser's Castle this way). Red and green blocks must be activated to fully use them.
 
When in Star World, the secret exit of each level allows Mario or Luigi to move to the next Star Road, regardless if he has encountered it in Dinosaur Land first. If the player goes to a Star Road in Star World without beating the level in Dinosaur Land that leads to it, the road will show on the map, but Mario or Luigi will not be able to move forward towards the unbeaten Dinosaur Land level. However, the Star Road in the [[Valley of Bowser]] is an exception, and it allows Mario or Luigi to enter [[Bowser's Castle]] this way.
 
===''Super Mario World'' television series===

Though never named, Star Roads make at least two appearances in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' cartoon]]. They serve an identical purpose, being able to warp people to Star World (or the "Star Path," as it is called on the show), and appear only alongside the Star Path itself. The cartoon depicts Star Roads as large star-shaped structures found on high cliffs; the only major difference between the Star Roads of the game and those of the show is that the ones seen on the show lack eyes and do not stand upright.
 
Star Roads debut in "[[Send in the Clown]]," where Mario, Luigi, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Yoshi]] use a Star Road to access [[Bowser's Castle|Neon Castle]] through the Star Path. Their second and final appearance is in "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]," where Mario and Toadstool use a Star Road to evade pursuit from a group of cave people-turned-[[Chickadactyl]]s.
 
The fact that both Star Roads featured in the show are seemingly found on the same cliff may indicate that they are the same Star Road, or perhaps that only one Star Road exists in the show. However, the former is more likely, as both Star Roads are shown to be near or within the limits of [[Dome City]]. Most of the Star Roads on the Star Path itself (save for one seen in the episode "King Scoopa Koopa") are replaced by [[Warp Pipe]]s instead. "King Scoopa Koopa" shows that the Warp Pipes act as the endpoint of Star Roads, while "Send in the Clown" depicts the landing point of Star Roads as a varying area on the Star Path. Both episodes show that these Warp Pipes have the same purpose as the Star Roads from the game.  


===''Mario Sports Mix''===

The Star Road is the [[Star Cup]]'s alternate route in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. If players complete missions during the road, it will become a big star for them to jump through, sending them back to the normal tournament for the final match.
Though never named, Star Roads made at least two appearances in [[Super Mario World (television series)|the ''Super Mario World'' cartoon]]. In the cartoon, they had the exact same purpose as they did in the game; therefore, Star Roads could warp people to Star World (or "Star Path", as it was called on the show) and only appeared alongside Star Path itself. The cartoon depicted Star Roads as large, star-shaped slabs of yellow stone found on high cliffs; the only major difference between the Star Roads of the game and those of the show were that the ones seen on the show lacked eyes and did not stand upright. The fact that both Star Roads featured in the show were seemingly found on the same cliff may indicate that they were the same Star Road, or perhaps even suggest that only one Star Road existed in the show. However, the former is more likely, as both Star Roads were shown to be near (or perhaps within) the limits of [[Dome City]]. Most of the Star Roads on the Star Path itself (save for one seen in the episode "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]") were replaced with [[Warp Pipe]]s; "King Scoopa Koopa" shows that these Warp Pipes act as the ending areas of Star Roads while the separate episode "[[Send in the Clown]]" showed the landing point of the Star Roads as a possibly varying area on the Star Path, and both episodes show that the Warp Pipes have the same purpose of connecting areas in Dinosaur Land that their Star Road predecessors possessed in-game. The debut of Star Roads in the cartoon came in "Send in the Clowns", where Mario, Luigi, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Yoshi]] used a Star Road to access [[Bowser's Castle|Neon Castle]] through Star Path, and they had their second and final appearance in "King Scoopa Koopa", where Mario and Toadstool (as well as a group of [[human|cavepeople]]-turned-[[Chickadactyl]]s, including Luigi and Yoshi) used a Star Road to slow down a wild pursuit.


In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', the Star Road also appeared as the [[Star Cup]]'s alternate route. If players complete missions during the road, then it will become a big star for players to jump through, sending them back to the normal tournament for the final match.
