'''Star World''' is a location introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It played an instrumental role in the history of [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]. Five shooting stars (implied to be the Star Road) came from the light of Star World one night, and one of them knocked the top half of a [[Yoshi's Egg|fossilized egg]] to its lower half inhabited by contemporary monsters, resulting in [[Yoshi]] hatching. These events also resulted in the resurrection of other [[dinosaur]]s, and the islands came to be known as [[Dinosaur Land]].<ref>{{cite|date=February 1, 1992|title=「任天堂公式ガイドブック　ヨッシーのたまご」 (''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook – [[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi's Egg]]'')|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]|language=ja|isbn=4-09-104196-5|page={{file link|Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P7.jpg|7}}, {{file link|Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P8.jpg|8}}, {{file link|Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P9.jpg|9}}, {{file link|Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 10.jpg|10}}, {{file link|Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 11.jpg|11}}}}</ref> Star World is the shortest of all worlds, only having five levels.

==History==
===''Super Mario World''===
The Star World is the secret eighth [[world]] of ''Super Mario World''. It can be reached by finding one of the five hidden [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|Star Road]]s in ''Super Mario World''. The [[level]]s have different-colored [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s in them, and a [[Baby Yoshi]] appears at the start of a few of the levels so the player can exit the stage with a new ride. To progress in Star World, the player needs to find the secret exit of each level, with the exception of [[Star World 5]]. Through finding Star Roads and clearing stages in Star World, the player can take shortcuts in completing the game. The Star Roads link to [[Donut Plains]], the [[Vanilla Dome]], an island downstream of the [[Twin Bridges]], the outer area of the [[Forest of Illusion]], and the [[Valley of Bowser]]. By finding the secret exit in Star World 5, another Star Road leading to the [[Special Zone]] can be accessed. [[Star World (Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge)|Star World]] reappears in ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]''. The moon featured here now appears in the top right rather than the top left.

The levels are as follows:

===''Super Mario World'' television series===
[[File:SMWCartoonStarPath.png|thumb|The Star Path in "Send in the Clown"]]
Star World appears in at least two episodes of the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]], although here it is referred to as the '''Star Path'''. Unlike in the game, the middle hill has a visible door, similar to the domes in [[Dome City]], and the course itself visibly has pipes and lacks the red course marks. The Star Path first appears in the episode "[[Send in the Clown]]," where it was used by [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], Yoshi and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] to transport themselves to [[Bowser's Castle|Neon Castle]]. In "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]," the Star Path is used by Mario and Princess Toadstool to escape from several cave-people (as well as from Luigi and Yoshi), who have been mutated into [[Chickadactyl]]-monsters. What appears to be Star World also appears in "[[Party Line]]," when the [[Wiggler|caterpillar]]s are lost in space. It appears as a background object, and it is shown to be very tall.

==Notes==
*The music that plays in Star World is a slowed-down version of the [[Super Star]] [[Super Star (theme)|theme]].
**In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Star World music can be heard as part of a medley titled "Super Mario World Medley," alongside other songs from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
*The tilemap for Star World is labeled "majikant" in ''Super Mario World'' development assets, indicating that it may have originally been named after {{iw|wikibound|Magicant}} from ''{{iw|wikibound|EarthBound Beginnings|Mother}}''.<ref>{{cite|author=Frieze|date=July 24, 2020|url=x.com/IsoFrieze/status/1286759534493663233|title=this tilemap is titled "majikant" a la magicant from earthbound lol<br>it's the structure for the levels and paths in star world|publisher=X|language=en|accessdate=July 25, 2020}}</ref>
*[[Superstar Road]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' is similar to Star World. Not only is it star-shaped in appearance, but it is accessed from the main overworld through a star-shaped portal similar to a Star Road.
