Starting with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if the player collides with and defeats eight enemies while invincible (five in ''[[Super Mario Land 2]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''), they will get an [[extra life]].

[[File:SMB Star.jpg|thumb|100px|left|A Starman's original design for ''Super Mario Bros.'']]
[[File:SMB Star.jpg|thumb|100px|left|A Starman in ''Super Mario Bros.'']]
Starmen made their debut in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', first found in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. The Starman is a very rare item, only found in some levels. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] gets it, they will turn invincible, allowing them to destroy enemies and go through hazards without getting hurt (though they will still lose a life if they fall in a [[pit]] or run out of time). However, the star's power is only temporary, and it will disappear after a certain amount of time. Invincibility is indicated by Mario's flashing sprites and the Starman theme which replaces the current soundtrack. This is the first ''Super Mario'' power-up to have eyes. The item returns in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', functionally identical as before.

====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
The Super Star returns in the same manner as everything else that returns in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. They still grant Mario invincibility and the ability to defeat any enemy he touches.


====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Starmen return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', including ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' before it was redeveloped into this game. The only way to obtain one is to collect five [[Cherry|cherries]] in a level. They have the exact same effect as in the previous games, though instead of bouncing, a Starman will float upwards from the bottom of the screen in a zig-zag fashion after the required cherries are collected.

Starmen are more common in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Just like the preceding games, they grant Mario invincibility, but in addition, Mario can run slightly faster than normal. However, unlike most other games, the star's power lasts shorter than normal. If Mario jumps when he is not [[Small Mario]], he does flips in the air. This game also introduces '''Continuous Starman'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars'' Player's Guide|page=113|date=1993|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Peterson, Erik|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Player's Guide|page=10|date=2003|publisher=Nintendo of America|isbn=1930206-37-2|language=en}}</ref> chains, where certain ? Blocks that normally contain [[coin]]s will contain additional stars instead if Mario is invincible when hitting them. If Mario is fast/efficient enough, he can complete large sections of a level while invincible. This is achievable on [[World 3-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Worlds 3-2]], [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|5-1]], [[World 5-7 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|5-7]], [[World 7-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|7-3]], and [[World 7-7 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|7-7]], and it is the only way to complete the last of these levels. Starmen also appear as icons in the [[goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]] roulette, which must be hit in order to clear a level. If the player gets three Stars (easily done by running at max speed and jumping to the goal at a 45° angle), they receive five [[extra lives]].

Stars make a return in the game, ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. Little has changed between the preceding game and this game regarding gameplay effects. The music, however, is different than the ordinary music; it is composed of two loops of an excerpt from the famous "Galop infernal" from ''{{wp|Orpheus in the Underworld}}'' by {{wp|Jacques Offenbach}}, a tune most commonly associated with the {{wp|Can-Can|can-can}}.

Super Stars are very rare in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', just like the preceding games. Stars are mostly found in [[Roulette Block]]s. If the player manages to get a star while the items are getting changed, they will be able to defeat any enemy and become invincible to any attacks for a limited amount of time, as in past games.

The main difference, however, is that the player scores a combo, similar to a shell or a jump combo, when he defeats enemies. This results in increasing point values for successive enemies, eventually gaining [[extra life|extra lives]] starting on the eighth, which became a recurring trait of the power-up, including in remakes of [[Super Mario Bros. 2|previous]] [[Super Mario Bros. 3|games]] where this trait was not present.

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', Stars do not move when freed from blocks; they can also be gained by defeating 100 enemies. They make Mario turn invincible and move faster, much like in previous games, though he gains extra lives from the fifth enemy defeated onwards, rather than the eighth. As with ''Super Mario Land'', the Super Star theme is a unique composition.<ref>{{cite|author=GamingThemes|date=April 30, 2014|url=youtu.be/wfL4inbxI_0|title=Invincibility Theme - Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 29, 2015}}</ref>

Starmen once again turn the player invincible in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are much rarer in this game and sometimes appear in hidden ? Blocks. None of them can be found in Toad Houses, and there is no way to put one as a [[item storage|Stored Item]]. Mario and Luigi can run a lot faster when they are invincible, as the star's power does not last as long (only about 10 seconds). The star is the second rarest item (after the Blue Shell power-up) and can only be found in some levels, such as [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|Worlds 1-1]], [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|1-2]], [[World 4-6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|4-6]], [[World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)|4-Castle]], [[World 6-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|6-2]], [[World 7-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|7-3]], [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|8-4]], and [[World 8-7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|8-7]]. There is a new ability for the Starmen: a trail of [[Blue Coin]]s will appear behind the player, though it only happens in certain levels. In the Mario vs. Luigi mode, a Starman may potentially appear when a brother collects eight [[coin]]s. A player has a higher chance of receiving a Starman if they are losing. A different type of star also appears exclusively in the multiplayer mode, a [[Big Star]]. Mario or Luigi has to collect a certain number (three, five or ten) of them to win.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Stars are mostly found through [[Roulette Block]]s or just regular [[? Block]]s. They behave very similarly to the previous game, but with a different theme cover and they now have the ability to light up dark places entirely. The player can now obtain them from [[Toad House]]s and store them in the inventory. If an invincible player grabs another player, they too will gain the power of invincibility.

Super Stars make their 3D ''Super Mario'' debut in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', and have the same abilities as in previous games. They are exceptionally more common in this game. Like in ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', in order to start getting extra lives for hitting enemies, the player only needs to hit five enemies, instead of the standard eight. As the power-up begins to wear off, the music becomes faster, similar to the Rainbow Stars in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games. Unlike them, however, the music speeds up in the second bar rather than the fifth bar in this game and ''Super Mario 3D World'', although in the [[List of Super Mario 3D Land pre-release and unused content#Demo|E3 2011 demo version]], it sped up in the fifth bar like in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

Super Stars reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]], this time working like they do in most other games, though the sharing feature from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' is retained: when one player acquires a Super Star, they can touch other players and make them invincible as well. Unlike in most other games, though, they only award an extra life for every eighth enemy defeated on contact. They do not appear as frequently as they do in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. After the player gets an extra life, the chain of points restarts (...4,000 - 8,000 - 1UP - 200 - 400...), unlike other games of the ''Super Mario'' series.

Super Stars reappear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', following much of the same rules for appearances and moving as before. In this game, Super Stars still grant invincibility, but have the additional effect of magnetizing nearby coins and [[Bonus Medal]]s to the user. [[Black Coin]]s and [[Red Coin]]s are resistant to this force. The Black Coins only shake left to right. In Toad Rally, collecting a Super Star will also start Coin Rush mode, with the meter glowing white until the effects wear off. In Remix 10, while Coin Rush is not an element, Super Stars grant an effect similar to it. The screen dims, more coins start to appear, defeating enemies is worth additional coins, ? Blocks that drop coins drop more coins, and ? Blocks that drop power-ups drop three power-ups instead of one. In Remix 10, every 100 coins the player collects resets the coin counter and gives them a [[bubble]]d power-up. If the player is [[Super Mario (form)|Super]], then a Super Star is provided.
Super Stars reappear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. This time around, the user of the item becomes slightly magnetic as well as invincible, as coins will be drawn towards them. [[Black Coin]]s, however, are resistant to this force and will simply shake left to right. In Toad Rally, collecting a Super Star will also start Coin Rush mode, with the meter glowing white until the effects wear off.
 
Super Stars do not necessarily have to appear from blocks or from Red Coins. Certain courses, such as [[Follow That Shell!]] and [[Piranha Plant Field]], have Super Stars bouncing around on their own for the player to collect.
 
The course [[Lakitu's Revenge]] has frequent Super Stars, such that the player can be invincible for most of the course.
 
There is a [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|Super Star Statue]] item in the Kingdom Builder mode, The [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|8-bit Super Star Trim]] and [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|8-bit Super Star Statue]] are other Kingdom Builder items that use the Super Star's appearance from ''Super Mario Bros.''

Super Stars reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', appearing quite often. Like in ''Super Mario Run'', in addition to traditionally granting characters temporary invincibility, the power-up also grants them the ability to attract coins. A Super Star's power can also be shared between characters in local play as well as in online play. Due to the absence of the traditional score system from previous ''Super Mario'' games, when a character defeats multiple enemies under the effects of a Super Star, ratings appear in the order of "Good", "Great", "Super", "Fantastic", "Excellent", "Incredible", and "Wonderful"; from then on, any further action that continues the chain awards the player a 1-Up.

Starmen also make several appearances throughout the three ''Mario'' animated cartoon series produced by [[DIC Entertainment]].

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', they do not grant invincibility; they instead can power-up Mario and Luigi into [[Fire Mario]] and Fire Luigi, giving them increased strength and the ability to shoot [[fireball]]s. The person wielding the Starman, often Mario, usually recites, "Starman, star bright, give me pasta power, give me pasta might!", before powering up. This power lasts until either a fair bit of time elapsed, or they are attacked by an enemy. However, [[Fire Flower]]s, along with other powerful artifacts such as [[magic doodad]]s, can also be used in lieu of Starmen in order to power-up. In "[[Toad Warriors]]", [[Toad]] manages to transform into the [[Toad Warrior]] by using a Starman, although in the next episode, "[[The Fire of Hercufleas]]", he transforms into [[Fire Mario|Super Toad]] by using a Fire Flower.

Starmen continue to make appearances into ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]''. In these appearances, they no longer follow the rules of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' Instead, they grant temporary invincibility, just like in the games. Unlike the Cape Feather and Fire Flower, both Mario and Luigi are seen using the Super Star in ''Super Mario World'': Luigi collects one to dispose of the [[Wiggler|Caterpillars]] in "[[Party Line]]", and Mario collects one from one of the "dizzy stars" that appear after he is knocked out by an [[evil dinosaur]] in the same episode. Mario also collects one when he escapes [[Bowser's Castle|Neon Castle]] with Yoshi in "[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]".

===''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''===
[[File:MKT Toad Star.jpg|thumb|Toad under the effects of a Star in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Stars also appear in the first installment of the ''Wario Land'' series, ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''. Here, [[Wario]] is able to use the Star for the first time. Besides the theme that plays while invincible, the Star's effects have not changed much from the previous games. The Star also makes Wario run even faster.
Stars appear in all [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' games]], serving as a rare item that only low-ranking drivers can get. Stars make the player who uses it invincible to all attacks and able to knock over items, course obstacles and other drivers, which in some games makes the player lose their current items. The player receives a speed boost increasing their average speed by 1/3 and is able to cross off-road terrain without losing any speed (''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' are exceptions, as the item doubles their speed in those games). The invincibility lasts for different time periods depending on the game: 6.13 seconds for ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', 10.13 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', 6.3 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', 7.6 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', 7.46 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', 7.42 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', 7.46 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', and 7.54 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Vini64|date=September 25, 2014|url=youtu.be/NaBBOO0GigE|title=Mario Kart History - Star|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 25, 2019}}</ref>


In some places, Stars can be obtained through special [[Item Box]]es. One is in [[DS DK Pass|DK Pass]], where there is an Item Box on top of a hill. If the player, in any position, touches said Item Box, the player may receive a Star, [[Triple Mushrooms]], [[Mushroom|a single Mushroom]], or, very rarely, a single [[Red Shell]]. The same rule applies for [[Chain Chomp Wheel]], except that Red Shells and Triple Mushrooms are absent.
===''Yoshi'' series===
====''Yoshi's Safari''====
Super Stars appear in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', dropped from Flying ? Blocks. When dropped from a yellow Flying ? Block, a Super Star's invincibility for Yoshi immediately takes effect, allowing him to defeat any enemies he touches for a limited time. The player also earns 2,000 bonus points. Super Stars can also be dropped from dark green Flying ? Blocks and are used for boss battles only, functioning the same way they do outside the battle. When not used at all, 5,000 bonus points are added to the player's score.


Starting in ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'', the player can steal Balloons and [[Shine Sprite]]s in [[Battle Mode]] when hitting people with the Star in the applicable modes. From ''Mario Kart Wii'' onwards, due to the introduction of Coin Runners, Coins can also be stolen in the same way.  
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
[[File:Super_Star.PNG|frame|right]]
Super Stars appear as rare power-ups in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. In this appearance, it turns [[Yoshi]] into a giant [[Yoshi's Egg]], and [[Baby Mario]] into [[Superstar Mario]], a form which highly resembles [[Cape Mario]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.


The Star is also the emblem of the [[Star Cup]] in every ''Mario Kart'' game to date. Also, it is obtainable as an uncommon item from 2nd to 8th place in ''Mario Kart 64'', 6th to 8th place in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' (approximate positions used due to there not being a known item probability table for ''Double Dash!!'' or ''Super Circuit''), and 5th to 8th place in ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart 7'', as well as 7th to 12th place in ''Mario Kart Wii''.
====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
The Super Star reappears in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', having the same effects as in the previous game. They only appear in the levels [[Baby Mario and Baby Peach: Dynamic Duo]], [[Castle of Big Guy the Stilted]], [[Superhard Acrobatics]] and [[Yoshi's Island Easter Eggs]].


In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the [[Sugarscoot]] has a star emblem on its spare tire on the rear. In this game, when characters acquire this item, their voice will echo, with the exception of [[Rosalina]], whose voice will echo even more, as her voice already echoes. Some of the [[leaf pile]]s on [[Wii Maple Treeway|Maple Treeway]], including in the section with the [[Wiggler]]s and the section before the [[Starting Grid|finish line]] also have the potential to drop Stars when driven through. Players under the effects of the [[Mega Mushroom]] can get hit by this item. Up to three Stars can be in play at a time.
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
{{main|Yoshi Star}}
A similar item, the Yoshi Star, appears in two colors in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''; they both turn Yoshi into [[Super Yoshi (form)|Super Yoshi]]. The yellow ones make him invincible and let him run on walls and ceilings, while the red ones let him blast through enemies and walls for a brief time. Both forms can be prolonged by grabbing more Yoshi Stars of the same color.


In ''Mario Kart 7'', all courses that have obstacles that drop items when broken (like the [[jar]]s on [[3DS Shy Guy Bazaar|Shy Guy Bazaar]]) have the potential to drop a Star when they do so.  
===''Mario's Time Machine''===
In ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', several Super Stars appear as statues in [[Bowser's Museum]]. Mario can use them as platforms to reach some doors.


[[File:MKAGPDX Super Star.png|thumb|A Star in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'']]

In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', the Super Star appears again.

Stars appear in all [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' games]], serving as a rare item that only low-ranking drivers can get. Stars make the player who uses it invincible to all attacks and able to knock over items, course obstacles and other drivers, making them lose their current items (prior to ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''). The player receives a speed boost increasing their average speed by 1/3 and is able to cross off-road terrain without losing any speed (''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' are exceptions, as the item doubles their speed in those games). The invincibility lasts for different time periods depending on the game: 6.13 seconds for ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', 10.13 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', 6.3 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', 7.6 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', 7.46 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', 7.42 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', 7.46 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', and 7.54 seconds for ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.<ref>Vini64 (September 25, 2014). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaBBOO0GigE Mario Kart History - Star]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved August 25, 2019.</ref>


In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the [[Princess Peach]] statue in [[Toad Harbor]] can be seen holding a Star in its raised right hand. Additionally, in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', if the player has purchased the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC or currently has a [[Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]] membership, a small icon of a Star can be seen next to the version number on the game's title screen.
In some places, Stars can be obtained through special [[Item Box]]es. One is in [[DK Pass]], where there is an Item Box on top of a hill. If the player, in any position, touches said Item Box, the player may receive a Star, [[Mushroom|Triple Mushrooms]], [[Mushroom|a single Mushroom]], or, very rarely, a single [[Red Shell]]. The same rule applies for [[Chain Chomp Wheel]], except that Red Shells and Triple Mushrooms are absent.


Unlike in previous installments, Stars themselves do not appear as collectible Item Box items in regular single-player races in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Instead, getting a [[Frenzy]] has the same effects as using a Star, with the same invincibility music from ''Mario Kart 8'' playing, while its icon appears on-screen if another racer behind the player is in Frenzy mode. Stars found in Item Boxes appear in multiplayer mode when the rules have less than three item slots, as frenzies are unobtainable then. Stars are also found in certain challenges, first found in the Break Item Boxes challenge of the [[List of tours in Mario Kart Tour#Tokyo Tour|Tokyo Tour]]'s [[Wendy Cup]]. Once obtained, Stars can be activated by tapping the screen, making the player temporarily invincible. Additionally, if the player is about to receive a High-End driver from a [[Pipe Cannon|pipe]], a Star appears briefly on-screen.
The Star is also the emblem of the [[Star Cup]] in every ''Mario Kart'' game to date.

In this appearance, it turns [[Yoshi]] into a giant [[Yoshi's Egg]], and [[Baby Mario]] into [[Superstar Mario]], a form which highly resembles [[Cape Mario]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. In ''Yoshi's Island DS'', Super Stars only appear in the levels [[Baby Mario and Baby Peach: Dynamic Duo]], [[Castle of Big Guy the Stilted]], [[Superhard Acrobatics!]] and [[Yoshi's Island Easter Eggs]].

Stars appear in every game of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. If players touch a Star, they will become invincible, allowing them to attack foes, without worrying about damage. However, unlike with the actual ''Mario'' games, players will not be able to hurt their opponents just by touching them. In the first two ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, the Super Star has a completely unique arrangement of its theme played, though from ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Super Stars have made varying appearances in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', Super Stars are obstacles appearing only on [[Peach's Castle Grounds]], where they also appear as tee markers. In ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', Super Stars appear on certain Star Courses, and whenever one is hit, the player becomes "invincible" against whatever their current ball lie is, and the ball acts as if it were on the optimum playing surface. In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', when Mario or Gold Mario gets a [[Birdie]] or better in this game, his post-hole animation involves him grabbing a Star and running while invincible and then striking a pose. Also, when he gets an [[Eagle]] in this game, he grabs a star, defeats a few enemies, and jumps. This item is also used as tee markers in the [[Mario's Star (golf course)|Mario's Star]] course. A clothing set, golf ball, and set of golf clubs are designed based on the item, and are available for Miis to use.

!American English Description
|desc=You may recognize these star-shaped items as they bounce across the stage. Picking one up will grant you a short period of invincibility. You can't wipe out enemies just by walking into them—like in Mario games—but you can still attack without fear. Your foes will be running scared!
!British English Description
|desc2=You'll see one of these little stars bouncing along the stage from time to time. Touch it to become invincible! (Well, for a while, at least.) Unfortunately, they don't work exactly the same way as they do in the Mario series, so you won't damage anyone just by walking into them you'll still need to put some effort in.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', running around a specific [[Candy Cane]] causes the invincibility theme to play in an old-fashioned jukebox style as it drops several [[Heart Point]]s.
*Super Stars and [[Power Star]]s only appear together in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', due to the latter being part of [[Rosalina]]'s Final Smash.
