Super Stars are generally depicted as five-pointed stars with beady eyes, usually yellow in color. If the player gets a Star, they will become [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. The user becomes temporarily invulnerable to all damage, being able to defeat almost any enemy. However, hazards that would be fatal regardless of power-ups ([[lava]], [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]], [[pit]]s, [[Time Limit|time running out]], getting crushed, etc.) will still defeat the user, even with the Super Star. In addition, the [[splotchy goop]] in the ''Bowser's Fury'' mode in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' will cause the player to lose their invincibility if touched while also taking damage, as if they took damage without the power-up.<ref>{{cite|author=Fracktail|date=February 22, 2021|url=x.com/Fracktail/status/1363738193497972738|title=oh ok #SuperMario3DWorld #BowsersFury #NintendoSwitch|publisher=X|accessdate=February 23, 2021|language=en}}</ref> The projectiles or enemies that come into contact with the user of the Star while it is activated are destroyed, damaged, or knocked off the screen (depending on the type of enemy and what game it is). The Star also increases the speed of the user substantially (again, depending on the game). In most games since ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if the player collides with and defeats a sequence of enemies while invincible, they will get an [[extra life]]. The [[point]] chain is usually 200 - 400 - 800 - 1,000 - 2,000 - 4,000 - 8,000 - 1UP - 1UP - 1UP... As the player continues defeating enemies, they will keep getting extra lives for each additional enemy defeated until the Star's power wears off and they are no longer invulnerable. Touching another Star while already invincible will prolong the effect and allow the player to continue getting more lives.

====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====

[[File:SMB Star.jpg|thumb|100px|left|A Starman's original design for ''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.

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.

 

 

[[File:Star.png|thumb|Star artwork for ''New Super Mario Bros.'', utilizing the ''Super Mario World'' and retaining it in all subsequent appearances]]

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.

====''Super Mario Galaxy'' / ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====

{{main|Rainbow Star}}

Although Super Stars do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Rainbow Stars share the same function and also play the invincibility theme while under the effect of one.

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''.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====

Super Stars reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', functioning and behaving as in the previous 2D ''Super Mario'' games. Also, the player is able to store a Star in the [[item storage]], but it is only possible in the [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]] Toad House (by obtaining all the [[Star Coin]]s and the [[Moon Coin]]s).

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====

Super Stars return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', functioning the same way they did in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====

[[File:Super Star Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|thumb|A Super Star from ''Super Mario 3D World'']]

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.

In the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign of ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', like all the other power-ups, Super Stars can be obtained randomly by collecting 100 coins.

====''Super Mario Maker'' series====

In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', Super Stars are one of the various course elements players are allowed to place in their levels. They act as they do in other ''Super Mario'' titles, providing the player with invincibility that defeats enemies on contact for a limited period of time.

====''Super Mario Run''====

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 appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 35]]'' and worked exactly like in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' The Item Roulette had a chance of granting the player a Super Star.

 

 

[[File:SMBSSStarman.jpg|thumb|left|A Starman from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode, "[[The Trojan Koopa]]"]]

 

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]]".

[[File:MKT Toad Star.jpg|thumb|Toad under the effects of a Star in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]

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's Safari''===

 

===''Mario's Time Machine''===

In ''[[Mario's Time Machine (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Mario's Time Machine]]'', several Super Stars appear as statues in [[Bowser's Museum]]. Mario can use them as platforms to reach some doors.

 

===''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''===

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.

 

Super Stars appear as rare power-ups in the first two installments of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]: ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (as well as its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]) and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. 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]].

 

Though the Super Star does not appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', a similar item named [[Yoshi Star]] appears. Yoshi Stars are featured in two colors, and 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.

 

 

Stars appear as an item in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', where Mario can occasionally find the rare item and use it to defeat enemies on the overworld without engaging a battle. Doing this will still earn Mario [[Experience Point|experience point]]s. The [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] also uses the star in the [[Triple Move]] [[Starry Shell Spike]].

 

===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===

[[File:Super Star Brawl artwork.png|thumb|150px|left|A Super Star in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'']]

[[File:Starman SSB4 Wii U.jpg|thumb|200px|A Super Star in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'']]

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 ''Super 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. Brawl]]'' onwards, the item uses its theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' instead.

 

A Star also appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', as well as an ACE-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' granting the fighter temporary invincibility if they land the first attack in battle.

{{br}}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====

Only one Super Star appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' in the form of a [[Papercraft]] item. Before the fight with Papercraft King Boo, the trio upon Papercraft Yoshi can find a floating Super Star and by using its tongue, they can pull it in and use it. While under the effects of the Super Star, Papercraft Yoshi can defeat enemies instantly, but it automatically wears off after all nearby Papercraft Goombas are defeated. The ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' version of the invincibility theme plays while in use. The Super Star does not reappear in the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Ring]] version of the fight. In addition, the Super Star is the icon of the Star Rank once more.

 

 

 

 

 

[[File:StarDash.png|thumb|200px|[[Mario]] under the Star's effect in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'']]

Since the item slot was dismissed in the Toy Field of ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', it appears in a minigame called [[Graffiti Runner]]. In this game, the star is one of the many power-ups found inside a treasure chest, in which the player must use the tackle button to open up. If the player acquires the star, they are invincible and impervious to almost all forms of attack, and are able to knock anyone else aside. However, the player is not fully invincible and will still get stunned by an earthquake caused by a larger player or a [[Chain Chomp]]. It also appeared in the [[Blooper Baserun]] minigame and shares the same thing.

Super Stars in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' retain their usual role of making the character invincible and has two theme songs. They also increase the speed and accuracy of the ball. In basketball and hockey, players cannot intercept the ball/puck when it is thrown. In volleyball, opposing players who touch the ball will be heavily immobilized for a while. In dodgeball, opposing players will immediately lose some health when hit, regardless of if the ball touches the ground or not. Stars are rare in this game.

===''Mario Party'' series===

[[File:MPITSuperStar.jpg|thumb|left|A Star from ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'']]

Super Stars appear infrequently in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. They first appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', as usable items in [[Perilous Palace Path]], and using one doubles the total number of spaces the player gets to move with the [[Dice Block]]. In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', Super Stars appear in the [[Cheep Cheep Leap]] minigame, where players have to use them to defeat as many [[Cheep Cheep]]s as they can in thirty seconds. In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', a Super Star appears in Bowser Kaboom Squad after draining [[Impostor Bowser]]'s health bar, granting all eight players invincibility to finish off Impostor Bowser for good. In addition, Super Stars are an item in Koopathlon, with their effects depending on the minigame.

 

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===

In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' Super Stars appear as the symbol for [[Orb (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|Light Orbs]]. They are also used as Skill Items. They raise the Skill levels of teammates whose Skill levels are under level 4 such as both forms of [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Bob-omb]]s, and all types/forms of [[Lakitu]]s and [[Boo]]s. Super Stars can be obtained by opening up [[? Block]]s; winning them from the Lucky ? Blocks game at [[Toad House]]s; or from defeating Lakitus or Bob-ombs with a 10+ Combo attack.

 

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===

===''Luigi's Mansion 3''===

In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', a Super Star can be found in [[ScareScraper]] mode in some rooms. Once a Star is found, the player is granted temporary invincibility, runs faster, and can defeat ghosts without having to capture them with the [[Poltergust G-00]]. Stars can also appear in the [[ScreamPark#Coin Floating|Coin Floating]] minigame, where they will occasionally appear on the pool. When collected, it makes the player invincible to explosives for a short amount of time and allows the player to pop the other players' floaties to send them out of the pool.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===

{{quote|Bowser has found the Super Star and is headed toward our [[Mushroom Kingdom|kingdom]]. Its power will make him invincible!|Toad General|The Super Mario Bros. Movie}}

 

===Other appearances===

 

In ''[[Punch-Out!! (Wii)|Punch-Out!!]]'' for the [[Wii]], King Hippo wears underpants with a Super Star pattern.

 

 

 

 

In ''[[nwiki:Okaeri! Chibi-Robo!: Happy Richie Daisouji!|Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!]]'', a Super Star appears as a gem when sieving dirt. It is a very rare gem and is worth 5000 Moolah. When picked up, it plays the invincibility theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and will keep playing as long as it is held. It is also seen on a face-in-hole board that appears when every gem in the game is found.
