Starting with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if the player collides with and defeats eight enemies while invincible (five in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''), they will get an [[extra life]]. The [[point]] chain as of that game is 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, with the exception of ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', where after the player gets an extra life, the chain of points restarts (...4,000 - 8,000 - 1UP - 200 - 400...). Touching another Star while already invincible will prolong the effect and allow the player to continue getting more lives.

[[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 ten 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. 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]].

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.

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.

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 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.''

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]]".

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.

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.

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.

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.
