Big Paint Star

Template:Item-infobox The Big Paint Stars are the source of color that appears in Paper Mario: Color Splash. They are larger versions of the Mini Paint Stars. There are six of them in the game and each one is in a different color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Each one is guarded by a Koopaling (except for Roy). Collecting all six restores color to Prism Island and allows Mario and Huey to go to Rainbow Road to face Bowser at Black Bowser's Castle.

Bowser, possessed by the black paint, throws them far away from Port Prisma. Each Big Paint Star, when rescued from the Koopalings, repaints big areas which can't be painted by Mario's hammer normally and tells a little part of the game's story, although disordered. Finally, when the last one is obtained, it reveals what actually happened to Bowser.
