The '''Rainbow Star''' is a literal rainbow-colored [[Star]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It transforms [[Mario]] into [[Rainbow Mario]]. Much like [[Star|regular stars]], this star causes him to turn [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. When [[Mario]] uses the Star, he becomes a rainbow color and leaves a trail of light behind him whenever he runs. If Mario keeps running without stopping, he'll get [[Star Bit]]s. and be able to jump farther. As it wears off, the music, and [[Mario]]'s running, will get faster and faster until it ends. The Star might have been differently-colored to differentiate itself from normal stars which are, in 3D games beginning with [[Super Mario 64]], the items to collect to complete the game. The theme that plays after getting a Rainbow Star is a remixed version of the classic invincibility music.

The Rainbow Star is an item that appears in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2; it is the Super Mario Galaxy equivalent of the Super Star, used to prevent confusion between Super Stars and Power Stars. When collected, it transforms Mario into Rainbow Mario (or Luigi into Rainbow Luigi), causing him to become rainbow-colored and leave a trail of light behind him whenever he runs. In this form, he is invincible, releases Star Bits from damaging enemies, can break through certain objects and obstacles (such as Chomps and Boulders), can run faster, and can jump both farther and higher. As the power-up begins to wear off, the music, along with Mario's running speed, will get faster and faster until it wears off completely. The only mission in Super Mario Galaxy where a Rainbow Star is required is The Golden Chomp.
