In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', '''Star Road''' plays an integral role in the plot as the place where all [[wish]]es are turned into [[Wish Star]]s before being granted upon collision with [[Mushroom World|the world]]. During [[Smithy]]'s journey to [[Bowser's Keep]], his ship [[Exor]] crashed into Star Road, shattering it into seven [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Piece]]s. As wishes could not be granted until the road was repaired, a person identified only as "a higher authority" sent the star warrior [[Geno]] to collect the Star Pieces, thus repairing the road. In the end, Geno was able to fulfill his duty and Star Road was presumably left in order, although it did appear to be covered in stitches after the accident.

[[Star Haven]] is a [[Star (species)|Star]]-inhabited place out in space where [[Star Kids]] are raised to grant a person's wishes. The [[Star Spirits]] also form a council and use the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] to determine which wishes get granted.

The Star Road in the ending sequence of Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)
“Unless we find all the Star Pieces and fix the Star Road, we can kiss our dreams goodbye!”
Mallow, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

The Star Road is a place in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It plays an integral role in the plot as the place where all wishes are turned into Wish Stars before being granted upon collision with the world. During Smithy's journey to Bowser's Keep, Exor crashes into the Star Road, shattering it into seven Star Pieces. As wishes cannot be granted until the road is repaired, a person identified only as "a higher authority" sent the star warrior Geno (real name ♡ ♪ ! ?) to collect the Star Pieces, thus repairing the road. With the help of Mario and his other party members, Geno is able to fulfill his duty and the Star Road gets restored. When it is seen in Super Mario RPG's ending, the Star Road looks immensely similar to Super Mario World's Star World, being a giant floating star found high above clouds in a screen featuring the moon in the upper left.

Although it retains the same role in the Nintendo Switch remake, the Star Road was given a significant redesign, now being a large star with translucent rainbow patterns. The Star Road can be seen during the Triple Move called Star Riders. It was also indirectly alluded in the pre-battle cutscene with Culex 3D, where the latter attributed his gaining his new form as a result of Mario's party granting wishes to powerful people.
