The '''Crystal Stars''' are the seven stars [[Mario]], [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]], [[Yoshi (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Yoshi]], [[Vivian]], [[Admiral Bobbery]] and possibly [[Ms. Mowz]] collect in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They open [[the Thousand-Year Door]] to the [[Palace of Shadow]] and will teach Mario seven special moves. They consist of the [[Diamond Star]], the [[Emerald Star]], the [[Gold Star]], the [[Ruby Star]], the [[Sapphire Star]], the [[Garnet Star]] and the [[Crystal Star]].
[[File:Crystalstars.jpg|thumb|All seven Crystal Stars]]
The '''Crystal Stars''' (known as '''Star Crystals'''<ref>https://youtu.be/VDMEQrZ92IA?t=68</ref> in the demo disk of the game) are the seven magical relics [[Mario]] and his [[Party member|partners]] are after in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], and are the game's objectives. Upon collecting one, it will teach Mario a [[Star Power#Special Moves 2|Special Move]]. When all seven are collected and shown at the pedestal in [[Rogueport Underground]], they will open [[the Thousand-Year Door]] to the [[Palace of Shadow]].  


The stars were created by the [[Shadow Queen]] to hold the essence of the heavens, but the [[Black Chest Demon|four heroes]] collected them and used their power against the Queen. One of the castles built to hold the stars is [[Hooktail Castle]].
The stars were created by the [[Shadow Queen]] to hold the essence of the heavens and were placed in several locations to further expand her power.<ref>"''In order to increase its already formidable power the demon created Crystal Stars to hold the essence of the heavens. One of these stars was placed in each country to exert the demon's influence.''" - [[Grifty]]</ref> One of the castles built to hold the stars is [[Hooktail Castle]]. The [[List of implied characters#Four heroes|four heroes]] collected them and used their power against the Shadow Queen, but were cursed by her before the fight finished to be trapped in a black chest if they let go of the Crystal Stars. Knowing this, the heroes gave the Crystal Stars to others to protect.<ref>"''The four heroes thought they had sealed away the demon and all of its power, but the demon used a tiny opening before the seal was complete to curse them all. While holding the Crystal Stars, they felt nothing, but when they let them go a black box would appear to seal their souls within. The four heroes traveled the world, scattering the stars so the seal would remain. But the last four stars each carried the curse, which claimed each hero...''" - Grifty</ref>


[[Hooktail]] has the Diamond Star, the [[Puni Elder]] has the Emerald Star (Mario had to defeat [[Magnus]] to get it), [[Grubba]] has the Gold Star, [[Doopliss]] has the Ruby Star, [[Cortez]] has the Sapphire Star, [[Pennington]] has the Garnet Star in his home, and [[Magnus 2.0]] ([[Lord Crump]]) has the Crystal Star.
In the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' adaptation of ''The Thousand-Year Door'', the Crystal Stars are actual sentient characters, in a way similar to the [[Star Spirits]].


There are also two fake Crystal Stars, one on [[Rawk Hawk]]'s belt, and another held as a decoy in the [[Poshley Sanctum]].
The Crystal Stars also look similar to and have the same role as the [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]]s in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.

The stars bear much resemblance to the [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Seven Stars]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.

All seven Crystal Stars

The Crystal Stars (known as Star Crystals[1] in the demo disk of the game) are the seven magical relics Mario and his partners are after in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake, and are the game's objectives. Upon collecting one, it will teach Mario a Special Move. When all seven are collected and shown at the pedestal in Rogueport Underground, they will open the Thousand-Year Door to the Palace of Shadow.

The stars were created by the Shadow Queen to hold the essence of the heavens and were placed in several locations to further expand her power.[2] One of the castles built to hold the stars is Hooktail Castle. The four heroes collected them and used their power against the Shadow Queen, but were cursed by her before the fight finished to be trapped in a black chest if they let go of the Crystal Stars. Knowing this, the heroes gave the Crystal Stars to others to protect.[3]

In the Super Mario-kun adaptation of The Thousand-Year Door, the Crystal Stars are actual sentient characters, in a way similar to the Star Spirits.

The Crystal Stars also look similar to and have the same role as the Star Pieces in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
