Talk:Rainbow Star

I don't know, but this info must be merged with the Star article. practically, Mario becomes invincible by that (similar to a "common" star), and is possible that "rainbow star" be a stylized starman. ¢oincoll€ctor

• It seems a fair bit different than a standard Star, as it increases Mario's speed, and causes any enemies that Mario destroys with it to break up into Star Pieces (or whatever they're called). If it just made Mario rainbow-colored and invincible with no other differences than standard Invicible Mario, then I could see the need for a merger. -- Booster

Don't normal Stars as well speed up Mario? At least they do in the Mario Kart series, and I think in Super Mario World... / Time Q 05:44, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

The arguement that it causes enemies to break up into star peices is no good, as nearly every enemy that mario beats turns into them. Peachycakes 3.14

There is also the point of the theme that usually is associated with Invincible Mario is used for Rainbow Mario

I agree with Time Q. Common Stars DO speed up Mario. Also, the "Star Pieces" are called Star Bits. MarioKid (Talk) 15:01, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Look what I found

When I was playing the Rainbow star can be found at the Good Egg Galaxy at some weird chain chomp planet inside of a pipe. When he become Rainbow Mario he can stop. Princess Butterfly 18:26, 13 November 2007 (EST)

It was rediculous to think you couldn't stop running while useing it just because of a video, you don't WANT to stop when you have a starman. Peachycakes 3.14

Merge

I say this page should be merged with Super Star. The only difference between the two is appearance, and that's only the colours, the actual shape remains identical. MarioKid (Talk) 17:59, 31 March 2016 (EDT)

I believe this has already been discussed. Not only does Mario's appearance change, his speed increases, giving him a temporary speed boost. They aren't quite the same. 19:32, 31 March 2016 (EDT)

But exactly HOW are they different? The Super Star also increases Mario's speed. MarioKid (Talk) 14:58, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

They're simply distinct items, that just so happen to have the same function. On the flipside, we split Power Star, the star from the Mario Party series, and Mario's Star, even though they're technically the same item, just with a completely different function (they probably should get mentioned in the article in some way or another however). I say its appearance and name alone is good enough for a split for this article. Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:18, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

The Super Star actually doesn't increase Mario's speed. You're probably confusing that players often continuously run while under the effects of the Super Star (or Starman or whatever you want to call it) as they don't have to worry about accidentally running into a Goomba or something. 16:36, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

In New Super Mario Bros. I know for a fact it increases your speed, having played Mario vs Luigi far too often. I also think it does that in New Super Mario Bros. Wii as well. I run a lot in those games, and there's definitely a difference in speed when under effects of the star. I don't think it applies to previous installments like Super Mario World, though.

Ah, my bad. I haven't played the NSMB series a lot recently. But I agree with you, BL. Name and appearance alone is reason enough for it own article. 19:52, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

I wouldn't say so. Also, I have seen myself, the Superstar DOES increase speed. And I'm not being confused, I run as if I'm invincible even when I'm not, and I can tell for a fact that the Superstar increases speed. Name and appearance, also, is not enough for something to warrant it's own article. MarioKid (Talk) 02:01, 13 April 2016 (EDT)

If you really want to merge this article, why don't you start a TPP? Though keep in mind that I will oppose your call to merge, as reasons stated above. Ray Trace^(T|C) 19:00, 13 April 2016 (EDT)
