'''Stars''' (a.k.a. '''Super Stars''', '''Starmen''', or '''Invincibility Stars''') are items used in many [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' games]], including the ''Super Mario'' series and the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. If Mario gets a Star, he will become [[Invincible Mario]]. The user becomes temporarily invulnerable to all damage, except to hazards that would normally be fatal, regardless of powerups (lava, pits, time-over, getting crushed, etc). Any projectiles or enemies that come into contact with the user of the Star while it is activated are either destroyed, damaged, or spun out (depending on the type of enemy and what game it is). The Star also increases the speed of the user substantially.
Line 12:
From ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and beyond in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' series (including several remakes), if the player collides and defeats eight enemies while invincible (five in ''Super Mario Land 2''), they will get a [[Extra Life|1-Up]]. As they continue rampaging through enemies, they will keep getting 1-Ups for each additional enemy steamrolled until the Star wears off ''completely'' (as in the player becomes vulnerable again). Touching another Star while already invincible will prolong the effect and allow the player to continue getting 1-Ups.
In most games where stars appear as items, once collected, a theme will play. This theme is just as famous as the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' theme, leading to remixes and remakes into ringtones and more.

Although traditional Stars did not appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', an item known as the [[Rainbow Star]] was introduced, with the same functions. When [[Mario]] uses the Rainbow Star, he becomes [[Rainbow Mario]].

Stars were used differently in ''[[Yoshi's Island]]'' when they were smiley faced, with blue shoes. They can be found by the player by defeating certain enemies and hitting some ? Clouds. They were used when [[Baby Mario]] fell off a Yoshi's back. The Stars would somehow make a bubble around the screaming infant, protecting him from the evil [[Toadies]] until the power of the Stars ran out. Every Star collected would add one second to the Star meter, and collecting 30 of them was essential to get a Perfect on a level. Also, "[[Super Stars]]" found only in a few levels (they looked like an ordinary Starman, but with no eyes) would seal the Yoshi in a huge egg, and Baby Mario would become invincible, and somehow sport a Cape, which allowed him to glide long distances. After a certain amount of time, the Yoshi would return to normal and Baby Mario once again would seat himself on his back, losing his cape and invulnerability. There are also packs of Stars that come in [[10 Point Star|10]] or [[20 Point Star|20]].

Stars appear in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] as well. If players touch a Star, they will become invincible, allowing them to attack foes, without worrying about damage. However, unlike with the actual Mario games, players will not be able to hurt their opponents just by touching them.

===Other Appearances===

Stars have made very few appearances in games such as the ''Mario'' [[RPG]] series. Perhaps their only appearance as an item was in

==Trivia==
▲[[Image:Stargalaxy.jpg|thumb|right|A beautiful new star in Super Mario Galaxy.]]
*In the 2000's and even today, fans often nicknamed the Star the '''Starman''' to make it sound more unique. This nickname was so widely popular that Nintendo brought it back as an official name.
*''Super Mario Land'' and ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' are the only games to have a completely different Starman theme. In ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', it is the chorus to the famous Can-Can music.
*In the French version, Stars are named "Super Etoile" (meaning Super Star). For unknown reasons, the ''Super Mario Galaxy's'' Power Stars are named Super Stars in the French version.
Line 175 ⟶ 178:
*If the player touches another item while invincible in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', it flies high into the air, coming back down a minute or less later.
