Star Medal

From the Super Mario Wiki

A Star Medal is an item found in Super Paper Mario. They can only be acquired by purchasing them at Howzit's shop at Flipside for fifty coins. When used, it gives the Player one thousand Points, which is immediately added to their score.

Gold Medals are a stronger variety of the Star Medal, which add ten thousand Points to the Player's score, but cost five-hundred coins each.

Using these is beneficial as points serve as the player's EXP points in the game.
