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.

- 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.

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

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.

- 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.
