Mario collecting 50 Bonus Stars
“You get Bonus Stars if you break the tape at the end of each area. If you collect 100 Bonus Stars, you can play a bonus game!”
—Message Block in Yoshi's Island 4, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2

Bonus Stars, also known as Goal Stars,[1] Gold Stars,[2] Goalpost Stars,[3] or simply Stars,[3] are special points in Super Mario World and its Game Boy Advance version. They are earned by touching the moving tape on a Giant Gate. The higher Mario or Luigi touches it, the more Bonus Stars he gets (from one to 30, then 40, then 50 at the top). Getting all 50 of a Giant Gate's Bonus Stars gives Mario or Luigi three 1-Ups. If Mario or Luigi does not touch the tape, he will get only a coin from the tape. Bonus Stars are saved from level to level, and earning 100 of them lets Mario or Luigi go to the bonus game, where he can earn 1-Up Mushrooms.

Bonus Stars appear in Super Mario World–themed levels in the Super Mario Maker games, though for visual effect only. As such, they are not counted to the score, though the "50" reward is replaced with a "1UP" reward.
