The '''Boost Star''' is a purple [[Star]] introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. Unlike the regular Star, the Boost Star can be collected only in [[Boost Mode]]. The Boost Star appears only if the players using the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remotes]] step on ten [[Boost Block]]s that still have their symbols on them, thus filling the Star Meter. If the Star Meter on the top of the Boost Mode screen is filled, the Boost Star appears. If a player with the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|GamePad]] taps on the Boost Star, the player can for a short time instantly defeat enemies and break [[block]]s by tapping on them with the stylus or the finger (including [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, and even [[King Bill]]s, which can be defeated only with this method), like with the [[Super Star]].

This effect is similar to the [[Star|Starman's]].  


The Boost Star is purple on the GamePad. Onscreen, it cannot be activated by any character and is almost invisible, with a slight blue outline.
The Boost Star is purple on the Gamepad, and on the TV screen, it is blue.
