When Bowser battles Mario after usurping [[Peach's Castle]], he uses the Star Rod to make himself invincible so that Mario's attacks are ineffective against him, which in turn allows Bowser to easily defeat Mario. Subsequently, Bowser uses the Star Rod to summon a bolt of lightning to blast the now-unconscious Mario out of the castle. After being revived by the projections of the Star Spirits, [[Mario]] must embark on a quest to save each Star Spirit. | When Bowser battles Mario after usurping [[Peach's Castle]], he uses the Star Rod to make himself invincible so that Mario's attacks are ineffective against him, which in turn allows Bowser to easily defeat Mario.

In the first of three rounds of the final battle against Bowser, the Koopa King uses the Star Rod to power himself up. In this state, Bowser's attack powers are doubled. Mario can use [[Star Beam]], bestowed upon him after having rescued all seven Star Spirits, to counter the effects of the Star Rod. In the final two rounds, Bowser is aided by [[Kammy Koopa]], who activates the [[Power Platform]] to enhance his power so that when Bowser again uses the Star Rod to power himself up, | [[File:PM Starrod.png|frame|left]] | ||

In the final two rounds, Bowser is aided by [[Kammy Koopa]], who activates the [[Power Platform]] to enhance his power so that when Bowser again uses the Star Rod to power himself up, Star Beam is unable to negate its effects anymore. With help from the Star Spirits, [[Princess Peach]], and [[Twink]], Star Beam is upgraded to [[Peach Beam]], which is powerful enough to cancel the effects of the Star Rod once again. During the final battle, Bowser uses the Star Rod for the following moves: | ||
