Star Shrine

Star Shrine

The Star Shrine (called the Star Temple in the Player's Guide) is an area accessed from the top of the past version of Star Hill, as seen in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi come here looking for the last two Cobalt Star Shards. The area consists of many star-shaped and colorful platforms floating in space. A living, star-shaped gate also resides here. The sky above the Star Shrine is gray in the map of the past Mushroom Kingdom but darkish blue in the map of the present Mushroom Kingdom.

The Elder Shrooboid, the boss of this area, turns Toadbert and Kylie Koopa into Shroob mushrooms here. Mario and company defeat the Elder Shrooboid and get the last two Cobalt Star Shards here.

Paper Mario's Star Haven is very similar to the Star Shrine in appearance, and is also reached by ascending Star Hill (or "Shooting Star Summit").

Beanholes

Every Beanhole contains one Bean.

Location	Image
First area: In the first scene, this beanhole is right behind the pipe.
First area: In the scene after the Star Temple gate, there are big yellow platforms. This beanhole is in the northwest corner of the second platform.
First area: In the same scene, this beanhole is on the last platform, southwest of the pipe.
Second area: After entering the second area, the player should head south and the beanhole will be visible on the left.
Second area: In the next scene, the player should keep going south until the beanhole is seen to the southwest of the huge pipe.
Second area: From the previous bean, the player should go northeast into the next scene. Here, the player should keep going northeast, until the beanhole is seen between 2 huge pipes, closer to the left one.
Second area: From the previous bean, the player should head southeast to the exit to the next scene. Here, the player should keep going southeast until another exit and another scene are reached. In this scene, the player should go west from the entrance and the beanhole will be seen in the southwest corner of the platform.
Third area: In the fourth scene, the player should head northwest until the Bros. reach the section with the little propellers. The player should use the Baby Cakes to get into that section. When the babies reach the first propeller, the player should head west and when the babies reach the third propeller, the player should head east. This guarantees that the babies reach the star-shaped hole with bars. The player should use Baby Drill to get inside. Once inside, the beanhole is seen right away on the right.
