Mega Koopa extra door?[edit]
This article mentions that the Mega Koopa segment is only activated by going through the correct door, but isn't there only one door into that area?Pikmin theories (talk) 16:39, 24 March 2017 (EDT)
- I think it means that the segment can only be accessed by going through a certain door. It's worded weirdly. I've beat SPM almost six times and I've never found another door leading to that area.

Super Star?[edit]
OK, so, the Japanese name is Super Star, and it was from a game right in between when they were using "Starman" and "Super Star" in localization. It's also visually a Super Star in fauxels. And the form it makes—while functionally similar to Mega Mario and called "mega-size" in-game (with Mega Koopa's JP name instead basically calling it Pixel Koopa Troopa)—uses the Super Star theme, and it's not the first time an unusual-designed Super Star gave a different form of invincibility than usual (see Superstar Mario). So, essentially, should we just consider this to be the SPM version of Super Star? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:43, May 26, 2026 (UTC)
- Probably not, considering that more traditional looking Super Stars already appear elsewhere in the game as items. (Albeit, hidden away in an area where most players would likely never even notice/remember them.)
- At best, I'd say we could probably classify Mega Stars as a variant. Wandering Poplin (talk) 04:56, May 26, 2026 (UTC)
- Both cases where that appears it seems to function more similar to a POW Block (or, incidentally, a Lucky Star), and Forget Me Not actually does use the Mega Star graphic for it; in fact, considering the unused cards in that one, it looks as though the pixel design replaced the smoother design at some point in development for it. I wonder if those other minigames are relics of that, leftover due to the slightly different sprite resolution? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 11:06, May 26, 2026 (UTC)
