Star Rod

Definitely taken from the Kirby series, Bowser steals the Star Rod from Star Haven at the beginning of Paper Mario. He uses it to grant all his wishes. Mario must save the 7 Star Spirits to deactivate the power of the Star Rod.

It was later seen in Supser Smash Brothers Melee, as an attack item.

The Star Rod will also be Boo and Dry Bones' special orb in Mario Party 7. What it does is not yet confirmed.
