Star (Yoshi's Island series)

Stars are are a common collectible in the Yoshi's Island games, found in certain defeated enemies and some Winged Clouds or by dropping an enemy or egg inside a Tulip. There are also packs of Stars that come in 10 or 20. Two of them also appear if a Yoshi Egg hits an enemy while it is red. These stars are used when Baby Mario falls off a Yoshi's back. The Stars creates a bubble around Baby Mario, protecting him from Toadies until it is depleted. Every Star collected adds one second to the Countdown Timer, maxing at 30.
