Star children

Star children are seven babies that possess, as Kamek states in Yoshi's Island DS, "an extraordinary amount of power." In the game, Bowser travels back in time to steal the stars from these children to take over the universe&mdash;the true intentions behind the kidnappings of all the children. However, few of the children captured by the Toadies turn out to be star children.

Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong, Baby Wario, and Baby Bowser are all captured, but Baby Mario and Baby Peach are rescued by the stork from the initial kidnapping, Baby Luigi hides at the time Bowser is checking the babies for stars, Baby Wario is dumped in a cave by a Toady after he throws an enormous tantrum, and Baby Bowser enrages Bowser into forcefully dismissing him from the castle. Baby Donkey Kong is not seen escaping, but he is seen later in Baby DK, the Jungle King!, prior to the rescue of Baby Luigi.

After Bowser, Baby Bowser, and Kamek are defeated, a newly hatched Baby Yoshi is revealed as the seventh and final star child during the credits.
