Crystal Stars



The Crystal Stars are the 7 objects Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, Yoshi, Vivian, Bobbery and possibly Ms. Mowz collect in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They open the Thousand-Year Door to the Palace of Shadow and will teach Mario 7 special moves. They consist of the Diamond Star, the Emerald Star, the Gold Star, the Ruby Star, the Sapphire Star, the Garnet Star and the Crystal Star.

The stars were created by the Shadow Queen to hold the essence of the heavens, but the four heroes collected them and used their power against the Queen. One of the castles built to hold the stars is Hooktail Castle.

The stars bear much resemblance to the Seven Stars in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Trivia

 * All the types of gems and jewels that the stars are based on are also the names of some Pokémon games except for the Garnet Star. However, the Diamond and Emerald stars shared their names with Pokemon games before Pokemon Emerald (released in May 2005) and Pokemon Diamond (released in April 2007 with Pokemon Pearl) came out.
