Star Hill

Star Hill is the large hill where all wishes are granted. When wishes are made, they appear on Star Hill in the form of Wish Stars. These stars are scattered along the dark blue ground. In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario, Mallow and Geno travel here for a Star Piece. This Star Piece is the only one that can be taken without a fight; it rests on the ground at the end of Star Hill, unguarded by anyone (most likely because the player fought in Booster's Tower and Marrymore). The Wish Stars can be examined to hear the wishes of the people who made them. Two of these wishes will come true over the course of the game, and if the wishes are examined after it comes true, the wish will be changed.

It has a strange appearance, being made of what appears to be dark blue rock and having the appearance of what seems to be a large fallen meteor. The hill is made of a large group of many smaller hills. It is impossible to traverse the entire hill simply by walking; the only way to access different areas is by lighting several of the unusual star-shaped flowers, causing a keyhole in a large white star in the area to grow. Going through the enlarged keyhole allows the enterer to travel to another area instantly, and the keyhole shrinks behind them.

The hill is quite large and its inhabitants include Geckos, Mastadooms, Mukumukus, Pulsars, and Sackits.

Since its first appearance, it has become a recurring element in subsequent RPG games. In Paper Mario, it was located just north of Toad Town, and it had a similar purpose. It was noticeably less dangerous to travel in this time around. In the English version, it was renamed Shooting Star Summit (check there for its role in that game).

It appears for a third time in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, under its original name. The Star Shrine is located near Star Hill in Partners in Time and the Hill is the location where the boss Commander Shroob is fought. It is quite a small level and enemies include Love Bubbles, Handfakes and Fly Guys. The "spirit of the Cobalt Star" (in reality Elder Princess Shroob) speaks to the Mario Bros. on top of the hill after Commander Shroob is defeated. A pipe to Star Hill can be found in the destroyed Toad Town near the time hole to Princess Peach's Castle Basement.

Shooting Star Summit


Shooting Star Summit is a mountain near Peach's Castle in Paper Mario. It provides a gorgeous and brilliant view of shooting stars. Stars of all different colors fall to the earth in this area and stick to the ground. Mario is advised in the beginning of the game by a Toad in Princess Toadstool's castle during her party to take Peach there on a date, for the view there is so beautiful. After Bowser takes Peach's castle to the sky and easily KOs Mario, Eldstar notifies Mario in a dream to head to the summit for counsel. Once he has awakened from his unconciousness state after many days and Goombario's family revives him, he heads to the summit. Once he arrives, all seven Star Spirits appear (using the last of their power to create the projection) and reveal to Mario he must rescue all of them to save Princess Peach. If he saves all seven of them, they will be able to use their power to help him reach Star Haven and stop Bowser. At the base of the hill lies Merluvlee and Merlow's house. It's said to be the closest place to Star Haven (which is somewhat awkward because Shooting Star Summit is on the ground, and it is closer to Star Haven even though there are areas in the game (like Cloudy Climb) that are higher). When Mario rescues all the Star Spirits, a portal to Star Way appears, leading towards Star Haven.

In the Japanese version of the game, its name is the same as that of Star Hill from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, meaning that the two mountains are one in the same. Ironically, the Japanese name for Star Hill in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time differs slightly from its other appearances - it is literally called "Star Hill" rather than "Falling Star Hill," but is presumed to be the same location.

Enemies

 * Magikoopa (Mini-Boss; only 1)

Area Tattles

 * This place feels strange and mysterious, doesn't it? If we go east from here, we'll eventually get to Shooting Star Summit.
 * This is Shooting Star Summit. Stars are really...uh, shooting. People say that this place, like no other, reaches up and embraces the sky.
 * This is the house of an amazingly gorgeous woman, the fortune-teller Merluvlee. Merlow, who collects Star Pieces, also lives here. This house pulses with psychic power. Can you feel it? It feels...weird. It feels like I'm floating on some kind of spiritual cushion.
