Star Spirits

The Star Spirits consist of Eldstar, Mamar, Skolar, Muskular, Misstar, Klevar and Kalmar. They all appear in Paper Mario and are being held captive by Bowser's followers after Bowser and Kammy Koopa stole their precious Star Rod, because of their ignoring Bowser's selfish wishes.

After Mario, Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, Parakarry, Bow, Watt, Sushie and Lakilester rescued them, they gave them a special power called Star Beam, which is used to neutralize the effects of the Star Rod, and also a ship that they can use to travel to Bowser's Castle. During the final battle with Bowser, Star Beam is upgraded to Peach Beam when Twink helps out in Mario's battle against King Bowser. They also host Mario Party 5.
