List of Star Point amounts in Paper Mario

This page lists the amount of Star Points given by each enemy and boss in Paper Mario. When Mario defeats enemies, he is awarded with Star Points depending on his current level compared to the enemies he earns them from; as his level goes up, he earns less Star Points from them. If Mario's level matches or exceeds the enemy's, or reaches the maximum level, 27, he will not earn any Star Points from them at all.

Star Points are calculated by taking the enemy's level, subtracting Mario's current level, then diving by two. For instance, Jr. Troopa's level during his first encounter with Mario is 41, and Mario's level when fighting him is 1. By subtracting 1 from 41 (40), then diving by 2, Jr. Troopa will drop 20 Star Points when defeated.

If there are three enemies at the start of the battle, they will all drop 10% more Star Points. Likewise, if the battle stats with four enemies, they will drop 30% more.

Bowser
Bowser only drops Star Points in his second battle against Mario.

Crystal King
The Crystal King starts the battle with three Crystal Bits at his side. With the 1.3 x multiplier for having four enemies at the start of the battle, he drops more Star Points than any boss or enemy in the game, more than even Amazy Dayzees and Bowser. How many Star Points the Crystal King drops with the multiplier included is shown on the chart below.

Goomba King
The Goomba King starts the battle with Blue Goomba and Red Goomba, thus the 1.1 x multiplier for having three enemies at the start of the battle takes effect. How many Star Points he drops with the multiplier included is shown on the chart below.
