Star Block (Super Paper Mario)

Star Blocks appear in Super Paper Mario. They serve as goals for every chapter in the game, except for chapter 8-4. After one of the four heroes hits one of these blocks, the chapter will end, and the player will have the option to save. After that, there is a short dialogue and/or cutscene, then the next chapter will start (or, in the case of any chapter-4 levels, the player will return to Flipside).

Trivia

 * The seven stars that surround the block may be a reference to the Star Pieces from Super Mario RPG or the Crystal Stars from Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door.
