Tolstar



Tolstar, the king of Stardust Fields, was a greedy trickster found in in the game Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. When Bowser got stuck in a cannon, Tolstar charged the brothers all of their Coins to keep the incident a secret. Mario offered up the coins, but they are all Mushroom Kingdom coins, and worth much less in the Beanbean Kingdom. Tolstar demanded 100 Beanbean Coins and the brothers had to search Stardust Fields for them. Upon collecting them, however, Tolstar still refused to set Bowser free and attacked Mario and Luigi.

In battle, he attacks by throwing spiked balls at Mario or Luigi, and even gives a hint by saying that remembering which hand he throws it with won't help them.

Tolstar makes a cameo appearance later in the game. He appears all beat-up to tell the guards that Mario and Luigi are the real Mario Bros.

Trivia

 * Tolstar may possibly be related to Spike, a similar-looking species of minor enemy that made its debut in Super Mario Bros. 3. They even share a similar attack pattern with Tolstar, coughing up spike balls and throwing them at Mario or Luigi.
 * Tolstar may not be evil, just incredibally greedy that he would go to any extent, such as Wario. This could be hinted due to the fact that he later helps verify the real Mario Bros.
 * The fact that Tolstar throws with both hands suggests that he is ambidexterous
