Gold Star

The Gold Star (not to be confused with Power Stars or Starmen) is the third Crystal Star in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It was supposedly found on the Glitz Pit Champ's Belt, but Grubba had the real one and used it to power his Strengthening Machine to turn him into Macho Grubba. The Gold Star was given to Mario by Jolene after defeating Macho Grubba and reuniting her with Prince Mush. This Crystal Star will teach Mario the move "Power Lift", which costs 3 SP. To use this move, you must aim a cursor at a 3x3 grid of stars. Hitting orange "up" arrows raises your attack, while blue "up" arrows raise your defense. Watch out for Poison Mushrooms.
