Millennium Star

The Millennium Star is a silver, mustachioed star (who actually turns out to be a much different, white star enclosed within a rainbow-colored sphere) who will grant the wish of any player who passes his test in Mario Party 3. The Millennium Star fell on Peach's Garden while Mario and his friends were resting. Mario and his friends argued about who got the star, which resulted in Lakitu coming and suggesting that they have a contest to see who got the star.

In the end of the game, Tumble opens the top of his die cap to reveal another, much different Millennium Star; the one Mario and his friends had been trying to please was false.

It is unknown if Tumble actually was the Millennium Star; it is possible that he was merely acting as a living container for it. It is also possible, though, that Tumble and the Millennium Star are one and the same; it is worth noting that Tumble reappears in Mario Party Advance, thus causing more confusion as to whether Tumble and the Millennium Star are separate individuals. (Although nearly confirming that they are not, unless there are multiple Tumbles.)
