A Super Star generally appears as a five-pointed star with beady eyes, usually yellow in color. If the player gets a Star, they will become [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. The user becomes temporarily invulnerable to all damage, being able to defeat almost any enemy. However, hazards that would be fatal regardless of power-ups ([[lava]], [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]], [[pit]]s, [[Time Limit|time running out]], getting crushed, etc.) will still defeat the user, even with the Super Star. In addition, the [[splotchy goop]] in the ''Bowser's Fury'' mode in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' will cause the player to lose their invincibility if touched while also taking damage, as if they took damage without the power-up.<ref>Fracktail (February 22, 2021). [https://twitter.com/Fracktail/status/1363738193497972738 oh ok #SuperMario3DWorld #BowsersFury #NintendoSwitch]. ''Twitter''. Retrieved February 23, 2021.</ref> The projectiles or enemies that come into contact with the user of the Star while it is activated are destroyed, damaged, or knocked off the screen (depending on the type of enemy and what game it is). The Star also increases the speed of the user substantially (again, depending on the game). | ||
Starting with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if the player collides with and defeats eight enemies while invincible (five in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''), they will get an [[extra life]]. The [[point]] chain as of that game is 200 - 400 - 800 - 1,000 - 2,000 - 4,000 - 8,000 - 1UP - 1UP - 1UP... As the player continues defeating enemies, they will keep getting extra lives for each additional enemy defeated until the Star's power wears off and they are no longer invulnerable, with the exception of ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', where after the player gets an extra life, the chain of points restarts (...4,000 - 8,000 - 1UP - 200 - 400...). Touching another Star while already invincible will prolong the effect and allow the player to continue getting more lives. | Starting with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if the player collides with and defeats eight enemies while invincible (five in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''), they will get an [[extra life]].

The Starman is a very rare item, only found in some levels. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] gets it, they will turn invincible, allowing them to destroy enemies and go through hazards without getting hurt (though they will still lose a life if they fall in a [[pit]] or run out of time). However, the star's power is only temporary, and it will disappear after a certain amount of time. Invincibility is indicated by Mario's flashing sprites and the Starman theme which replaces the current soundtrack. This is the first ''Super Mario'' power-up to have eyes. | ||

Starmen are more common in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Just like the preceding games, they grant Mario invincibility, but in addition, Mario can run slightly faster than normal. However, unlike most other games, the star's power lasts shorter than normal. If Mario jumps when he is not [[Small Mario]], he does flips in the air. This game also introduces '''Continuous Starman'''<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario All-Stars'' Player's Guide. Page 113.</ref><ref>Peterson, Erik.

Starmen also appear as icons in the [[goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]] roulette, which must be hit in order to clear a level. If the player gets three Stars (easily done by running at max speed and jumping to the goal at a 45° angle), they receive five [[extra lives]]. | Starmen also appear as icons in the [[goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]] roulette, which must be hit in order to clear a level.

Super Stars reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', appearing quite often. Like in ''Super Mario Run'', in addition to traditionally granting characters temporary invincibility, the power-up also grants them the ability to attract coins. A Super Star's power can also be shared between characters in local play as well as in online play. Due to the absence of the traditional score system from previous ''Super Mario'' games, when a character defeats multiple enemies under the effects of a Super Star, ratings appear in the order of "Good", "Great", "Super", "Fantastic", "Excellent", "Incredible", and "Wonderful"; from then on, any further action that continues the chain awards the player a 1-Up. | |||

Unlike in previous installments, Stars themselves do not appear as collectible Item Box items in regular single-player races in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Instead, getting a [[Frenzy]] has the same effects as using a Star, with the same invincibility music from ''Mario Kart 8'' playing, while its icon appears on-screen if another racer behind the player is in Frenzy mode. Stars found in Item Boxes appear in multiplayer mode when the rules have less than three item slots, as frenzies are unobtainable then. Stars are also found in certain challenges, first found in the Break Item Boxes challenge of the [[List of tours in Mario Kart Tour#Tokyo Tour|Tokyo Tour]]'s [[Wendy Cup]]. Once obtained, Stars can be activated by tapping the screen, making the player temporarily invincible. Additionally, if the player is about to receive a High-End driver from a [[Pipe Cannon|pipe]], a Star appears briefly on-screen. | Unlike in previous installments, Stars themselves do not appear as collectible Item Box items in regular single-player races in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

Though the Super Star does not appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', there is a similar item, the [[Yoshi Star]], which is featured in two colors, and they both turn Yoshi into [[Super Yoshi (form)|Super Yoshi]].
