Star Hill: Difference between revisions

'''Star Hill''' is the large hill where all wishes are granted. Its appearance and function differs in all three games it appears in. In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', it it made out of many smaller hills, which look like dark blue meteorites, and the wishes that were made actually appear on the hill, scattered around the ground as [[Wish Star]]s.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Star Hill is renamed '''Shooting Star Summit''' in the English version, although the name remains the same in Japanese (''Hoshi no Furu Oka'', meaning "Falling Star Hill"). In this game, the area is a mountain near [[Princess Peach's Castle|Peach's Castle]], and while stars are still found on the ground, they are not Wish Stars, but merely fallen shooting stars of various colours. As well as being lauded for its beautiful view (Mario is even advised by a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] to take Peach there on a date), ''Paper Mario''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Shooting Star Summit is notable for being the closest place to Star Haven, which can be accessed from the hill via the [[Star Way]].

''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' returns to using the name "Star Hill" (even in Japanese, with ''Sutā no Oka'' replacing the previous name), but its depiction of the mountain is more similar to ''Paper Mario'': rather than a conglomeration of meteorite-like hills, it is one peak made leading up to the realm of stars. However, it is unique in that it appears to be made of glittering stars themselves, and the realm is now called the [[Star Shrine]], rather than Star Haven.
