The [[level]]s have different colored [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s in them, and there is a Yoshi in the beginning of a few of the levels so the player can exit the stage with a new ride. From the Star World, one can also get to the [[Special Zone]].

To beat the Star World, the player needs to find the secret exit of each level.  Through finding Star Roads and clearing stages in the Star World, the player can take shortcuts in completing the game. The Star Roads link to [[Donut Plains]], the [[Vanilla Dome]], the [[Twin Bridges]], the [[Forest of Illusion]], and the [[Valley of Bowser]].

The Star World appeared in at least two episodes of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series, although here it was referred to as the '''Star Path'''. Unlike the game, the middle hill has a visible door, similar to the domes in [[Dome City]], and the course itself visibly has pipes and lacks the red course marks.

The Star Path first appeared in the episode "[[Send in the Clown]]" where it was used by Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] to transport themselves to [[Bowser's Castle|Neon Castle]]. In "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]", the Star Path is used by Mario and Princess Toadstool to escape from several cave-people (as well as from Luigi and Yoshi), who have been mutated into [[Chickadactyl]]-monsters.

According to the Japanese Shogakukan guide for the game ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'', Star World played an instrumental role in the history of [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]]. Five shooting stars (implied to be the Star Road) came from the light of Star World one night, and one of them knocked the top half of a [[Yoshi's Egg|fossilized egg]] to its lower half inhabited by living monsters, resulting in [[Yoshi]] hatching. These events also resulted in the resurrection of other [[dinosaur]]s, and the islands came to be known as [[Dinosaur Land]].<ref>「任天堂公式ガイドブック ヨッシーのたまご」 (''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook – Yoshi's Egg''), pages [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P7.jpg|7]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P8.jpg|8]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P9.jpg|9]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 10.jpg|10]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 11.jpg|11]].</ref>

*[[Superstar Road]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' is a throwback to the Star World. Not only is it star-shaped in appearance, but it is accessed from the main overworld through a star-shaped portal similar to a Star Road.
