'''Invincible Mario''' is a form [[Mario]] assumes after using a [[Star]]. In this state, which only lasts for a few seconds, he is resistant to any [[Enemies|enemy]]. Additionally, he is able to defeat them by simply touching them. However, he is not protected from falling into a pit, lava, losing a life when the time runs out, etc. Invincible Mario, just like the Star, made his first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. Invincibility is depicted by a flashing, and, in later games, also color-changing character. Since this is not really a transformation, Mario can become invincible and maintain the form he had before, for example, if he is [[Fire Mario]] and gets a Star, he becomes invincible, but he is still in Fire form. Wario can also become invincible in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' using a Starman as well. In most games, when Mario, upon being touched by an enemy for example, changes his form to a less powerful one (usually [[Small Mario]]), he will be invulnerable for a few seconds as well. | '''Invincible Mario''' is a form [[Mario]] assumes after using a [[Star]].

In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, every driver could become invincible by collecting and using a Star, allowing them to make other drivers slide or tumble by touching them and make them drive faster. In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', there is a similar form, named [[Rainbow Mario]]. | In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, every driver could become invincible by collecting and using a Star, allowing them to make other drivers slide or tumble by touching them and make them drive faster.
