The '''Beacon''' is the large star-like reactor that powers the [[Comet Observatory]], including the space station's propulsion systems, life support, and its [[Dome]]s.  The Beacon begins as a small, dim star, but as [[Mario]] collects more [[Grand Star]]s, the star becomes larger and brighter, allowing access to more Domes.

There is also an invisible wall that prevents the player from touching the Beacon.
