Stars appear in all [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' games]], serving as a rare item that only low-ranking drivers can get. Stars make the player who uses it invincible to all attacks and able to knock over items, course obstacles and other drivers, making them lose their current items. The player receives a speed boost and is able to cross off-road terrain without losing any speed ([[Super Mario Kart]] and [[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]] are exceptions), However, the Star can only last for seven seconds, then it wears off.

In some places, Stars can be obtained through special blocks. One is in [[DK Pass]], where there is a super item block on top of a hill. If the player, in any position, touches the item block, the player may receive a Star, [[Mushroom|Triple Mushrooms]], [[Mushroom|a single Mushroom]], or a single [[Red Shell]]. The same rule applies for [[Chain Chomp Wheel]], except that Red Shells and Triple Mushrooms are absent.

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' on the [[Shy Guy Bazaar]] course, there are [[Vase]]s. If the racers hit a Vase while driving at high speeds, the [[Vase]] will break and a Star may pop out for them to grab.

In all iterations of [[Rainbow Road (SNES)|<small>SNES</small> Rainbow Road]] (excluding ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''), [[Thwomp]]s have permanent invincibility. Like other invincible players, making contact with one will cause the player to tumble. In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', touching an invincible Thwomp will cause the player to spin out and lose four coins, but if the player is invincible as well, the collision would be normal.
