Starkichi (スタ吉, Sutakichi) is a Star that works, along other Stars, at the power-up factory in Star World, that appears in Super Mario-kun volume 5.
Bowser 3 takes over the Star World and kidnaps all the Stars, so that Mario will not have the power-ups they create, but Starkichi manages to escape and flees to Dinosaur Land, where he meets Mario, Luigi and Yoshi, who agree on helping him. They initially go looking for the Star World Yoshis, but they cannot find them, so they decide to go to the power-up factory, localized in the Star World central hill. After reaching the hill, now protected by a dome, the group finds the Stars and their leader and free them. Bowser 3 appears and sends the Super Mario Bros. 3 enemies on the heroes, who manage to defeat them. Starkichi helps then Mario by freezing two Fire Snakes with a power-up the Stars were working on, the Ice Flower. Bowser 3 decides to attack, but the Star World Yoshis returns and give Mario a bag of Super Mario Bros. 3 power-ups that turns him into Super Power-Up Mario. Mario defeats Bowser and destroys the dome (hurting himself in the process).
Trivia
- Starkichi's role almost mirrors Twink's role in Paper Mario in asking Mario to help him rescue the Stars' world leaders from Bowser (on that note, the mustachioed Star World leader does look like Eldstar).
