'''Skolar''' is one of the seven [[Star Spirits]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. His name a reference to the word "scholar", and, as his namesake suggests, he studies a lot. He has a brown mustache and wears glasses.

Skolar is the Star Spirit [[Tubba Blubba]] guards in [[Paper Mario#Chapter 3: The "Invincible" Tubba Blubba|Chapter 3: The "Invincible" Tubba Blubba]]. However, he escapes from [[Tubba Blubba's Castle]]. While searching for a way out of the [[Forever Forest]], he is captured by the [[Boo]]s of [[Boo Mansion]], led by [[Lady Bow]]. Bow promises to set Skolar free after Mario and his friends defeat Tubba Blubba.

When Mario defeats Tubba Blubba and Skolar is freed, he gives Mario the ability to use the [[Star Storm]] move. When Star Storm is used, Skolar appears in battle. He makes stars rain down on enemies from above, causing seven points of damage to each one. This is similar to the [[Shooting Star (item)|Shooting Star]]. The move costs two [[Star Power]]. He later appears along with the rest of the Star Spirits in [[Star Haven]] when they give Mario the [[Star Beam]].

His description is "''Like most scholars, he's always studying. His power, Star Storm, strikes all enemies.''"

In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Skolar is the guide of [[Super Duel Mode]]. He makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' as a collectible item.
