'''Tolstar''', the king of [[Stardust Fields]], is a large [[Spike]] who appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]]. His name likely derives from "toll star", as he forces people (such as Mario and Luigi) to pay a toll to get across the border in Stardust Fields, or a play on the Russian word толстый (tólstyj), meaning "fat." He is the first true major boss in the game.
