A Super Star generally appears as a five-pointed star with beady eyes, most consistently yellow in color. If the player gets a Star, they will become [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. The user becomes temporarily invulnerable to all damage, being able to defeat almost any enemy. However, hazards that would be fatal regardless of power-ups ([[lava]], [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]], [[pit]]s, [[Time Limit|time running out]], getting crushed, etc.) will still defeat the user, even with the Super Star. In addition, the [[splotchy goop]] in the ''Bowser's Fury'' mode in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' will cause the player to lose their invincibility if touched while also taking damage, as if they took damage without the power-up.<ref>Fracktail (February 22, 2021).

Retrieved February 23, 2021.</ref> The projectiles or enemies that come into contact with the user of the Star while it is activated are destroyed, damaged, or knocked off the screen (depending on the type of enemy and what game it is). The Star also increases the speed of the user substantially (again, depending on the game). | ||
Starting with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if the player collides with and defeats eight enemies while invincible (five in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''), they will get an [[extra life]]. The [[point]] chain as of that game is 200 - 400 - 800 - 1,000 - 2,000 - 4,000 - 8,000 - 1UP - 1UP - 1UP... As the player continues defeating enemies, they will keep getting extra lives for each additional enemy defeated until the Star's power wears off and they are no longer invulnerable, with the exception of ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', where after the player gets an extra life, the chain of points restarts (...4,000 - 8,000 - 1UP - 200 - 400...). Touching another Star while already invincible will prolong the effect and allow the player to continue getting more lives. | Starting with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if the player collides with and defeats eight enemies while invincible (five in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''), they will get an [[extra life]].
