Starmen made their debut in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', first found in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. The Starman is a very rare item, only found in some levels. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] gets it, they will turn invincible, allowing them to destroy enemies and go through hazards without getting hurt (though they will still lose a life if they fall in a [[pit]] or run out of time). However, the star's power is only temporary, and it will disappear after a certain amount of time. Invincibility is indicated by Mario's flashing sprites and the Starman theme which replaces the current soundtrack. This is the first ''Super Mario'' power-up to have eyes.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the [[Princess Peach]] statue in [[Toad Harbor]] can be seen holding a Star in its raised right hand. Additionally, in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', if the player has purchased the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC or currently has a [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]] membership, a small icon of a Star can be seen next to the version number on the game's title screen.

Unlike in previous installments, Stars themselves do not appear as collectible Item Box items in regular single-player races in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Instead, getting a [[Frenzy]] has the same effects as using a Star, with the same invincibility music from ''Mario Kart 8'' playing, while its icon appears on-screen if another racer behind the player is in Frenzy mode. Stars found in Item Boxes appear in multiplayer mode when the rules have less than three item slots, as frenzies are unobtainable then. Stars are also found in certain challenges, first found in the Break Item Boxes challenge of the [[List of tours in Mario Kart Tour#Tokyo Tour|Tokyo Tour]]'s [[Wendy Cup]]. Once obtained, Stars can be activated by tapping the screen, making the player temporarily invincible. Additionally, if the player is about to receive a High-End driver from a [[Pipe Cannon|pipe]], a Star appears briefly on-screen.
