The '''Big Paint Stars''' are the source of [[paint|color]] that appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' and are housed at the [[Prisma Fountain]]. They are larger versions of the [[Mini Paint Star]]s. There are six of them in the game, each one being a different color (specifically the primary colors followed by the secondary colors): red, yellow, blue, purple, orange and green. Each one is guarded by one of the [[Koopalings]] (except for [[Roy]]). Collecting all six restores color to [[Prism Island]] and allows Mario and Huey to go to [[Rainbow Road]] to face [[Black Bowser]] and rescue [[Princess Peach]] at [[Black Bowser's Castle]]. Big Paint Stars resemble [[Grand Star]]s from the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' games and [[Shine Sprite]]s from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.  

[[Bowser]], possessed by the black paint, threw them far away from [[Port Prisma]]. Each Big Paint Star, when rescued from the Koopalings, repaints big areas which cannot be painted by Mario's hammer normally and tells a little part of the game's story, although disordered. Finally, when the last one is obtained, it reveals what actually happened to Bowser. The red star repaints the Scarlet Gate in [[Sunglow Ridge]], the yellow star repaints a giant coin in [[Mondo Woods]], the blue star repaints the entire sea in [[Violet Passage]], the purple star repaints the gigantic sinkhole in [[Mustard Café]] along with the entire rest of the world map's sea, the orange star repaints the [[Draggadon]] fossil in [[Marmalade Valley]], which results in it transforming into the real monster, and the green star repaints [[Luigi]]'s kart somewhere else on Prism Island.
