A '''Mega Star''' is a [[Super Star]]-like object found in [[? Block]]s in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Upon collecting a Mega Star, the player's character becomes an enlarged 8-bit sprite from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game (although in the [[List of Super Paper Mario pre-release and unused content|early version of ''Super Paper Mario'']], Mario's sprite was recolored to resemble his modern appearance). The background music will also instantly change to a remix of [[Super Star (theme)|the original Super Star theme]] known as "An Unrivaled Battle", according to [[The InterNed]]. While the Mega Star is in effect, the player may smash through blocks, [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, and enemies, similar to the [[Mega Mushroom]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''


In [[The Bitlands|Chapter 3-1]], there is an optional segment involving a [[Koopa Troopa]] grabbing a Mega Star from a block and becoming its original 8-bit sprite in giant form, known as [[Mega Koopa]]. The heroes can find another Mega Star nearby and run into the Koopa to destroy it, although getting the star is not necessary, as the player can still attack the Mega Koopa just as they would a normal enemy by using the heroes' normal attacks, [[Pixl]]s, or attack items such as a [[Fire Burst]].
A '''Mega Star''' is a [[Starman]]-like object found in [[? Blocks]] in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Upon collecting a Mega Star, the player's character is drawn into their 8-bit sprites from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game, in [[Mega Mario|massive proportions]]. The background music will also instantly change to a remix of the original Starman jingle. While the Mega Star is in effect, the player may smash through blocks, pipes, and enemies, similar to the [[Mega Mushroom]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''


[[Mega Mario]] and Mega Luigi are both short and fast, while Mega Peach and Mega Bowser are both tall and slow. Mega Stars appear in Chapter [[Lineland Road|1-1]], [[Gloam Valley|2-1]], 3-1, [[Planet Blobule|4-2]], [[Floro Caverns|5-3]], and [[The Overthere|7-4]]. Three Mega Stars appear in 3-1.
In Level 3-1, a [[Koopa Troopa]] grabs a Mega Star from a block and becomes a giant 8-bit Troopa called [[Mega Koopa]]. [[Mario]] or [[Peach]] (maybe even [[Bowser]] or [[Luigi]] if the player revisits this area later in the game) can find another Mega Star nearby and run into the Koopa to destroy it. Although, getting the star isn't necessary, the player can use [[Thoreau]] to grab the giant Koopa and have his plans backfire by throwing him into your enemies (his allies), use Bowser's fire breath, use [[Boomer]] and blow him up, or use attack items such as a [[Fire Burst]].  


Mega Stars also appear in the [[Flipside Arcade]] game "[[Forget Me Not]]". When found after flipping a card, each Mega Star gives the player points and also temporarily flips all the covered cards over to reveal what each card shows.

In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]] of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', "Mega Star" is an incorrect answer for question 3 of [[the Creepy Steeple Boo]]'s fourth quiz.
