'''Ztars''', also known as '''Shadow Stars''' in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', '''Dark Stars''' in the North American version of ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', and '''Z-Stars''' in the PAL versions of ''Mario Party 7'', are black counterparts to [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s found exclusively within the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. They serve various functions from game to game but usually take away one Star from the player's possession. The Ztars' name comes from a corruption of "Star" and is spelled with a "z" instead of an "s." "Z" can be interpreted as a backwards "s," referencing how Ztars are meant to be the opposite of Stars. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', or ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', while Ztars do not appear, [[Mini Ztar]]s do instead, where they deduct from the current number of [[Mini Star]]s a player has. | '''Ztars''' (pronounced Za-tars), also known as '''Shadow Stars''' in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', '''Dark Stars''' in the North American version of ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', and '''Z-Stars''' in the PAL versions of ''Mario Party 7'', are black counterparts to [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s found exclusively within the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]].
