A Star Candy is a rare item found in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, appearing as an orange star-shaped piece of candy. In the original game, Star Candies had their five points spaced out evenly along their perimeter; the 3DS remake spaces out their points differently: the lower points are closer together while the left and right points are slightly higher and closer to the top point. They can be used by Mario and Luigi. In the original game, Bowser can also use them. This item restores 999 HP and SP, making it the strongest consumable item in the game. Dark Mechawfuls in the original game have a chance of dropping Star Candies. The item also has a chance to be rewarded if the player executes the Special Attack Mighty Meteor perfectly.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Bowser cannot use Star Candies. Cheesy Drumsticks are introduced that function as Bowser's equivalent to Star Candies.

Max Candies in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, and Mario & Luigi: Brothership function identically. In the former two, all Candy items have the same design as the Star Candy.
