 Multiple magenta Sugarstars | |
| First appearance | Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023) |
Sugarstars are shiny, geometric enemies from Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are first introduced in the level The Sugarstar Trial: Across the Night Sky, a level where many of them appear. They fly around in a circular pattern, often forming together to make a wave-like motion. They come in both magenta and green, with magenta Sugarstars being speedy while green ones are much slower. When one gets hit, instead of being defeated entirely, it regenerates its crystal body after a few seconds. They also emit a sparkly trail as they soar.
The design and Japanese name of the Sugarstars are based on the Japanese sugar candy konpeitō, much like Star Bits.
