A Super Star generally appears as a five-pointed star with beady eyes, most consistently yellow in color. If the player gets a Star, they will become [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. The user becomes temporarily invulnerable to all damage, being able to defeat almost any enemy. However, hazards that would be fatal regardless of power-ups ([[lava]], [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]], [[pit]]s, [[Time Limit|time running out]], getting crushed, etc.) will still defeat the user, even with the Super Star. In addition, the [[splotchy goop]] in the ''Bowser's Fury'' mode in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' will cause the player to lose their invincibility if touched while also taking damage, as if they took damage without the power-up.<ref>Fracktail (February 22, 2021). [https://twitter.com/Fracktail/status/1363738193497972738 oh ok #SuperMario3DWorld #BowsersFury #NintendoSwitch]. ''Twitter''. Retrieved February 23, 2021.</ref> The projectiles or enemies that come into contact with the user of the Star while it is activated are destroyed, damaged, or knocked off the screen (depending on the type of enemy and what game it is). The Star also increases the speed of the user substantially (again, depending on the game). | ||
Starting with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if the player collides with and defeats eight enemies while invincible (five in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''), they will get an [[extra life]]. The [[point]] chain as of that game is 200 - 400 - 800 - 1,000 - 2,000 - 4,000 - 8,000 - 1UP - 1UP - 1UP... As the player continues defeating enemies, they will keep getting extra lives for each additional enemy defeated until the Star's power wears off and they are no longer invulnerable, with the exception of ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', where after the player gets an extra life, the chain of points restarts (...4,000 - 8,000 - 1UP - 200 - 400...). Touching another Star while already invincible will prolong the effect and allow the player to continue getting more lives. | |||

Starmen made their debut in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', first found in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. It is a very rare item, only found in some levels. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] gets it, they will turn invincible, allowing them to destroy enemies and go through hazards without getting hurt (though they will still lose a life if they fall in a [[pit]] or run out of time). However, the star's power is only temporary, and it will disappear after a certain amount of time. Invincibility is indicated by Mario's flashing sprites and the Starman theme which replaces the current soundtrack. This is the first ''Super Mario'' power-up to have eyes. | |||

Starmen return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', including ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' before it was redeveloped into this game. The only way to obtain is to collect five [[Cherry|cherries]] in a level. They have the exact same effect as in the previous games, though instead of bouncing, it will float upwards from the bottom of the screen in a zig-zag fashion after the cherries are collected. | |||

Starmen are more common in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Just like the preceding games, they grant Mario invincibility, but in addition, Mario can run slightly faster than normal. However, unlike most other games, the star's power lasts shorter than normal. If Mario jumps when he is not [[Small Mario]], he does flips in the air.

Blocks that normally contain [[coin]]s will contain additional stars instead if Mario is invincible when hitting them. If Mario is fast/efficient enough, he can complete large sections of a level while invincible. This is achievable on [[World 3-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Worlds 3-2]], [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|5-1]], [[World 5-7 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|5-7]], [[World 7-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|7-3]], and [[World 7-7 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|7-7]], and bar [[P-Wing]] use, it is the only way to complete the last of these levels. | |||
Starmen also appear as icons in the [[goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]] roulette, which must be hit in order to clear a level. If the player gets three Stars (easily done by running at max speed and jumping to the goal at a 45° angle), they receive five [[extra lives]]. | |||

Super Stars are very rare in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', just like the preceding games. Stars are mostly found in [[Roulette Block]]s. If the player manages to get a star while the items are getting changed, they will be able to defeat any enemy and become invincible to any attacks for a limited amount of time, as in past games. | Super Stars are very rare in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', just like the preceding games.

Starmen | Starmen make the player turn invincible in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', as always. They are much rarer in this game and sometimes appear in hidden ? Blocks. None of them can be found in Toad Houses, and there is no way to put one as a [[item storage|Stored Item]]. Mario and Luigi can run a lot faster when they are invincible, as the star's power does not last as long (only about 10 seconds). The star is the second rarest item (after the Blue Shell power-up) and can only be found in some levels, such as [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|Worlds 1-1]], [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|1-2]], [[World 4-6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|4-6]], [[World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)|4-Castle]], [[World 6-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|6-2]], [[World 7-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|7-3]], [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|8-4]], and [[World 8-7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|8-7]]. There is a new ability for the Starmen: a trail of [[Blue Coin]]s will appear behind the player, though it only happens in certain levels. | ||
====''Super Mario Galaxy'' | The Starman is also available in the Mario vs. Luigi mode, potentially appearing when a brother collects eight [[coin]]s.

Stars make the player who uses it invincible to all attacks and able to knock over items, course obstacles and other drivers, which in some games makes the player lose their current items.
