'''Monstar''' is a ghost-like monster from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and is a mini-boss who attacks those who enter [[Starborn Valley]].  When [[Mario]] and his friends first encounter it, Monstar appears tough to defeat, and Monstar is invulnerable to [[Star Spirit]] attacks and the [[Shooting Star (Paper Mario)|Shooting Star]] item. However, Monstar is nothing more than some [[Star Kid]]s trying to protect their home. When Monstar attacks, it makes a light show with special effects. However, the attack deals only 1 damage point. After attacking, in a shaky voice, it asks Mario if he is scared yet.

Monstar is a ghost-like monster from Paper Mario. This creature appears and ambushes Mario and his partners as they approach the outskirts of Starborn Valley, where it warns them to "turn away" and "go no further," lest they be "eaten." The player will then be presented with the choice to either flee the area or fight; choosing the latter option will initiate the battle. Its name is a pun on "monster", and "star" (due to being made out of Star Kids).

Despite an intimidating appearance, an attack consisting of a flurry of shooting stars, and Goombario's Tattle assuming that "it must be very powerful," Monstar has only 20 HP and an attack power of 1. Upon its defeat, the creature is revealed to be nothing more than a handful of Star Kids trying to protect the valley, who attempt to give one last warning before retreating.

This is the translation of the text from right to left: "I won't let you pass by here!" "Aah!" "It's a monster!"

During battle, Monstar is immune to the powers granted by the Star Spirits as well as the Shooting Star item, as it is itself a creature made from stars.

Monstar also appears in the 27th issue of Super Mario-kun. It terrifies and attacks Mario, Goombario, and Kooper, but when Mario defeats it, many Star Kids reveal themselves and escape, surprising Mario and his group.

Monstar
Monstar's star pattern in the Wii and Wii U releases of the game.
  • In the original Nintendo 64 version of the game, Monstar has a moving iridescent star pattern over it. However, most emulators, including the official Virtual Console version on the Wii and Wii U, incorrectly render this as a cloud of star-like particles surrounding it. The Nintendo Switch Online version partially corrects this by having the star pattern extend to the outline of Monstar's sprite.
