Star Hill is a small area, and enemies that are found there are [[Love Bubble]]s, [[Handfake]]s and [[Fly Guy]]s. The "spirit of the [[Cobalt Star]]" (in reality, the [[Elder Princess Shroob]]) speaks to the Mario brothers and their younger selves on top of the hill after the [[Commander Shroob]] is battled and defeated there. A pipe to Star Hill can be found in the destroyed [[Toad Town]] near the [[time hole]] to the basement of Peach's Castle. | |||

Star Hill is a mystical hill in a few role-playing games of the Super Mario franchise. While its appearance has changed in each appearance so far, it is usually lauded for its beautiful and romantic view (Mario is even advised by a Toad to take Princess Peach there on a date). Star Hill is literally seen as the place where wishes come true.
History[edit]
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]
In its debut in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Star Hill is located in the southwest region of Mario's world and is made out of many smaller hills that look like dark-blue meteorites resembling the moon. Mario, Mallow, and Geno travel here for one of the seven Star Pieces. This Star Piece is the only one that can be taken without a fight; it rests on the ground at the end of Star Hill, the only Star Piece not guarded by a boss (likely because there were several bosses in Booster Tower and Marrymore).
It is impossible to traverse the entire hill simply by walking; the only way to access different areas is by lighting several of the unusual star-shaped flowers, causing a keyhole in a large star gate in the area to grow. Going through the enlarged keyhole allows the enterer to travel to another area instantly, and the keyhole shrinks behind them. The hopeful fallen stars that litter the area can be examined to hear the wishes of the people who made them. If Mario attempts to leave Star Hill before having found the Star Piece there, Geno will stop him, telling him to continue finding it.[1]
At the time of this game's events, Smithy's monsters have overrun the terrain. This includes Geckos, Mastadooms, Throphers, Pulsars, and Sackits.
Several of the wishes associated with the fallen stars on Star Hill are fulfilled during the events of the game. Returning to Star Hill and inspecting the stars again will prompt a different response in recognition of this.
In the Switch remake, Star Hill is the focus of the remake's new post-game content. While resting in Marrymore, Geno sees an odd light at Star Hill, and when Mario and his allies investigate, they find new wishing stars have fallen on the hill, colored pink. These wishes are from villains the group had previously fought and serve as clues to their identities. Once each of them is defeated again, their wishes change to reflect this.
Paper Mario[edit]
In Paper Mario, Star Hill is instead directly north of Peach's Castle, although it is renamed Shooting Star Summit in the English version. Unlike its previous appearance, the stars the mountain is named for are unable to be interacted with, and there are shooting stars seen of various colors that constantly scatter and fall harmlessly on its grounds. At the base of the hill lies Merluvlee and Merlow's house (referred to as "Merluvlee's Place" in the nearby notice board), where Mario can have his fortune told and trade Star Pieces for Badges. Princess Peach's Mysterious Treasure Chest can be found on the first floor of the house.
During the events of the storyline, Eldstar notifies Mario in a dream to head to the summit for counsel after Bowser takes Peach's castle to the sky and easily KOs Mario. Once he has awakened from his unconscious state after many days and Goombario's family revives him, he heads to the summit. Once he arrives, all seven Star Spirits appear (using the last of their power to create a projection) and reveal to Mario he must rescue all of them to save Princess Peach. On his way back down the mountain, Mario is introduced to Twink, who gives him the Lucky Star from Peach and teaches him how to use the Action Command. A Magikoopa then appears, having followed Twink to Mario, and must be defeated. Once the Star Spirits are physically gathered together later on, they use their power to open the Star Way, a celestial trail which leads to Star Haven above.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]
In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Star Hill is again shown to be north of Peach's Castle. It is only explored in the past, where it appears to be made of glittering stars and contains the Star Shrine accessed at the top.
Star Hill is a small area, and enemies that are found there are Love Bubbles, Handfakes and Fly Guys. The "spirit of the Cobalt Star" (in reality, the Elder Princess Shroob) speaks to the Mario brothers and their younger selves on top of the hill after the Commander Shroob is battled and defeated there. A pipe to Star Hill can be found in the destroyed Toad Town near the time hole to the basement of Peach's Castle.
