Star Rod (Mario Party 8)

File:Http://www.mariowiki.com/images/c/cb/Bowser with the star rod.jpg The Star Rod is a reward for becoming the superstar of the Star Carnival in Mario Party 8. After completing the game's Star Battle mode, MC Ballyhoo will award the player with not only a year's supply of Candy, but the Star Rod itself, which he had be carrying in Big Top all this time. However, Bowser swoops down and steals the rod, claiming he's the real Superstar. The player then chases Bowser to an area called Bowser's Warped Orbit, where it is recovered after a long battle. This form of the Star Rod has not yet shown any true power except to attack Bowser in Superstar Showdown.
