Star Points are special points Mario and Co. can accumulate in the games Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They are earned for battling and defeating enemies. If Mario gets 100 Star Points, he gets to level up his HP, FP or BP. However after Mario defeats a Boss all the enemies from the Boss's chapter and from the previous chapters will no longer gives Star Points, making harder for Mario to level up. Mario can automatically defeat enemies who no longer gives Star Points by using certain badgers. Regular enemies give very few Star Points, usually only one or two Star Points after defeated, while Bosses give much more Star Points.
