Star Hill

Template:Location-infobox Star Hill is the large hill where all wishes are granted. When wishes are made, they appear on Star Hill in the form of Wish Stars. These stars are scattered along the dark blue ground. In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario, Mallow and Geno travel here for a Star Piece. 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, unguarded by anyone (most likely because the player fought in Booster's Tower and Marrymore). The fallen stars can be examined to hear the wishes of the people who made them.

It has a strange appearance, being made of what appears to be dark blue rock and having the appearance of what seems to be a large fallen meteor. The hill is made of a large group of many smaller hills. 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 white star 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 hill is quite large and its inhabitants include Geckos, Mastadooms, Mukumukus, Pulsars, and Sackits.

Since its first appearance, it has become a recurring element in subsequent RPG games. In Paper Mario, it was located just north of Toad Town, and it had a similar purpose. It was noticeably less dangerous to travel in this time around. In the English version, it was renamed Shooting Star Summit (check there for its role in that game).

It appears for a third time in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, under its original name. The Star Shrine is located near Star Hill in Partners in Time and the Hill is the location where the boss Commander Shroob is fought. It is quite a small level and enemies include Love Bubbles, Handfakes and Fly Guys. The "spirit of the Cobalt Star" (in reality Elder Princess Shroob) speaks to the Mario Bros. on top of the hill after Commander Shroob is defeated. A pipe to Star Hill can be found in the destroyed Toad Town near the time hole to Princess Peach's Castle Basement.

Foreign Names

Template:Foreignname Template:Foreignname

Note: Star Hill has two names in Japanese. The first name is used in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and Paper Mario. The second name is seen in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The second name almost translates similarly, but is a bit different. Given it being a similar area, with a similar name, and located just north of Peach's castle like its second appearance, it is meant to be the same location even with its renaming.
