Editing Super Star

{{articleIcons|allgames=y}}

The '''Super Star''' ({{ja|スーパースター|Sūpā Sutā}}, ''Super Star''), known as the '''Starman''' prior to the PAL release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and the NTSC release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', is an item from the {{uv|Mario}} series.

The Super Star made its debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and has become a recurring item in later ''Mario'' games. The Super Star allowed the player to become temporary invincible and easily defeat enemies simply by touching them, giving them a multicolored, sparkling appearance. It is also accompanied by a special musical theme that plays over the level's theme music.

The Starman debuts as a duration and attachment item.

The Super Star bounces on the field and off platforms or walls in large arcs, and can fall off the stage if not grabbed in time, mimicking its behavior in the {{uv|Mario}} games. The player's fighter will become invincible for ten seconds, but it doesn't damage the opponents when touched. Also, the player's fighter will be given a bright, sparkling appearance and is accompanied by the special music theme which completely replaces the stage music, causing it to reset after the Super Star's effect wears off. The music theme is given a slight remix.

The Starman returns as an item, reprising its behavior from ''Super Smash Bros.''

 

Unlike in the previous game, the Starman's theme music lowers the stage music's volume to the point that it becomes extremely difficult to hear over the layered theme.

|desc=This item makes you invulnerable to all attacks for a short period of time. The Starman bounces around and eventually tumbles out of the stage, but all you need to do is touch it to power up. It possessed similar powers in Super Mario Bros., except you could also harm enemies just by touching them while under its influence.

The Starman returns as an item, reprising its behavior from the previous games.

Unlike the previous games, the player's fighter who grabs the Starman is accompanied by the original theme music from ''Super Mario Bros.'' Also, the player's fighter under the Starman's effect can be hit with the [[Team Healer]].

===Trophy===

The Super Star appears as a trophy in both versions.

|desc-ntsc=You may recognize these star-shaped items as they bounce across the stage. Picking one up will grant you a short period of invincibility. You can't wipe out enemies just by walking into them—like in Mario games—but you can still attack without fear. Your foes will be running scared!

 

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==

 

The Super Star also appears as an Ace-class [[support spirit]].

In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], the Super Star is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. The Super Star spirit is located in the eastern cloud area of [[The Light Realm]] and serves as the penultimate battle before battling Galeem.

The Super Star Spirit Battle uses a {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Peach's Castle]] stage, which is based on the main hub area of ''Super Mario 64'' where the game's goal item, the Power Star, highly resembles the Super Star. During the battle, the Super Star appears as an item, while Rosalina & Luma becomes temporarily invincible when they reach high damage, referencing the invincibility effect of the Super Star. Also, all fighters become easy to launch, referencing the Super Star's ability to allow the player to easily defeat enemies by knocking them off-screen.

*Characters who have grabbed the Super Star can avoid the [[acid]] in [[Planet Zebes]] and [[Brinstar]], or the [[lava]] on [[Norfair]] which will result in a [[self-destruct]] since [[fighter]]s fall through it to the [[blast zone]].

*Bulborbs on [[Distant Planet]] are still able to trap characters invincible from a Super Star, though they won't be KO'd.

*When the music would normally stop for a moment (i.e. a certain move or event such as [[KO Uppercut]] or [[Finishing Touch]] hitting somebody) when the Star is in effect, that doesn't happen.

*If a player touches a Super Star while grabbed by an opponent, they will stay grabbed for the normal duration, but will be immune to pummels, and will take no damage from throws. They still take full knockback from throws however.

*In ''Ultimate'', the invincible theme doesn't loop correctly, as on every second repeat, the song audibly loops too early.

*In ''Ultimate,'' if a character is on their last stock in a Stamina Battle and is grabbed, becomes invincible from a Super Star while being grabbed, and then thrown with low enough HP that the throw would KO, they will trigger [[Special Zoom]] as if they were KO'd, but won't take any damage or be KO'd.

*The Super Star is one of three items that will change the music being played on the stage temporarily, the other two being the normal {{b|Hammer|item}} and the [[Golden Hammer]]. Incidentally, all three come from Mario and its sub-universes.
