The '''Super Star''' ({{ja|スーパースター|Sūpā Sutā}}, ''Super Star''), known in earlier games as the '''Starman''', is an [[item]] in all games of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series.
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 first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and has been a recurring item ever since. When a player touches a Super Star, the player is temporarily invincible and is able to defeat enemies simply by touching them. Also, when the player is invincible, invincibility music is played. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the Super Star is used to turn a fighter invincible; however, the invincible fighter cannot deal damage to other fighters by simply touching them. In the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' series, the Super Star makes the {{s|mariowiki|kart}} invincible, improves their top speed and can drive over other karts. In addition, the Super Star serves as the logo for the {{s|mariowiki|Star Cup}}.

==General overview==
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
It 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. A character who touches the Super Star is granted [[invincibility]] for 10 seconds, though characters with a Super Star can still be pushed off the stage by moves with the [[push]] effect and be hit with the [[Team Healer]]. In the same way that the {{b|Hammer|item}} comes with its own music, whenever a character is under the effect of a Super Star, special music will play in the background and the stage music will be lowered in volume to the point that it becomes extremely difficult to hear over the layered theme; however, in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', it completely replaces the stage music, causing it to reset after the Star expires. As of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the music is very similar to how it sounds in ''Super Mario Bros.'', while the first two ''Smash'' games use a slight remix of the theme.

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.

—Description from the Super Smash Bros. instruction booklet

The Super Star (スーパースター, 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 Mario series.

Origin[edit]

A Super Star as seen in Super Mario Bros.

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 Super Star has become a recurring item in the Mario Kart series and serves as the logo for the Star Cup. When used, it allows the player to become temporarily invincible, increase their speed, and knock over any opponents they drive into.

Similar in appearance to the Super Star is the Power Star, a collectable object throughout the Mario series.

In Super Smash Bros.[edit]

The Starman in SSB.

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 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.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

The Starman in Melee.

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.

Trophy[edit]

Trivia[edit]

  • 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 fighters fall through it to the blast zone.
  • In Brawl, if Snake obtains the Super Star and uses Grenade Launcher, the visual effect of the Super Star will still appear. This happens whenever he uses an item that gives a visual effect, like the Smoke Ball.
  • 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 Hammer and the Golden Hammer. Incidentally, all three come from Mario and its sub-universes.
