Template:Infobox Final Smash SSB4 The Power Star (パワースター, Pawāsutā) is Rosalina's Final Smash. While performing this move, Rosalina will pull out a Power Star which shoots out smaller stars in all directions. The stars will rebound when they hit a surface. These smaller stars are fairly ineffective, and can be avoided, but the larger power star will grow in size over the duration of the move. Rosalina is able to move freely a couple seconds after activating Power Star; she becomes vulnerable to attacks at that time. At the end of the Final Smash, the large star will explode, inflicting high knockback on any nearby characters.

Origin

Mario collects a Power Star in Super Mario Galaxy

Power Stars first appeared in Super Mario 64, and act as collectibles that Mario is required to obtain in order to access more levels. These stars also appear again in the remake Super Mario 64 DS, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Galaxy 2, but the Power Stars were replaced by Shine Sprites in Super Mario Sunshine. The number of total stars that the player can collect in each of these four game varies; Super Mario 64 has a total of 120 stars, its DS remake made a increase of 30 stars which brings the total to 150 stars, and both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 each have a total of 242 stars (the former has 121 stars each for Mario and Luigi to collect, and the latter has 122 normal stars and 120 additional Green Stars).
