Shoot out stars that burst at the end.

Power Star (パワースター, Power Star) is Rosalina & Luma'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.

If an opponent is knocked into the large star, he or she will be trapped in it as it expands, receiving potentially 250% damage, and will be knocked back when it explodes.

The Power Star will still continue to expand, even if Rosalina gets KOed or self-destruct right after she activates the Final Smash.

Trophy Description

 
Power Star Trophy in Smash Wii U

In Rosalina's Final Smash, she summons a Power Star above her head. It launches fighters who touch it and also fires a barrage of smaller stars in all directions, all the while growing bigger and bigger. Even if Rosalina falls off the stage right after activating it, the Power Star will keep attacking her foes until it finally explodes.

Origin

 
Mario collecting 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).
