Super Star

The Super Star (or Starman) is a power-up that empowers Mario to defeat any enemy simply by touching it, and making him immune to any hazard but the bottom of the level, lava, or being crushed between blocks.

Every enemy defeated from the eighth upward gives Mario a 1-Up. Mario is also made faster, especially while running. In SMBU and SMB3 styles, Mario flips while he jumps. Usually, this power-up is used to institute a moment of entertainment for the player during a level.

In some levels, super stars can appear as a trap, which will make the player unable to go anywhere, due to invisible blocks.
