Silver Stars are items which first appear in Super Mario 64 DS.

Description[]

Silver Star Sprite

Silver Stars are the weaker, silver-colored equivalent to Power Stars. Certain missions or levels feature five Silver Stars, which must be collected for a Power Star to appear.

In Super Mario 64 DS, collecting all five Silver Stars causes a Power Star to appear within a Star Sphere. If the player's character gets hit by an obstacle or an enemy, they drop a Silver Star, causing the Power Star to disappear from the Star Sphere, and they must collect the Silver Star again as it bounces all around the course. In doing so, the Power Star reappears within the Star Sphere.

In the Super Mario series[]

Several of the main courses, as early as Bob-omb Battlefield, have a mission in which five Silver Stars must be collected. Silver Stars only appear in the course when selecting its mission before entering; this is unlike missions such as the Red Coin ones, which can be completed within other missions. Two secret courses, Sunshine Isles and Battle Fort, also feature their own set of five Silver Stars.

The location of each Silver Star is shown on the Touch Screen.

Super Mario Galaxy series[]

Aside from being scattered around, some Silver Stars are found floating in bubbles. Whenever a Silver Star is collected, it makes the same chirp as a Luma, and it trails behind Mario or Luigi. When all five Silver Stars are collected, they combine to form a Power Star.

Silver Stars act the same in both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. However, in the former game, the Silver Stars of Dusty Dune Galaxy instead combine to form a Green Power Star.
