'''Aster''' is a guardian of the ancient [[Kingdom of Bask]], appearing in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''.

==History==
Not much is known about Aster's backstory, other than the fact that he was tasked by [[List of implied characters#King Bask|King Bask]] to guard the Temple of Bask as a spirit and keep [[Lucien]]'s power in check. When [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]] steal Lucien oblivious to its true powers, Aster asks [[Mario]] to recover the [[Power Stone]]s before Lucien can and teaches him the [[Special Shot]] to help him.

Later on, when Lucien forces Mario to partake in the "Lucien Cup" in which the loser must hand over their Power Stones to the winner, Aster appears to give [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] the power of the Special Shot to face the corrupted Wario and Waluigi. At the end of the Lucien Cup, Aster then begs Mario to stop [[Bowser]] in his new form, [[Bowcien]].

After Bowcien is defeated, Aster thanks Mario before vanishing, restoring peace for both the spirit of King Bask and the Kingdom of Bask. Starting in version 2.0.0, after Mario completes the [[Ruins of Trials]], Aster tells him that he is "a true king of tennis" and asks him to use that power to preserve peace around the world.
