In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Star Pieces are scattered throughout the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], and collected by characters and used for trading too. Characters also give them to each other as thank-you gifts, usually for returning or giving an item wanted. [[Goombaria]] mentions that they are good-looking ("Look at the pretty glitter!"), which implies that characters collect them because they look good. [[Kolorado]] also mentions that when he found a Star Piece when searching [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]] he immediately picked it up. [[Mario]] can also collect them, but the only practical use in the game is to trade [[badge]]s from [[Merlow]]. There are just enough collectible Star Pieces to buy all the badges Merlow offers. The player can check the numbers of Star Pieces collected so far on a board in [[Mario Bros.' House|Mario's House]], and the number in possession on the pause menu.

Some of the overworld Star Pieces are underground. These need at least Super Boots or [[Ultra Hammer]] to get. When performing a [[Spin Jump]], [[Tornado Jump (move)|Tornado Jump]], or an Ultra Hammer smash around it, a square panel from the ground flips, and the Star Piece pops out. However, if jumped or smashed right above, the panel will only shake without popping out the Piece. These Star Pieces' existence is hinted by a [[Boo]] that appears in the room where Mario gets the Super Boots. They can be detected by the [[I Spy]] Badge.  
Some of the overworld Star Pieces are under invisible panels on the ground. They can only be revealed with the [[Super Boots]], [[Ultra Boots]] or [[Ultra Hammer]]. When Mario uses one of these equipments around the panel, it flips and the Star Piece pops out. However, if Mario or his partner is above the panel, it merely shakes without popping out the Star Piece. The existence of underground Star Pieces is mentioned by a [[Boo]] that appears immediately after Mario gets the Super Boots in [[Boo's Mansion]]. Such star pieces can be detected using the [[I Spy]] Badge.
