The Ruby Star is the fourth Crystal Star in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The Ruby Star was originally owned by Doopliss, until Mario defeated the Duplighost in combat.
Mario receives the Ruby Star after Vivian joins his team to help him get his name, appearance, and teammates back. Together, they confront Doopliss (who is disguised as Mario). Ultimately, Vivian and the real Mario defeat the doppelganger and recover the Ruby Star.
