In ''Paper Mario'', the Star Rod is an artifact created by ancient magic.<ref>According to [[Russ T.]], the Star Rod was created by ancient magic long ago.</ref> It can grant any [[wish]] to its holder. It is stolen from [[Star Haven]] by [[Bowser]] and used to grant all of his evil wishes. Using it, he easily defeats Mario by making himself invincible. [[Mario]] and his partners  must save the seven [[Star Spirits]] to deactivate the power of the Star Rod.
 
In the final two battles against Bowser, the Koopa King would use the star rod to make himself invincible or to recover [[HP]]. After freeing all of the Star Spirits, Mario can use the star beam to cancel out the Star Rod's effects when Bowser makes himself invincible.
 
The Star Rod is also the reward for becoming the [[Super Star]] of the [[Star Carnival]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. After completing the game's Star Battle mode, [[MC Ballyhoo]] will award the player with not only a year's supply of [[Candy]], but the Star Rod itself, which he had be carrying in [[Big Top]] all this time. However, Bowser swoops down and steals the rod, claiming he's the real Super Star. The player then chases Bowser to an area called [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]], where it is recovered after a long battle.
 
The Star Rod has appeared in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series as an attack item. It is swung by a player, sending out stars that harm their oppenents. The Star Rod can only shoot twenty stars, but the swing itself can harm opponents indefinitely. The Star Rod is most effective when used by [[Sheik]] or [[Captain Falcon]], as they shoot multiple stars in quick succession.
