Monstar is a star-like monster who serves as a mini-boss in Paper Mario, is the primary mini-boss of Chapter 7 and is overall the fourth/final mini-boss of the game.
Summery[]
Despite appearing to be extremely strong, Monstar's attack power is only one, and HP is only twenty. However, Mario can do the Action Command to block and take no damage. After attacking, it asks Mario if he is scared yet in a shaky voice. When defeated, Monstar is revealed to simply be a group of Star Kids. These Star Kids were trying to protect their home, Starborn Valley, from evil-doers like Bowser and the Crystal King. Since Bowser stole the Star Rod and these Star Kids could not rise up to grant wishes, they were stuck in Starborn Valley. So, the Star Kids had nothing better to do until Mario got the Star Rod back.
"Attack"[]
It's only attack is creating a huge fireworks display and raining down stars that are extremely weak as it only does one damage to Mario.
Strategy[]
Despite Monstar's imitating appearance, its actually one of the easily mini bosses in Paper Mario, as all the Player has to do is treat it like a normal enemy.
Trivia[]
- Unlike other enemies in the game, Shooting Star and/or Star Storm do nothing to Monstar, because Monstar is made up of stars.
- Because of its overall health and attack power, Monstar is probable one of the weakest mini-bosses in Paper Mario, even weaker then some of the previous major bosses.
- Monstar's name comes from the words "Monster" and "Star".
- On that note, Monstar's name could be a reference to The Monstars, the secondary antagonists of the 1996 live-action, animated, comedy, adventure film made by Warner Brothers, Space Jam.
