Star Piece (Paper Mario series): Difference between revisions

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]] 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. The in-game description is: ''"It's a glowing Star Piece! Wait and see what this is for."''
