Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door contains a subtle detail regarding the power of the Crystal Stars: Grubba is the only boss who uses the power of his Crystal Star, which manifests in him having an attack that matches up with the attack Mario learns upon obtaining that star. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Crystal Stars are artifacts with two purposes: 1. gathered together, they open the Thousand-Year Door, and 2. separately, they each grant a special power to the user. Most bosses that possess Crystal Stars either do not use them at all, or are only aware of the first purpose: Hooktail's star is trapped in her stomach, so she is not using it. Crump has two stars, Doopliss is but is only aware of the aware that his door-opening purpose, star is valuable, but and is not using them. he is not using it. However, Grubba is special in that he is actively using the Crystal Star for nefarious purposes, via a machine. In fact, he does not seem to be aware of its door-opening purpose and uses it for its power only. Cortez has so little use for his star that he lets Mario have it for free. In battle, he has two moves whereby he increases his attack and defense by 3, respectively. The star in Poshley Heights is not claimed by anyone when Mario finds it. When Mario obtains Grubba's Crystal Star, he learns the Power Lift move, which grants him the same ability to raise attack and defense by up to 3 as Grubba had. None of the other bosses have any attacks that match up with the moves Mario learns when obtaining their Crystal Stars, making this a deliberate showcase of Grubba using the same power Mario does later. ce: Supper Mario Broth, screenshots taken in a GC emulator, game: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (NA, GC)
