The Star Rod, also referred to as the Star Wand[1] or Wand,[2] is an item from the Kirby series. It has appeared in Super Mario-kun a few times: In volume 7, the Star Rod is one of the items stolen by the collector, and in volume 9, a Star Rod is used by Mario to defeat No.48; he created it earlier on by combining a Super Star with a rod.
The Star Rod is an item in every game of the Super Smash Bros. series. It is a battering item that shoots up to twenty stars at opponents.
