Sugarstars are shiny, geometric enemies in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are first introduced in the level The Sugarstar Trial: Across the Night Sky, a level where many of them appear. Sugarstars later appear in The Final Test Wonder Gauntlet and The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon. They fly around in a circular pattern, often forming together to make a wave-like motion. They come in two colors, a slow-moving Green Sugarstar[1] and a speedier Purple Sugarstar.[1] When one gets hit, instead of being defeated entirely, it regenerates its crystal body after a few seconds. They also emit a sparkly trail as they soar. Sugarstars cannot be jumped on or eliminated by bubbles, but they can be destroyed by fireballs, Drill Mario's drill, or Invincible form.
Like the Star Bits introduced in Super Mario Galaxy, their design is invocative of the Japanese sugar candy konpeitō.
