Star Power

Star Powers are abilities in Paper Mario. Once Mario frees one of the seven Star Spirits, he is given an ability from them. This ability will cost Star Energy to be used. When Mario frees Eldstar from the Koopa Bros. Fortress he is given two Star Spirits, Focus and Refresh.

Focus
Focus is one of the first two abilities that Mario learns. Given to Mario by Eldstar, this power does not cost Star Energy to use as it increases Mario's Star Energy by a little bit when used.

Refresh
Refresh is the first ability that Mario learns that requires Star Energy. It is used to recover five HP and FP. This power costs Mario one point of Star Energy to use.
