Crystal Stars

The Crystal Stars were key objects in the video game, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Crystal Stars were objects created by the 1,000-year old demon, the Shadow Queen, in which she used to throw the world into the depths of terror. In the end, four heroes rose up against her, and defeated her in battle. They used the power of the Crystal Stars to seal the Shadow Queen behind the Thousand-Year Door. Many years later, Sir Grodus learns about the Crystal Stars, and plans to use them to release the Shadow Queen, in order to use her powers to conquer the world. Mario and his partners went on an adventure to claim the Crystal Stars before Grodus and the X-Nauts, in order to keep them from releasing the ancient demon.
