Essence of theFinal Star's Legacy

Drinking this ethereal translucent Essence on a five-pointed star-like bottle gave you a brief stomachache… and you felt a lot of ghosts within you, very giddy that they had found the perfect host.

• One-time appearance change. Become a plumber with a good mustache or something, I don’t know.

• You have been bestowed the Final Star, a baleful red Power Star that grants absolute power to those who have it. Due to it being made out of countless Super and Power Stars, it doesn’t run out of power as it passively generates it.

• The Final Star can empower you with immense durability, with an occasional brief opportunity to become truly invincible for a short time. The short time varies from a few seconds to a maximum of a single minute. The cooldown for this is a single week, so you better not use it immediately. The cooldown slowly whittles down to just a few seconds the more you get used to the power of the Final Star.

• Whenever this brief opportunity happens, the image of the Final Star appears above you, destroying or knocking away whatever blocking its path before crashing down towards you whereupon you absorb it like a normal Super Star.

• The Final Star can also empower you with immense strength. After all, what is invincibility without the strength to back it up?

• The Final Star grants you naturally what the Power Stars give to their wielders in the Power Star Series.

• This includes teleportation, pyrokinesis, aura, damage reduction, and immortality.

• Much like the Power Stars and their Grand Star cousins, of the Mario series, the Final Star will grant you access to the powers they can give to their wielders. Yes, those things gave powers, albeit far more subtle during the games.

• E.g. Luigi’s “Za Warudo”, Mario’s “Super Star Mode”, Galaxy Bowser’s “Adamantite Gigantification”, Wario’s “Warioness”, Waluigi’s “expert super dancing skills of destruction”, and Princess Peach’s… Peach summoning from Smash Bros? What?

• The Final Star has granted you the power to turn any abilities or skills of the opponent you are facing into Power Stars should you damage them enough for that ability/skill to become loose from them.

• Should you manage to master the Final Star, you’ll find that the energy it generates didn’t come from it but rather something hidden deep within it… The Chaos Heart. Strangely enough, it is surrounded by seven colorless gems. The gems feel hollow as if they are empty and incomplete. Maybe, find a way to fill them up?

• Upon fully mastered, the Final Star’s energy can be used to create a World or even an entire Universe from scratch.

• The Final Star played a joke with you. Everyone around you will hear music from the Mario franchise. This can be muted by you at will but everyone else needs to find their own mute buttons in their minds. After a day of being affected by this, the music will turn off automatically. Unless you want them to be driven to insanity wherever the music plays on repeat.

• You may shave off a fragment of the Final Star and shape it into a Power Star for another individual. This Power Star lasts until you need it back. This Power Star contains 1.2% of the Final Star’s overall capabilities, making it more powerful than its generic counterparts, but not as powerful as the Final Star. This aspect has a cooldown of a week.

• Even without the Final Star empowering you, you have the strength, durability, endurance, and stamina to fight entire armies with ease.

• You are a master combatant, easily developing strategies and tactics to decimate your foes.

• You think of counters the moment you fight an opponent at least once much like Metallix from SMBZ.

• You are immune to fear. Your mindset can’t be changed forcibly. Your will is immense to the point that you can choose to kill yourself just to spite your enemy after they made you a puppet to hold power absolute.

• Now for something weird, inside your very being lies a large amount of Boos, the “cute” and “cuddly” ghosts from Mario, numbering in huge digits with the hard limit being only in millions. These Boos are special, unlike their generic shy cousins in the Mushroom Kingdom, as they actively love the spotlight of people staring at them.

• Due to the Boos, whenever you try to intimidate someone, your eyes will glow red. You may fade the effect to only the pupils and irides should you wish so.

• The Boos are fiercely loyal to you, their vessel, and will do what you ask of them telepathically or what you desire the most by the letter and spirit of the intent. You may even order them to possess other people, making the latter feel trapped inside a body that doesn’t listen to themselves.

• The Boos empower you with great power. Not only does this allow you to kill people with a single punch and move with insane speeds but the Boos will actively help you in combat, whether by distracting your opponent or making your body move immediately in response to attacks or dangers.

• You better watch out for the speed thing, you cause atmospheric burn by just moving extremely fast. Your clothes and whatever you are holding are somehow protected from that.

• These Boos will actively protect you and your soul from any Soul-Based attacks.

• Any beings that attempt to forcibly possess you will find themselves being assimilated to the Legion of Boos you hold, creating a Boo with all of their powers and traits.

• Any beings that let you possess your body will find both of you will be in sync, and your hearts and minds are one.

• The Boos, should they die, will respawn almost instantaneously inside you.

• Unfortunately, like most of their cousins, the Boos aren’t that intelligent and they have a limited amount of sentience, except one. One of the Boos is a King Boo, one of the only sentient Boos in existence.

• The King Boo is always actively protecting you even when you sleep. Should you fall unconscious and there are enemies nearby, it will take control of your body and will use everything at your disposal to erase said enemies. You may ask King Boo to spare them, but should your foes be unreasonable, it is a king’s job to take down dissidents after all.

• Should you and the Legion of Boos truly be in sync with one another, you will enter a trance-like state called “Devil Star Mode”. Doing so will make it look like you’re glitching in and out of reality whilst surrounded by a deep red aura. This state will amplify everything you have, your strength, agility, durability, and more. This will also result in the Final Star’s invincibility to last indefinitely.

• However, since it is incredibly hard to sync all the Boos with one another, except the King Boo; and the Final Star actively producing more energy than ever before, this trance-like state is rendered temporary to prevent your body from tearing itself apart. Should you manage to master the Final Star, this trance-like state can be entered at will without tearing yourself apart.

• All the Boos are considered a single companion.

• As the Chosen of the Final Star, your potential limiter no longer exists. You can easily destroy the universe if you really feel like it.

• You have access to any powerups in the Mario Setting, whether it is canon or not, except for the Super and Power Stars. All of them are merged to become the Final Star, after all. You are also immune to the “negative” powerups unless you desire so.

• Much like in Mario Maker, you are able to place blocks and warp pipes around you. The placeable block range will start a few meters around you to a soft limit range of 100 meters and a hard limit range of a kilometer.

• Warp Pipes ignore the range limit but they have a delay due to their bodies needing to tunnel out between the entrance and exit points.

• You also have access to all the technologies in the Mario Setting, even that one DBZ-esque crossover setting of Mario and Sonic. No, it doesn’t grant you the skills or intelligence to create them. You just have their blueprints in your mind and some basic materials in a pocket dimension that you own or mailed by a cosmic Lakitu.

• Optionally, you have an extremely sharp blade that can conduct and amplify any power that you are actively using. Its form is up to yours. It can easily be stored in a pocket dimension that only you can have access to. It is also indestructible and respawns back to your pocket dimension should it be destroyed or go missing.

• It is also indestructible, so you don’t have to worry about it breaking. Even if it did broke, its pieces will regenerate into new blades for you to use.

• Optionally, you have access to an army of “cannon fodders” numbering in the thousands. They are mostly Boos-possessed Toads, Yoshis, and Koopas.

• They also respawn over time. Depending on how they died, the process would be faster with fewer wounds they have. With an hour to respawn should they die with the least amount of wounds as possible.

• Optionally, you have access to a pocket dimension where a copy of the Mushroom Kingdom is located. It is heavily furnished and it automatically cleans itself. It has a lifetime supply of resources you need and said resources will automatically stock itself after usage or if you place them in another storage.

• Every copy of the Mushroom Kingdom is personalized…

• Translation: There’s a reality-warping AI inside your copy of the Mushroom Kingdom. It won’t kill you or anything negative, but it likes to prank you by making changes each time you appear on the pocket dimension. The pranks may or may not be creepypasta-esque horrors that can traumatize people that you brought into the pocket dimension.

• Optionally, like the MX, you are an eldritch being born in the “Digital Sea”. This grants you access to an assorted mix of powers that could collectively called “Creepypasta Powers”.

• Naturally, you warp reality… For better or worse. However, your reality warping is slightly delayed in the local area until you terraformed the entire area into a “Creepypasta” biome or terrain. Doing so will cause your reality-warping powers to be instant, albeit locked down in the areas you have terraformed. Anywhere outside of your “Creepypasta” domain, there would always be a slight delay for your reality-warping powers.

• Optionally, you have a Stand… Somehow. It is subjected to Stand rules albeit in the absolute. Yes, meaning only a Stand can defeat a Stand.

• It deals bonus damage if you pose. Well, that was… bizarre.

• Optionally, you may take any characters from the Setting of Mario as companions. Yes, even the fanon ones.

• If you take any AI companion and you’ve also taken the Mushroom Kingdom replica, you may replace the AI from the replica with your AI companion.

• All companions taken are empowered to become a badass fighter akin to an un-Power Star Luigi.

• You have a one-time use Travel Ticket that would transport you to the setting of Mario, whether fanon or not. However, this setting is empowered to be like the Power Star setting. Expect Bowser throwing hands with Mario every time they fight one another, Luigi being a badass, and the Boos becoming confused by your existence should you go there as there is only one King Boo in all of its History.

• You may even be reincarnated to any of the characters in the setting, even a Toad. In fact, I implore you to reincarnate into a Toad. Make them all pay for the suffering of all Toads out there.

• Note: If you decide to use the ticket, the normal or generic Super and Power Stars will still exist. But they will be weakened heavily because most of their energy is already funneled towards the creation of the Final Star that you now hold.

• If you have the Mobius’s Chaotic Legacy, you’ll find a new usage for the Chaos Heart deep inside you. The energy in that Essence would easily be able to fill up the gems with its Chaotic Force.

• Your Eldritch power, should you accept that option, will be greatly amplified. This will allow you terraform the area with ease to the point that you can just walk around and the World itself bends to your very presence.

• You can now use multiple Stands… If you have any means to create them.

• The Final Star is now exponentially amplified by the Chaotic Force bestowed by that Essence. Each time you enter its Trance State, you can now use it without exploding.

• Should you delve deeper, you will find that both Essences are part of a single Singularity that vanished a long time ago. However, it is missing something to kickstart its merging into that Singularity. An Essence that can only be described as a STALKER’s dream.

• Obviously, this Essence can’t be destroyed/erased, forcibly changed, removed, or stolen. Doing so will probably kill them because the Final Star is that dangerous without you holding it in check.
