power star

Gaming reward icon

A power star is a collectible item in video games, especially Nintendo's Mario series, where gathering them marks progress or unlocks new areas.

The term extends to any gaming objective that functions similarly—a prize that advances the player through the game: I need three more power stars to open the final level.
