Not to be confused with Invincible Mario.

Rainbow Mario is a special form of Mario that first appears in Super Mario Galaxy. The powers of this form can be granted by obtaining a Rainbow Star, it makes Mario/Luigi invincible similar to the effects of a Starman but the effects of a Rainbow Star are insurmountable compared to those of a Starman. In addition to being invincible to all enemies and enemy attacks, the heroic plumber is also faster and leaves a rainbow trail behind, additionally, his jumps are also higher and longer. If Mario doesn't stop running while in this form, he'll get Star Bits (but obviously, if he doesn't run or runs in small bursts, he won't get any star bits at all). All enemies killed while in this form will turn into masses of Star Bits as well, while in this form, Mario/Luigi can also break open objects that would normally require Ground Pounds or Star Spins (such as Crates and Item Crystals) just by simply running into them. Unfortunately, Mario/Luigi cannot combine this form with any other power-up; if Mario touches a power-up (such as a Fire Flower) while under the effects of a Rainbow Star, the other item will be kicked away off the screen. Most enemies killed by the Plumbers while in this form have unique animations upon leaving behind numerous Star Bits in their wake. The music as well as Mario himself will increase in speed while in use as time goes by, making Mario get harder and harder to control until the effects run out.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, some Teleporter Planets early on in the game have Rainbow Stars which allow the plumbers to easily exterminate each enemy from the triple 1-Up Mushroom prize, additionally, some Romp Comet involve the plumbers having to kill all enemies in the area under the effects of a Rainbow Star within a time limit to get the Power Star.
