10 Cute Video Game Weapons (That DESTROYED You)
6. Starman - Mario Kart
The first devastating weapon that most gamers experienced was Starman from the Super Mario series. This dancing beady-eyed star looks cute but anyone who has played a Mario game (AKA pretty much anyone in the entire world) knows how unstoppable this power-up is.
Not only will this collectible allow the player to survive any basic attack, they will be able to annihilate almost any enemy with a mere touch.
Even though it's fun to use Starman to charge into Goombas and Koopa Troopas, it's more enjoyable when you activate the power-up in the Mario Kart series. Using this item to crash into your friends when you are seconds away from the finishing line has to be one of the most satisfying moments in all gaming. (Of course, it's also one of the most annoying moments in gaming when you're on the receiving end!)
Even though Starman has played a role in Super Mario Bros, Smash Bros, Mario Golf, and many other games centred around the Italian plumber, you only truly comprehend how destructive this item is in the Mario Kart series.
