Invincible Mario is a temporary state achieved by collecting a Starman (Super Star). For a short duration, Mario flashes and becomes completely invulnerable to most enemies and hazards. He can run through enemies, defeating them instantly without taking damage. This is an excellent 'build' for clearing crowded sections, rushing through dangerous areas, or simply racking up points by chaining enemy defeats. However, Invincible Mario can still fall into pits or lava, so environmental hazards remain a threat. Use the Starman strategically to bypass difficult sections or to gain a quick burst of momentum. The invincibility lasts for a limited time, so make the most of it!
