each player holds in their hands.
A player can only have 5 cards
before and after their turn. You
may look at your Hand cards, of
course, but you cannot look at
your opponent’s Hand cards.
Deck
The Deck is the face-down pile of cards that
have not been played. Each player draws a card
from the deck at the beginning of their turn.
Discard Pile
The Discard Pile is the face-up pile of cards
that have been played. Any player can look at
the cards in the Discard Pile at any time.
Each Player has 4 play areas.
3 4
In-Play Cards
In-Play cards are the cards that
are placed face-up in front of
each player. The In-Play cards are
either Coin cards or Superstar
Item cards.

player to place a Superstar card
In-Play. Before playing a
Superstar card, you must have

Item cards In-Play (1 Superstar’s

Play or Discard a card on every turn.

FOR A NEW DECK.
Hand Card Rules
There are three types of Item cards: Superstar’s Shoes, Superstar’s
Clothes, and Superstar’s Hat. Each Item card will require 2 Coin
cards to be In-Play. Before playing an Item card, you must first
place 2 In-Play Coin cards face-up on the Discard Pile.
Each of the 3 types of Item cards must be In-Play before a Superstar card can be
played to win the game.
Some cards require Coin cards to be In-Play before they can be used. The small
coin icon on the card to be played determines how many In-Play Coin cards are needed. Place
the required In-Play Coin cards face-up on the Discard Pile before playing the card. There is no limit to the
number of Coin cards a player can have In-Play.
Hint: Coin cards should be the first cards to be placed In-Play.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
1. When my opponent plays a card that affects all players such as BOB-OMB, can I use a Blocker card?
Answer: No. You can only use Blocker cards when your opponent is playing a card directly against you.
2. When my opponent plays Duel cards such as SUPER WARIO, can I use Blocker cards such as MARIO and
DONKEY KONG even after I lose the duel?
Answer: No. You can only use Blocker cards before the duel starts.
3. When I tried to take my opponent’s Hand cards, they used a DONKEY KONG Blocker card to counter and
took my Hand cards. Could I use SUPER MARIO to take cards from my opponent?
Answer: Yes. You can use Blocker cards against Blocker cards.
4. My opponent tried to take my In-Play cards, so I am thinking about using SUPER MARIO and adding 1
In-Play Coin card to take my opponent’s Hand or In-Play cards. Can I look at my opponent’s Hand cards first
before taking one of his or her In-Play cards?
Answer: No. You must declare which cards, In-Play or Hand, you will take when playing the SUPER MARIO
card. Once you play the card, you cannot change your choice.
5. GRACEFUL PRINCESS PEACH can be used to take a card from the Deck or Discard Pile. Can I take a card
from the Discard Pile after checking the Deck?
Answer: No. You must declare which cards, Deck or Discard, you will search before playing the GRACEFUL
PRINCESS PEACH card. Once you play the card, you cannot change your choice.
6. I challenged my opponent to a Mini-Game using the BIG BOO card but they used SUPER MARIO to defend
their Coin cards. Additionally, they added 1 In-Play Coin card to take my In-Play card. Can I still play the
Mini-Game to prevent them taking my In-Play card?
Answer: No. You cannot play the Mini-Game. Your BIG BOO card is no longer in effect because your opponent
used a Blocker card. You can only counter with another Blocker card.
7. If an e-Reader is being used in the game, can I choose NOT to use it?
Answer: No. If an e-Reader is available and has been used once in the game, it must be used for all
e-Challenges.
8. Can I have the same Item card In-Play more than once?
Answer: Yes. Although you only need one of each Item card to win the game, you can have more than one
Superstar’s Shoes, Superstar’s Clothes, or Superstar’s Hat In-Play. You may want to have extra Item cards
In-Play in case another player takes one.
