The power of one's presence, either through endorsements, popularity or vote of confidence in said person that often lends itself to strongly influencing a certain decision or state of indecisiveness. In friend settings, the strength of one's star power is usually determined by how close and popular a particular friend is, in comparison to the strength they may have in persuading another individual's actions contrary to their initial thoughts. The word's influence originated from the star power-up found in the Super Mario Kart games, in which upon collecting, would render the racer invincible and powerful for a few seconds. When the same mechanics are applied in a real-life setting, one who has star power has enough power to influence a particular decision for a particular moment in time, either short or long-term.
