What is a Star Piece in Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door remake?
First appearing in the initial Paper Mario game, Star Pieces are an item you can collect in the Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door remake. They serve the same purpose, and you can exchange them for valuable Badges.
Notably, you can trade Star Pieces only to Dazzle, a small NPC located in the Rogueport Sewers. The character exchanges Badges for Star Pieces, each of which holds significant value.

It's not an easy task to gather all the Star Pieces as you have to keenly explore every spot while progressing through the gameplay.

How to use Star Piece in Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door remake
You can trade valuable badges in exchange for Star Pieces. (Image via Nintendo)
When you have gathered all the Star Pieces, you can exchange them at Dazzle's store. The store will open up when you return to the sewers for a second time after your first visit.
Locate Dazzle by descending into the sewers through an entrance located to the left of the professor's residence and proceeding towards the left side.
His badges are some of the most potent in the game — making it worth your while to hunt down these inconspicuous little Star Pieces scattered across the map. However, not all badges are ones you need to buy from him; a few will come your way naturally as you progress in the game.
