Battle of Protagonists (Stomp)

I meant to say from Super Mario Sunshine

Well... They can be seen coming out of bosses and stuff, though said bosses were almost all made of goop. You can also collect coin and they turn into a Shine Sprite like in 64 with Power Stars. Plus, in Odyssey, it's said Power Moons come in different shapes and sizes and we consider Moons = to Star IIRC. But there's probably not much evidence beyond that. We don't even have direct proof the Shine Sprites empower things. All we have is that they keep the island forever sunny and that's because they emit some mystical light. But then again, Robo-Bowder had one inside it and usually macguffins are used to empower machines... So I dunno.

I wouldn't say Shine Sprites scale due to their lack of feats. Unlike Power Moons which treat Power Stars as the same power sources. Shine Sprites can amp, however only in specific ways. In Paper Mario TYYD, you can collect Shine Sprites which can power up your partners when talking to Merlon.

Shine Sprites also may have a speed feat or a teleportation one. I assume they're how Mario gets back from the Secret levels because there's really no other explanation.

But yeah. Nothing really says they scale to Power Stars.

What's the speed feat
