This thread is a continuation and/or revision of the previous thread I made for the Super Mario Bros. In this thread, we'll be proposing Power Star keys for the characters as well as going over the power of the Power Stars. Seeing as how people had their doubts about the Power Stars being Galaxy level in the previous thread, we'll also be going over their power in this thread if required. Let's begin...
Power Stars should scale to the user, as we have many instances of them empowering the characters who are holding onto them or Power Stars being able to amplify users. One of the most blatant examples of this comes from Mario Party DS, where it's directly told that Mario uses the power of the stars. Here, it's very blatant as it tells us exactly what the purpose of them is, which is to power users. In both versions of Mario 64, Power Stars give power to those who collect them, indicating that just having them gives you power alone. There are more examples such as Mario Galaxy, where Bowser Jr. HEAVILY implies that the bosses who are refought are juiced up by The Grand Stars (which Power Stars should be similar to) and used them to obtain the form they take now. Besides, how else would Mario beat Bowser in Super Mario 64 who was also amped by the Power Stars and claimed that Mario's star power was useless against him in the final battle?
Suffice it to say, those who have Power Stars SHOULD be empowered by them. We have many games across many different eras of Mario that consistently point to the notion that Power Stars are a source of power to those who collect them and bosses who use them can even obtain a different form and become stronger than the first time they were fought.
Power Stars keys should return and instead of what was previously discussed, the primary rating will be Large Star level due to this feat:
Large Star level (a single power star was able to move 12 stars)
Here is Mario´s page if the upgrade is accepted

Why should Mario have his Power Star key?
Here's why I believe Mario and Luigi as well as the rest of the cast should have their Power Star keys back on their profiles...Power Stars should scale to the user, as we have many instances of them empowering the characters who are holding onto them or Power Stars being able to amplify users.

Conclusions
To me, I don't think it makes much sense to have Mario and the gang listed as "higher with Power Stars" and Bowser at "3-C with preparation", but at the same time NOT allow them to scale to it. And that's why I propose returning the Power Star key for everyone.Power Stars keys should return and instead of what was previously discussed, the primary rating will be Large Star level due to this feat:
