The All-Star Move, just known as the All-Star and initially the Superstar State in Sega Superstars Tennis, is a special move that appears in the Sega All-Stars series of games. Both Beat and Gum have showcased unique moves throughout the games. In Sega Superstars Tennis, Superstar States had to be activated via a meter, in the racing games, All-Star Moves are simply picked up via items if the player is far behind from the pack.
