In Super Mario 3D World, Green Stars have the same function as Power Stars being used to unlock new levels.

In Super Mario Odyssey, Power Stars appear exclusively in the Mushroom Kingdom, but are reffered to as Power Moons. When collected, a jingle is heard similar to collecting a Power Star in Super Mario 64.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, a Power Star appears as Rosalina's Final Smash which fires multiple stars at a rapid rate, but anyone caught in the center of the attack will take massive amounts of damage leading to a K.O after the explosion. The Power Star will continue to attack even if Rosalina is K.O'ed.
