When a character's eyes light up in excitement, usually with a yellow four-pointed sparkle in the center replacing the pupil. Sparkles may also appear around their head.

Do not confuse with star-shaped pupils, which is for literal four/five-pointed star shaped eyes, or for characters who have naturally cross-shaped pupils, such as Nia Teppelin or Chinchou.
