The Wishing Star is a useless gadget owned by Doraemon.
Function[]
The Wishing Star flies to the person calling it and can grant his wishes. However, it is a subject of misunderstandings. For example, if you wish for a baked sea bream (鯛焼き Taiyaki), the gadget gives you a tire (タイヤ Taiya) and a tree (木 Ki).
However, the Wishing Star was useful on one occasion; Nobita uses it to escape Gian and Suneo and it hides him inside a trash bin.
