Wishing upon seeing a shooting star shooting through the night sky is an old and common custom. Ancient civilizations thought those were the spirits of the departed and that these could bring your wishes to the heavens, so they could be granted. Nowadays, knowledge of the true nature of these falling "stars" as meteorites that, instead of going into the heavens, are falling straight towards the Earth, did absolutely nothing to deter this tradition's popularity, and it remains quite common to hear about wishing for something when a shooting star is seen. As such, this trope is rather common in fiction, and one of the most recurring ways for characters to Make a Wish along with the Wishing Wells and the Genie in a Bottle. Subtrope to Make a Wish.

Charlie from Wish has been making daily wishes since fourth grade. She wishes on stars, four-leafed clovers, ladybugs, and dandelions, among other things. Her wish is for her family not to be broken. Although her original family never reunites, she realizes she got her wish by having Gus and Bertha as her family. | |

The fifth chapter of Asteroid in Love (adapted as part of Episode 2) happens on a night at the peak of a meteor shower. Endou eventually kept the entire gang at the picnic site so that she can do this, but there wasn't a single shooting star visible to her that night. | |

Doraemon: Nobita in the Wan-Nyan Spacetime Odyssey have Doraemon and gang finally becoming friends with Hachi and his gang (a bunch of andromorphic can and dog-people) and spending the night at their place, while Nobita is still pinning for his missing dog, Ichi. Then, Shizuka sees what she thought was a shooting star, and wished Nobita can reunite with Hachi soon. Ironically her wish is closer than she thinks - Hachi, their new friend, is actually the evolved Ichi who accidentally got thrown around in a time-warp and de-aged. | |

In The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, the twins wish to have super-powers. Cody wakes up in the morning with telekinesis, and Zack with super speed; however, the wish also gives Mr. Moseby his own powers and advanced technology, and he takes the role of super villain. The twins foil his plans but end up with a mess anyway, Zack uses his speed to reverse the Earth's rotation, meant to return them to the previous night, but actually taking them to the stone age. Zack later wakes up, but the episode is ambiguous as to whether or not the whole experience was All Just a Dream. | |

xkcd In one strip, two hackers deliberately crash a satellite. As they watch it burn up, one of them tells the other to make a wish. Parodied in "Wish on a Shooting Star", with a Venn diagram showing those things that get wished on a shooting star and those things that can actually be produced by a shooting star (ie. falling meteorite). The only thing appearing in both categories is "revenge". |

This proves to be a mistake; her father is married to a Gold Digger, Jackson moved out of the house and lives as a homeless hermit, and her best friends live two completely different lives- Oliver teamed up with Rico as a team of salesmen, and Lily has become an Alpha Bitch. She hates this new life so much she makes a reversal-wish on the first shooting star she sees. | |

In several Animal Crossing games, a shooting star named Wishy sometimes shoots through the night sky, and one can make a wish by pressing the A button fast enough. If successful, the player receives a letter from Wishy the next morning with a rare item inside. This is changed a bit in New Horizons. Blathers's sister Celeste now makes an appearance the night of a meteor shower and will give you a DIY recipe each time she shows up (including the Star Wand). Actually wishing on the stars will result in star fragments washing ashore the next day, with some even being from specific constellations. |

In Miitopia, when Miis camp out for the night, there's a chance a shooting star will appear and the Miis begin to make wishes on it; this initiates a mini game where you have to help one of the Miis' wishes come true by tapping the same wish bubble three times in a row before the star reaches the other side of the top screen. Once decided, a chest drops from the sky, as if the star granted their wishes, and you receive whatever you wished for; either gold, HP bananas, MP candy, or monsters. For the Nintendo Switch port, due to the lack of a duel screen, the player can simply choose what wish they want to come true, but they still have to do it before the star disappears. | |

In Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!, resident glasses character Atsushi Kinugawa and his Evil Former Friend Kinshirou Kusatsu make wishes on shooting stars as children, and there's a repeating motif of shooting stars in the sky which parallels the relationship between the two. The two wishes end up being central to the plot, as the apparent failure of Kinshirou's is his Start of Darkness. | |
