Green star hunt - 9 handy tips!

 | 11 jaar |
Have you unlocked green stars in Super Mario Galaxy 2? Here are some tips to help you find and collect green stars.
1. It's like a game of hide and seek. The green stars are hidden in the most peculiar places.
2. Before you start looking for green stars in World 9, it's handy to first search for a green star in the first level. That way, you'll get the hang of it.
3. Listen carefully! You can hear the star twinkling when you're close by.
4. Use the camera function. Press the arrow keys on the remote to rotate the camera and peek behind walls.
5. Sometimes the stars are hidden in the level's scenery.
6. If the star is floating in a ravine, just jump towards it. Once you've grabbed the star, the level is over anyway!
7. Sometimes the stars are in high and peculiar places. You can often reach them with a backflip (press and release Z) or a long jump (run, press Z, then release Z). Or combine these tricks with a power-up, wall jump, and/or spin.
8. A friend with a second controller can sometimes help you get a green star.
9. Really stuck? Look up that level on YouTube.

- Go to the dice on the cheek of the Faceship with 2 chances to get a 1-UP Mushroom.
- To the left ear of the Faceship, there's a warp pipe that takes you to a special room with a 1-UP minigame. Feed the Luma Star Bits or coins to roll the dice with many chances to get 1-UP Mushrooms.
- To the right ear, there's a teleporter that takes you to a spaceship. Here you'll also find a 1-UP.

And if you collect them all and leave, go to the chimney, to the World Map, or switch between Mario and
Luigi, then all 1-UP Mushrooms will respawn!
Personal tip:
How can I fly longer with blue Yoshi in Yoshi's Story?
If you're in a level where you can fly on blue Yoshi (who blows air for a certain amount of time), try to find the regular green Yoshi and hop on. When you reach the Power-up for the blue Yoshi, jump and start flying. Make sure that when you're up high, you click on the Power-up. It will come to you, and since you were already higher in the air, you'll have more time! Good luck!

- you can stop enemies by aiming at them and holding down B
- you can STEAL (super fun) colorful stars from other characters! Like on the Mario spaceship, where various cute characters are walking around! Aim at them, hold down B, and...SHAKE!!! The character starts spinning and giggling, and the stars fly around!
