Green Power Stars, or Green Stars, are items which appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Description[]

Green Power Stars are a special type of Power Star first found in Super Mario Galaxy. These power stars are very rare and typically appear under the shadow of the Green Comet, they also appear hidden in certain levels and must be found as a normal Power Star. Typically, discovering all of the Green Power Stars reveals another galaxy.

There are only three Green Power Stars. When a Green Power Star is found, a Green Luma appears in the Comet Observatory around a green transparent Launch Star located near the Terrace and the Garage. Once all three Green Power Stars are found, the green Launch Star is restored and becomes usable, it launches Mario/Luigi to the otherwise unapproachable Planet of Trials, where three more Green Lumas await to transform into Launch Stars which can send Mario/Luigi to Rolling Gizmo Galaxy, Bubble Blast Galaxy, and Loopdeeswoop Galaxy, respectively. Once the game is beaten with both Mario and Luigi, a fourth Green Luma appears and takes him to the Grand Finale Galaxy.

The three galaxies and the missions where the Green Power Stars can be obtained are listed as such:

Green Star Get

Mario lays claim to yet another Green Power Star.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Green Power Stars are first hinted by the Green Lumas which show up on Starship Mario late in the game, often referring to them as Cosmic Jewels. The first Green Power Star shows up once 117 Power Stars are collected and the second one shows up once all 120 Power Stars are collected.

Every Green Power Star is summoned by Green Comets, which orbit every galaxy after collecting all 120 Power Stars. A Green Power Star can be collected in each of the galaxies once Mario/Luigi collects all 120 Power Stars, beats the first mission of Bowser's Galaxy Generator a second time, and after the player sees the secret ending. Every galaxy has the same number of Green Power Stars as Power Stars, but unlike them, Green Power Stars do not have to be collected in any particular order.

Green Power Stars are usually well hidden and are often off edges, in dangerous locations, or require some tactical maneuvers to obtain, similar to Comet Medals. A distinct twinkling sound now plays when Mario/Luigi is close to a Green Power Star. Once every Green Power Star is collected in a galaxy, the silver crown denoting that every Power Star in a galaxy has been collected changes to gold on the world map.

All 120 Green Stars are required to unlock the final galaxy, Grandmaster Galaxy, so it is therefore the only galaxy that without any Green Stars.

Super Mario 3D World[]

Green Power Stars do not appear, although there is the similar Green Stars, which are effectively the replacement for Star Medals, and by extension, Star Coins, as there are three Green Stars to collect in every level.
