The '''Star List''' is an important organizational feature that was implemented into ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It allows the player to quickly and easily keep track of the total number of [[Power Star]]s that have currently been collected at any point in the game. Note that much of the same information that is found on the Star List can also be found in the small box that appears on the top of the screen when selecting a galaxy to fly to in either game, though enabling the player to view all of the information in one central location makes it considerably easier and more convenient. In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the player must speak to [[Polari]] in one of the [[dome]]s onboard the [[Comet Observatory]] (or in the main area of the Comet Observatory) to access the map of the Comet Observatory, from which they can then press the "List" button to access the Star List. In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', this has been made much easier, as a "Star List" button has now been added directly to the pause menu, and the player can therefore access it any time during gameplay. | The '''Star List''' is an important organizational feature that was implemented into ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

Contrary to what one may believe, the Star List does in fact display other information in addition to the number of Power Stars currently collected. For instance, the Star List in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' displays the name of every [[galaxy]] in the game, a golden crown icon for the galaxies that have been fully completed, the type and color of each Power Star collected (see [[Prankster Comet]] for more information), and the highest number of [[coin]]s that have currently been collected in each galaxy.

The Star List in this game also displays the fastest race times for several missions in different galaxies. In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', the Star List displays the name of each galaxy, a golden crown for completed galaxies (or a silver one if players decide not to collect the [[Green Power Star|Cosmic Jewels]]), the type and color of each Power Star, and a [[Comet Medal]] icon for galaxies in which the player has already found the Comet Medal. On this Star List, the icons of [[List of items|items]] which have not yet been collected will be blacked out until the item is collected. | ||

The Star List was first seen in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. In this game, the Star List consists of a total of four pages. The first three pages display the Power Star information for each galaxy. Galaxies with a total of six or seven Power Stars are shown at the top of the list on Page 1, which is colored with a striped purple background. Next, the six boss galaxies in the game along with the [[Gateway Galaxy]] are shown at the top of Page 2, which is colored with a striped green background. The remainder of Page 2 and the entirety of Page 3 show the galaxies in the game with only one or two Power Stars total, and is colored with a striped yellow background. Although each galaxy is thus organized into its own category by default, each galaxy is still listed by the order in which it was first unlocked within its specific category. | The Star List was first seen in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

The player can vertically scroll up or down through the Star List by pressing the two arrow buttons found directly on the right side of the Star List, by using the control stick on the [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]], or by using {{button|wii|Padup}} and {{button|wii|Paddown}} on the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] (the current page number will be displayed between the two arrow buttons on the Star List for reference). The player can also click on the small camera icon located in the bottom right corner of the Star List at any point while viewing it to take a photo of the current page on the screen. The player will then be given the option to send the photo to the Wii Message Board or not. The text in the message that is sent to the Wii Message Board will say "[[Mario]]'s Star List." When players are done viewing the Star List, they can click the back button in the bottom left corner to return to the map of the Comet Observatory again. | The player can vertically scroll up or down through the Star List by pressing the two arrow buttons found directly on the right side of the Star List, by using the control stick on the [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]], or by using {{button|wii|Padup}} and {{button|wii|Paddown}} on the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] (the current page number will be displayed between the two arrow buttons on the Star List for reference).
