Starting Boost

The Starting Boost is a boost that causes Mario to go incredibly fast in Super Mario Galaxy. This move can be done to pass Cosmic Mario at the begining of the races against him. It is done by holding Up on the Nunchuck while the race is about to start. When the words GO! appear on the screen, the player then has to press A on the Wii Remote. Being used, Mario goes very fast and glows yellow, as if he had just gotten a star.
