Grand Star

The Grand Stars are seven very large Stars in Super Mario Galaxy. As Mario gets these Grand Stars, he gains access to different parts of Princess Rosalina's observatory. Princess Rosalina provides Mario with a young Luma who is going to assist him in his quest to save his first Grand Star. Mario then sets out through the Gateway Galaxy, eventually finding a Grand Star inside a planet. A Luma tells him that the Bad Guys are using the Grand Stars to power Something. Mario must then complete a simple puzzle to free it. Mario receives another Grand Star after defeating Megaleg. Two more are found after defeating Bowser and Bowser Jr.. When one is found a path to the next dome is created. There are seven Grand Stars in the game. When five(along with 60 Power Stars, the Engine Room Grand Star is not required.) are found Mario will able to fly to the Center of the Universe to confront Bowser for the final battle, where the seventh and final Grand Star is obtained. The grand stars have the same goal as the Keys from Super Mario 64.
