Green Star

"AY-O! Did ya see that? Those Prankster Comets were green! That means there are Green Stars around now! Those must be the cosmic jewels I keep hearing about! Those Green Stars are pretty hard to find, so keep your eyes and ears peeled! Take it away, Captain!"

- Lubba

Green Power Stars (グリーンスター Gurīn Sutā) are green-colored Power Stars that can be found in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

In Super Mario Galaxy, there are only three Green Power Stars, each of which is hidden away in a different galaxy. Collecting all three of them grants Mario access to the three Trial Galaxies on the Planet of Trials: the Rolling Gizmo Galaxy, the Loopdeeswoop Galaxy, and the Bubble Blast Galaxy.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, there are a total of 120 Green Stars to be found (also called Cosmic Jewels). These are only available once the player collects 120 regular Power Stars, and completes the first mission of Bowser's Galaxy Generator a second time. Each galaxy has the same number of Green Stars as regular Power Stars (except the Grandmaster Galaxy, which has no Green Stars at all). When collecting Green Stars, the player will have to redo a certain mission from a galaxy. Green Stars are usually found in hard to reach or hidden areas of the galaxies. Additionally, the Green Stars only appear when a galaxy is orbited by a Green Comet (every galaxy will have a Green Comet once they are unlocked).

Super Mario Galaxy 2's Green Stars make a distinct twinkling sound, which is different from that of normal Power Stars, as well as the Green Stars in Super Mario Galaxy.

Trivia

 * Green Lumas grow up to become Green Stars, according to Rosalina.
 * When the Green Comets are in orbit in Super Mario Galaxy 2, a remix of the Good Egg Galaxy's music is played in World 1's map.
