Quotes and Statistics
Here is a table that shows statistics, Merluvlee's comments, and what the characters say when giving Star Pieces out.

Origin of Kolorado's Star Piece
Kolorado mentions the origin of the Star Piece he gives to Mario and Parakarry for delivering his letter. However, there are three versions of the story:
 * "I came across it while I was immersed in the dig around here."
 * "I came upon it during my incredibly important research on Lavalava Island."
 * "I came across it while I was wandering about the jungle researching things".
