Comet Medal

Comet Medals are a type of item that appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are white octagonal coins with a golden lining and a picture of a golden comet (a Star with a tail) imprinted on them. Comet Medals make comets appear, like in the first game. They are found in every galaxy, usually in hard to reach places or requiring the use of a power-up. Once collected, if the player re-enters the level, the Medal will appear to be a clear blue silhouette of the original. It can still be collected, however, but is not added to the total.

Trivia

 * When collected, the Comet Medal makes a similar sound effect to that of a Red Coin from Super Mario Sunshine.
