Power stars are collectible that are required to progress and beat the game (without using [[glitches]] to bypass the requirements), as well as to unlock [[courses]]. The star counter keeps track of how many stars you have collected, and there are 120 in total.

==100 Coin Stars==
''Main article: [[100 Coin Star]]''
 
'''100 Coin Stars''' are special Power Stars that spawn in the [[main courses]] when Mario collects 100 [[coin]]s.
==Technical information==
[[File:Star Hitbox.jpg|400px|thumb|right|The hitbox of a Power Star]]
===Hitbox===
All Power Stars have a cylindrical [[hitbox]] with a radius of 80 units and a height of 50 units. The bottom of the hitbox is actually at the center of the star, so the bottom half of the star has no hitbox.
===Height===
Every Power Star spawns at a different height from the [[floor]] below it<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE7hrQ8sHhU</ref>. '''Todo: Migrate this info into a table and place it here. Include Red Coins on the Ship Afloat without the Ship (7519 units).'''
===Position===
Most stars spawn with coordinates that are divisible by 100, although 100 Coin Stars can spawn anywhere. Some stars are always loaded, while some (such as [[Red Coin Stars]] and [[Secret Stars]]) load during the level at a [[Star Spawner]].
===Yaw Velocity (Angular Speed)===
Power Stars spawned from a [[! Block]] have a yaw velocity of 1024 [[angle units]] per [[frame]]. All other Power Stars have a yaw velocity of 2048 angle units per frame. Why these values are different is unknown. All Power Stars spin counterclockwise when viewed from above, similarly to a globe.
==Storage in memory==
{{stub}}
Power Stars are stored such that it is impossible to collect more than 120 stars by collecting two of the same star, even if both are yellow.
