They are earned by touching the moving tape on a [[Giant Gate]]. The higher [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] touches it, the more Goal Stars he gets (from one to 30, then 40, then 50 at the top). Getting all 50 of a Giant Gate's Goal Stars gives Mario or Luigi three [[extra life|1-Ups]]. If Mario or Luigi does not touch the tape, he will get only a [[coin]] from the tape. Goal Stars are saved from [[level]] to level, and earning 100 of them lets Mario or Luigi go to the [[bonus game (Super Mario World)|bonus game]], where he can earn [[1-Up Mushroom]]s.

Goal Stars appear in ''Super Mario World''-themed levels in the ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' games, though for visual effect only. As such, they are not counted to the score, though the "50" reward is replaced with a "1UP" reward.
