'''Grand Stars''' are large and powerful [[Power Star]]s sometimes appearing in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', their first appearance, Grand Stars are used to provide power to the six [[dome]]s onboard the [[Comet Observatory]], thereby allowing the player to reach more galaxies as the events of the game progress. In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Grand Stars still allow the player to reach more and more galaxies, but they now provide direct access to the next [[World#Super Mario Galaxy 2|World]] via their transformation into a [[Portal]] instead.
'''Grand Stars''' are large and powerful [[Power Star]]s in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. There are seven in the first game and six in the second game for a grand total of thirteen.

Rosalina has a Grand Star as her [[emblem]] throughout many of her other appearances, including ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and various spinoff games of the ''Super Mario'' franchise, including the [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'' series]], the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], and the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. In ''Super Mario 3D World'', her emblem can be seen whenever she grabs a [[Goal Pole]] or touches a [[Checkpoint Flag]], and on Rosalina's [[Character Switch]]. In ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', the Grand Star is similarly used to signify [[Mini Rosalina]]'s levels.

''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' is the first game in which Grand Stars appear. All of them are stolen by [[Bowser]] to be used for his own evil ambitions. As [[Mario]] recovers them, he gradually gains access to different parts of [[Rosalina]]'s Comet Observatory due to the Grand Stars being the power source of the Comet Observatory's [[Beacon]], which in turn sustains all life onboard the observatory. As each Grand Star is found, a path to the next dome is created. Counting the Grand Star obtained from clearing [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], it is only required to obtain 6 of the 7 Grand Stars to complete the game. It is possible to completely skip the Grand Star from the [[Engine Room]], as [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]] can be unlocked as soon as the previous dome is cleared, provided the player has 60 [[Power Star]]s.

Grand Stars make another appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the 2010 sequel to ''Super Mario Galaxy''. In this game, the Grand Stars are once again under the control of [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] This time around, Grand Stars restore power to [[Starship Mario]], and also create the [[Portal]]s leading from one World to the next. In addition to this, the Grand Stars in this game are apparently responsible for [[Bowser#Size|Bowser's enormous size]], as he has eaten them to make himself considerably larger. After [[Mario]] defeats one of Bowser Jr.'s machines or henchmen, it will explode and release a Grand Star. After Mario defeats Bowser, he will cough up a Grand Star and shrink to his normal size. During the final battle in [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]], he is actually able to swallow the Grand Star again, making himself a great deal larger than he had been and leading to the final segment of the battle. Interestingly, the Grand Stars seem to have a side effect when misused, one that causes Bowser to become extremely tiny after the final battle, as seen in the end credits of the game. [[Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla]] is the only galaxy in the game where, if Mario accepts the help of the [[Cosmic Spirit]], the Grand Star will turn into a [[Bronze Star|Bronze Grand Star]].
