'''Green Stars''' (referred to as '''cosmic jewels''' by the Green [[Luma]]s in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'') are collectible green-colored [[Power Star]]s that debut in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:Greenstar.png|thumb|Green Star artwork for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'']]
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', there are only three Green Stars, each of which is hidden away in a different [[galaxy]]. Collecting all three of them grants [[Mario]] access to the three [[Trial Galaxies]] on the [[Planet of Trials]]: the [[Rolling Gizmo Galaxy]], the [[Loopdeeswoop Galaxy]], and the [[Bubble Blast Galaxy]].

=====Locations=====
*[[Battlerock Galaxy]] - [[Luigi under the Saucer]]: Rescuing [[Luigi]] from a cage in the first level.
*[[Buoy Base Galaxy]] - [[The Secret of Buoy Base]]: Through a Pipe under the Buoy Base sealed in a cage which needs to be broken with a [[Torpedo Ted]].
*[[Dusty Dune Galaxy]] - [[Treasure of the Pyramid]]: Collecting five [[Silver Star]]s in the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy#Pyramid Planets|Pyramid Planet]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
{{quote|The Green Star Challenge Is On!|Save file description|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', there are a total of 120 Green Stars to be found. These are only available once the player collects 120 regular Power Stars and then completes the first mission of [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]] again. Each galaxy has the same number of Green Stars as regular Power Stars (except the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]], which has no Green Stars at all, as collecting all of the Green Stars is required to unlock this galaxy). When collecting Green Stars, the player will have to do a certain mission of a galaxy again. In some cases, the Green Stars in a galaxy can be collected in any order (e.g. "Green Star 2" can be collected during the Green Star 1 mission), but in general, they can only be collected when playing a Green Star mission. Green Stars are usually found in hard to reach or hidden areas of the galaxies. Additionally, the Green Stars only appear when a galaxy is orbited by a Green Comet, which will appear once they are unlocked.

''Super Mario Galaxy 2''{{'}}s Green Stars make a distinct twinkling sound, which is different from that of normal Power Stars and the Green Stars in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and is meant to help players in locating them.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====

Green Stars serve as the main collectible items in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and the ''Super Mario 3D World'' mode of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They function similarly to [[Star Medal]]s from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', and by extension, [[Star Coin]]s from the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games, and share the same sound effects as the former. All the regular courses have three of them, Enemy Battles have one, [[Captain Toad]] courses have five, and there can be five, ten, or thirty Green Stars in the [[Mystery House]]s. In [[Enemy Battles]], the player needs to defeat all the enemies to receive the Green Star. In main courses, they are scattered around in hidden areas just like Star Medals. In [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] levels, the objective is to solve the course's puzzles and to obtain all five Green Stars. In Mystery Houses, the player needs to complete one of the ten-second challenges to receive one. There are 380 Green Stars in total, and each of them additionally grants the player 4000 points. Some levels on the World Map require the player to have a certain number of Green Stars to play the level and advance past it.

=====Locked levels=====
*[[Bowser's Highway Showdown]] - 10 Green Stars
*[[Puffprod Peaks]] - 15 Green Stars
*[[Chain-Link Charge]] - 30 Green Stars
*[[Lava Rock Lair]] - 50 Green Stars
*[[Backstreet Bustle]] - 80 Green Stars
*[[Hands-On Hall]] - 100 Green Stars
*[[Bowser's Lava Lake Keep]] - 130 Green Stars
*[[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]] - 170 Green Stars
*[[Cosmic Cannon Cluster]] - 210 Green Stars
*[[Broken Blue Bully Belt]] - 240 Green Stars
*[[World Crown]] - 342 Green Stars

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Green Stars also appear exclusively in the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. After the end credits, a Green Star is falling across the sky that [[Captain Toad]] chases after. The star falls down the [[Clear Pipe]] leading to the [[Sprixie Kingdom]] from ''Super Mario 3D World'' which Captain Toad also enters. Green Stars also appear in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' levels in the [[Bonus Episode]]; however, instead of functioning like [[Super Gem]]s (the equivalent item in the game), they replace [[Power Star]]s from regular levels at the end of a level, similar to the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games.

The Green Star in the ending is replaced by the [[Odyssey]] in the [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch versions]] to reflect the Bonus Episode this time being based on ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.

==Trivia==
*In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', even though only three Green Stars are able to be recovered in the game, a total of seven Green [[Luma]]s can be found on the [[Comet Observatory]] and the [[Planet of Trials]] (counting the one that takes Mario to the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]]). Green Lumas grow up to become Green Stars, according to [[Polari]].
*When a Green Star mission is chosen in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', the borders of the screen are green instead of black.
