The player can control the Star Ball by first [[jump]]ing on top of it, pointing {{button|Wii|Wiimote}} straight up, and then tilting it in a direction while trying to move at a steady pace. Once [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) is on the Star Ball, he cannot dismount it. Mario's objective is to ride the Star Ball into a [[divot]] marked by a yellow flag, which is similar to a golf hole. To get to the flag, Mario must bypass numerous obstacles, including narrow ledges and moving [[platform]]s. Any enemies in the path of the Star Ball are crushed. Additionally, the speed at which Mario rolls affects the speed and the pitch of the background music being played. | The player can control the Star Ball by first [[jump]]ing on top of it, pointing {{button|Wii|Wiimote}} straight up, and then tilting it in a direction while trying to move at a steady pace.
