To collect them, the player can move the [[Star Cursor]] over them or simply run into them. For every 50 [[Mario]] collects, he receives an [[extra life]]. Mario keeps collected Star Bits after losing a life in a [[Level|stage]], but he loses his [[coin]]s. The games' tally of Star Bits collected on the HUD can only count a maximum of 999 Star Bits, and any more collected after neither raises the counter to accommodate four digits nor counts towards any more extra lives. After completing a mission, Mario's Star Bits are added to his total number. If 9,999 Star Bits are collected, all [[coconut]]s in the games become [[watermelon]]s permanently, even if the Star Bit total drops below 9,999 again. | ||
The stored Star Bits are used to feed the [[Hungry Luma]]s found in the [[Comet Observatory]] and several galaxies to unlock galaxies and planets. The player can talk to [[Comet Tico]], in which they can either receive information about [[Prankster Comet|Prankster Comets]] or use him to move the positions of Prankster Comets in exchange for 20 Star Bits. They can also be used to feed other [[Luma]]s, without any practical reward for doing so except for quick, charming dialogue in the excitement of being fed. | The stored Star Bits are used to feed the [[Hungry Luma]]s found in the [[Comet Observatory]] and several galaxies to unlock galaxies and planets.

The average enemy, such as a [[Goomba]], releases three Star Bits when defeated. However, that only happens if the [[Star Spin]] is used, as simply jumping on one produces a single Coin. This holds true for most, but not all enemies. For example, [[Magikoopa]]s only release coins no matter what method they are defeated by. Additionally, some bosses release a few Star Bits after being hit. Mario can also make Star Bits appear by [[Ground Pound]]ing certain buttons or activating [[Flipswitch Panel]]s in various galaxies. If Mario is hit by a [[rubbery bulb]], he falls over and loses some Star Bits. | The average enemy, such as a [[Goomba]], releases three Star Bits when defeated.
