Star Bits debut in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and are first introduced in the form of small rocks from space, landing when Mario arrives at [[Peach's Castle]] at the beginning of the game. To collect them, the player can move the [[Star | Star Bits debut in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and are first introduced in the form of small rocks from space, landing when Mario arrives at [[Peach's Castle]] at the beginning of the game. 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.

There is a larger object related to Star Bits called the [[Star Piece Cluster]], many of which are normally seen in Launch Star paths. They are broken upon impact and produce at least six Star Bits that Mario must collect quickly before they fly away. | There is a larger object related to Star Bits called the [[Star Piece Cluster]], many of which are normally seen in Launch Star paths.

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]] installments, the move has two variations that can be swapped out once the player unlocks them. '''Floaty Star Bit''' is a large Star Bit that is slow and gets in the way of fighters. '''Shooting Star Bit''' shoots only one Star Bit, but has longer range and more power. Unlike the default variation, these two variations are considered projectiles and can be reflected or absorbed. | In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]] installments, the move has two variations that can be swapped out once the player unlocks them.

In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', Star Bits are exclusive to the amiibo Party on the [[Rosalina Board]]. They appear in [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]-like recipients. When the player lands on an [[Event Space]], the Star Bits inside the recipient fly out and fall in the center of the board, where they have to be quickly collected with the cursor within five seconds. They can then be exchanged for an equal number of [[Coin]]s. | In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', Star Bits are exclusive to the amiibo Party on the [[Rosalina Board]].
