Pressing the {{button|wii|B}} button shoots a Star Bit at the location of the Star Pointer. This can be used to stun or defeat some [[List of enemies|enemies]]. If a player holds the {{button|wii|B}} button, Star Bits can be shot continuously. Fired Star Bits cannot be recovered. The color of Star Bits shot are in a looping pattern: blue, red, white, purple, yellow, green, blue.

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.

Note that this does not always happens, as each button or Flipswitch Panel performs a different function depending on its galaxy and location.

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.

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.

====''Mario Party 10''====
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.

===''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''===
In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', Star Bits are collected when defeating an enemy and in various other locations throughout the game. They are used to level up [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Sparks]]. Orange Star Bits appear among the six colors from the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' series. In an update, the Star Bits can be seen being shot at the Sparks' mouths when feeding them, similar to how [[Hungry Luma]]s and [[Lumalee]]s are fed.
