In [[Super Mario Galaxy#Co-Star Mode|Co-Star Mode]], '''P2's Pointer'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' instruction booklet|page=5|date=2010|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> appears. This cursor is orange, and it allows a second player to perform all the tasks that the first player's pointer can, along with some that it cannot. For instance, it can manipulate the environment and freeze enemy movement to aid the first player as needed. Both players' pressing the {{button|wii|A}} button at the same time allows Mario or Luigi to perform the [[Co-Star Super Jump]], as explained by the in-game instructions on how to use Co-Star Mode on the file-selection screen of ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Unlike the first player's pointer, P2's Pointer begins to spin when it is positioned over an object, [[list of items|item]], [[list of characters|character]], or enemy in the environment that it can affect in some way. | In [[Super Mario Galaxy#Co-Star Mode|Co-Star Mode]], '''P2's Pointer'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' instruction booklet|page=5|date=2010|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> appears.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', the Star Pointer has essentially the same functionality as it does in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', with some minor differences. For instance, the Star Pointer is replaced by a small red dot while the player rides [[Yoshi]]; while the player cannot shoot Star Bits as long as this dot is present, they can still collect Star Bits and point at enemies or [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|fruits]] that Yoshi can eat to produce Star Bits, as well as [[Flower (grapple)|flower]]s that he can grapple on with his tongue. Additionally, in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''{{'}}s Co-Star Mode, the second player's orange Star Pointer is effectively used to control the [[Co-Star Luma]], which performs actions along with the Star Pointer where the Star Pointer itself would perform the actions in ''Super Mario Galaxy''{{'}}s Co-Star Mode. For instance, when holding an enemy back, instead of the player simply stopping the enemy's movement with the Star Pointer, the Co-Star Luma now flies to the location of the Star Pointer and visibly holds on to the enemy to stop its movement.
