The '''star stage'''<ref>{{cite|quote=In the star stage, hold {{button|A}} to float upward and release it to float downward.|language=en|title=''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' Virtual Console digital manual, tab 12 (Mario's Special Forms)}}</ref> is the second level of the [[Space Zone]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. [[Tatanga]] is fought at the end of this level.

==Layout==
The first half of the level consists of angry [[star (enemy)|star]]s which act as spikes, with [[coin]]s that guide [[Mario]] through. Some stars also move horizontally or vertically. After a while, there is a [[? Block]] with a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]] atop it. After navigating more angry stars, Mario reaches another ? Block with a [[Fire Flower]] inside. After this, angry stars start appearing in patterns, with another ? Block which contains another Fire Flower. There are also a few [[Tosenbo]] in this level which start to appear. The next angry stars form the shape of an eye, with a large group of coins in the center. Once Mario makes it to the end of a narrow star passage, there are more angry stars spread out, with two ? Blocks nearby. There are then three rows of ? Blocks, with the [[Bell (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|Mid-Point Bell]] just after.

The last angry stars in this level are in tight formations, with a block along the way with another Mushroom on top. The last Tosenbo is also in this star maze. At the end is a ? Block containing a Fire Flower, followed by the [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] which takes Mario to the battle with [[Tatanga]].
