[[Image:Sliiiiiiiingstar.JPG|thumb|right|A Sling Star in [[Sea Slide Galaxy]]]]A '''Sling Star''' is a miniature [[Launch Star]] item found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Like Launch Stars, they give [[Mario]] boosts into the air. However, these don't send Mario flying into space with power. They simple give him a small fling into the air to reach other platforms and areas.

'''Sling Stars''' are objects in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. These miniature [[Launch Star]]s give [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) boosts into the air. However, these do not send Mario flying into space; they give him a small fling into the air to reach other nearby [[platform]]s, other nearby planets, and other areas. Sometimes, there are Sling Stars that throw Mario up to a higher Launch Star, while other times, the Sling Stars bounce Mario to other nearby planets instead of ones farther away, where a Launch Star would not be needed. Sometimes a Sling Star flings the player into the air, revealing rings of [[Star Bit]]s, before returning the player to the planet.

In some situations, there will be Sling Stars that will throw Mario up to a higher Launch Star, so he can use that to go to another planet; in other situations, the Sling Stars will bounce Mario to other nearby planets instead of farther away ones.

Sling Stars are objects in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. These miniature Launch Stars give Mario (or Luigi) boosts into the air. However, these do not send Mario flying into space; they give him a small fling into the air to reach other nearby platforms, other nearby planets, and other areas. Sometimes, there are Sling Stars that throw Mario up to a higher Launch Star, while other times, the Sling Stars bounce Mario to other nearby planets instead of ones farther away, where a Launch Star would not be needed. Sometimes a Sling Star flings the player into the air, revealing rings of Star Bits, before returning the player to the planet.
