'''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.
A '''Sling Star''' is a miniature [[Launch Star]] object found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Like Launch Stars, Sling Stars give [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) boosts into the air. However, these do not send Mario flying into space; they simply give him a small fling into the air to reach other nearby [[platform]]s, planets, and other areas.


In some situations, there are Sling Stars that throw Mario up to a higher Launch Star, so he can use that to go to another planet; 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 simply flings the player into the air, revealing rings of [[Star Bit]]s, and then the player is quickly brought back from the planet.

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.
