The '''Giant Star Bit''' is a semi-common item in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are giant, blue [[Star Bits]] with a strange spiky white crystal structure in them. They are most commonly seen floating in space on a [[Launch Star|Launch Star's]] path. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] fly through the path with the item, they smash the Giant Star Bit into six separate Star Bits that circle around him and can be collected.

'''Star Piece Clusters''' are semi-common items in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They consist of big blue [[Star Bit]]s with spiky white crystal structures in them. They appear more often in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' than in its predecessor. They are most commonly seen floating in space directly in the path of a [[Launch Star]]. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] flies through the path, he smashes right through the Star Piece Cluster, releasing multiple separate Star Bits that circle around him and can be collected with the [[Star Pointer]] until he lands on the next planet.


In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Giant Star Bits are sometimes found on the ground, but this is rare. They are so rare that they are only found in the [[Melty Monster Galaxy]] and can be destroyed by being hit by Boulder Mario or Luigi after grabbing a [[Rock Mushroom]] at the start of the level. However, for some reason these Giant Star Bits only produce four Star Bits. These Giant Star Bits can also be broken by the [[Co-Star Luma]].
In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', '''Star Piece Cluster Rocks''' can sometimes be found floating just above the ground, though this is extremely rare, as this happens only during [[A Stroll Down Rolling Lane|one mission]] in the [[Melty Monster Galaxy]]. In this mission, the Star Piece Cluster Rocks will be destroyed if they are hit by [[Rock Mario]] or Rock Luigi. Star Piece Cluster Rocks produce only four Star Bits when broken. These clusters can also be broken by the [[Co-Star Luma]]'s spin.


Three Giant Star Bits appear on the [[World Map]], one in World 1 and two in World 2. The [[Starship Mario]] can break these just by touching them as well. They seem to have a yellow spiky crystal in them and release eight Star Bits.
It is also possible to break a Star Piece Cluster by using Mario or Luigi's [[spin|Star-Spin]]. To do this, he must go to the [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]], choose the [[Head in the Clouds|first mission]], grab a [[Cloud Flower]], and traverse through until he reaches the highest cymbal next to the Launch Star while having one carrying three clouds. At this point, there is a Star Piece Cluster in the Launch Star's path. The player must try to reach the Star Piece Cluster by creating clouds at the peak of their [[Backward Somersault|backward somersault]]s towards the Star Crystal. Even though the [[jump]]s may not be high enough, the last backward somersault can reach the Star Piece Cluster. At the peak of the last somersault, the player must star-spin at the Star Piece Cluster; the Star Piece Cluster breaks and Star Bits follow the player.


==Trivia==
Three Star Piece Clusters also appear on the World Map: one near the end of [[World 1 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 1]], and two at the beginning of [[World 2 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 2]]. The player can maneuver [[Starship Mario]] into these Star Piece Clusters in order to break them and release the Star Bits inside. These Star Piece Clusters appear to have a spiky yellow crystal inside them, and they release eight Star Bits when broken.
*In the Galaga Remix in Namco Museum Megamix, there are large floating objects in space that resemble Giant Star Bits. They award the player points.

Star Piece Clusters are semi-common items in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They consist of big blue Star Bits with spiky white crystal structures in them. They appear more often in Super Mario Galaxy 2 than in its predecessor. They are most commonly seen floating in space directly in the path of a Launch Star. When Mario or Luigi flies through the path, he smashes right through the Star Piece Cluster, releasing multiple separate Star Bits that circle around him and can be collected with the Star Pointer until he lands on the next planet.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Star Piece Cluster Rocks can sometimes be found floating just above the ground, though this is extremely rare, as this happens only during one mission in the Melty Monster Galaxy. In this mission, the Star Piece Cluster Rocks will be destroyed if they are hit by Rock Mario or Rock Luigi. Star Piece Cluster Rocks produce only four Star Bits when broken. These clusters can also be broken by the Co-Star Luma's spin.

It is also possible to break a Star Piece Cluster by using Mario or Luigi's Star-Spin. To do this, he must go to the Cloudy Court Galaxy, choose the first mission, grab a Cloud Flower, and traverse through until he reaches the highest cymbal next to the Launch Star while having one carrying three clouds. At this point, there is a Star Piece Cluster in the Launch Star's path. The player must try to reach the Star Piece Cluster by creating clouds at the peak of their backward somersaults towards the Star Crystal. Even though the jumps may not be high enough, the last backward somersault can reach the Star Piece Cluster. At the peak of the last somersault, the player must star-spin at the Star Piece Cluster; the Star Piece Cluster breaks and Star Bits follow the player.

Three Star Piece Clusters also appear on the World Map: one near the end of World 1, and two at the beginning of World 2. The player can maneuver Starship Mario into these Star Piece Clusters in order to break them and release the Star Bits inside. These Star Piece Clusters appear to have a spiky yellow crystal inside them, and they release eight Star Bits when broken.
