Power Stars!”

—Lubba,Super Mario Galaxy 2

AStar Barrier^[1] is an object inSuper Mario Galaxy 2. Star Barriers appear as blockades on the World Map, preventingStarship Mario from moving beyond them. The only way to get past them is to have the required number ofPower Stars, which is different for every Star Barrier. Once a Star Barrier's Power Star requirement is met, the Star Barrier starts to shine. When Starship Mario goes over it in this state, the Star Barrier permanently flattens to the same size as the other spots on the World Map, and the Star Barrier reveals all of the paths connected to it. The Star Barriers and their requirements are as follows:

Location	Stars required	Unlockable
World 1	3	Spin-Dig Galaxy and theFlip-Swap Galaxy Hungry Luma
World 1	7	Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla
World 2	16	Bowser's Lava Lair
World 3	28	Warp Pipe toBowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet
World 4	40	Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet
