The Star Cursor is a cursor that appears on the screen in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. This star-shaped cursor enables Mario and Luigi to do many things, including grabbing Star Bits, stunning enemies by shooting Star Bits, activating Pull Stars, and controlling Sling Pods. When it is used to activate Pull Stars, the Star Cursor will temporarily change to a hand icon, and will change back when there are no more Pull Stars to grab. It is taken advantage of in many of the Bubble Blowing galaxies, including the Bubble Breeze Galaxy and the Bubble Blast Galaxy, where it acts as a wind blower to move the bubble along.
