''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' is the first game in which Grand Stars appear. All of them are stolen by [[Bowser]] to be used for his own evil ambitions. As [[Mario]] recovers them, he gradually gains access to different parts of [[Rosalina]]'s Comet Observatory due to the Grand Stars being the power source of the Comet Observatory's [[Beacon]], which in turn sustains all life onboard the observatory. As each Grand Star is found, a path to the next dome is created. Counting the Grand Star obtained from clearing [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], it is only required to obtain 6 of the 7 Grand Stars to complete the game. It is possible to completely skip the Grand Star from the [[Engine Room]], as [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]] can be unlocked as soon as the previous dome is cleared, provided the player has 60 [[Power Star]]s. | ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' is the first game in which Grand Stars appear.

Grand Stars make another appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the 2010 sequel to ''Super Mario Galaxy''. In this game, the Grand Stars are once again under the control of [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] This time around, Grand Stars restore power to [[Starship Mario]], and also create the [[Portal]]s leading from one World to the next. In addition to this, the Grand Stars in this game are apparently responsible for [[Bowser#Size|Bowser's enormous size]], as he has eaten them to make himself considerably larger. After [[Mario]] defeats one of Bowser Jr.'s machines or henchmen, it will explode and release a Grand Star. After Mario defeats Bowser, he will cough up a Grand Star and shrink to his normal size. During the final battle in [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]], he is actually able to swallow the Grand Star again, making himself a great deal larger than he had been and leading to the final segment of the battle. Interestingly, the Grand Stars seem to have a side effect when misused, one that causes Bowser to become extremely tiny after the final battle, as seen in the end credits of the game. [[Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla]] is the only galaxy in the game where, if Mario accepts the help of the [[Cosmic Spirit]], the Grand Star will turn into a [[Bronze Star|Bronze Grand Star]]. | Grand Stars make another appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the 2010 sequel to ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
