The '''Star Ball''',<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' English instruction booklet, page 20.</ref> originally known as the '''Rolling Ball''',<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' English instruction booklet, page 19.</ref> is a large rideable ball with a [[Power Star]] in it that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is used in the [[Rolling Green Galaxy]], the [[Rolling Gizmo Galaxy]], and the last part of the [[Through the Meteor Storm|second mission]] in the [[Melty Molten Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', it is found in the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]] and the [[Rolling Coaster Galaxy]]. The Star Ball's visual appearance is similar to that of a {{wp|Super Ball}}, complete with shards of glitter suspended around the Star. In the [[Purple Coin]] mission of the Rolling Coaster Galaxy, there is a [[Purple Coin Ball|purple variant with a Purple Coin inside]]. | The '''Star Ball''',<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' English instruction booklet, page 20.</ref> originally known as the '''Rolling Ball''',<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' English instruction booklet, page 19.</ref> is a large rideable ball with a [[Power Star]] in it that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

The player can control the Star Ball by first [[jump]]ing on top of it, pointing {{button|Wii|Wiimote}} straight up, and then tilting it in a direction while trying to move at a steady pace.

Once [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) is on the Star Ball, he cannot dismount it. Mario's objective is to ride the Star Ball into a [[divot]] marked by a yellow flag, which is similar to a golf hole. To get to the flag, Mario must bypass numerous obstacles, including narrow ledges and moving [[platform]]s. Any enemies in the path of the Star Ball are crushed. Additionally, the speed at which Mario rolls affects the speed and the pitch of the background music being played. | ||
Once Mario rolls the Star Ball into the divot, the ball explodes, and the Power Star within is released. The Power Star moves itself to a flagpole found at the end of the course, where Mario must climb up in order to collect it. | Once Mario rolls the Star Ball into the divot, the ball explodes, and the Power Star within is released.
