The '''Star Pointer''',<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' English instruction booklet, page 6.</ref> also called the '''pointer'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' English instruction booklet, page 6.</ref> or '''Cursor''',<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Beginners'' DVD, Pointing at the Screen.</ref> is a cursor that appears on the screen in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Its position is controlled by the wireless motion sensitivity of the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]], so the player can move it around the screen by aiming the Wii Remote at different angles. In the ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' version, the Star Pointer is controlled via the [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Con]]/[[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Pro Controller|Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]]'s motion controls in TV and tabletop mode and the touchscreen in handheld mode. In the former mode, it can be activated/reset by pressing {{button|switch|R}}. The Star Pointer enables the player to perform a variety of actions, including collecting [[Star Bit]]s, shooting Star Bits at [[List of enemies|enemies]] to stun them, activating [[Pull Star]]s, and controlling [[Sling Pod]]s. The player is able to collect large numbers of Star Bits at once simply by moving the Star Pointer over them. When the Star Pointer is used to activate Pull Stars, it temporarily changes to a hand icon, and it changes back when there are no more Pull Stars to grab. It serves an important role in a few [[Galaxy|galaxies]] centered around the [[bubble]], including the [[Bubble Breeze Galaxy]] and the [[Bubble Blast Galaxy]]; after [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) has entered a bubble, the Star Pointer acts as a wind blower to propel the bubble along. | The '''Star Pointer''',<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' English instruction booklet, page 6.</ref> also called the '''pointer'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' English instruction booklet, page 6.</ref> or '''Cursor''',<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Beginners'' DVD, Pointing at the Screen.</ref> is a cursor that appears on the screen in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.
