Run Categories

61-star (Any%)

  • Target: 2-2.5 hours (segmented); 2.5-3 hours (single-segment)

Bowser's Galaxy Reactor requires a minimum of 60 stars to enter, and unlike in Mario 64, the Grand Star from defeating Bowser counts in the star total. Times will be faster for segmented runs due to possible luck manipulation for desired comets. Requires careful route planning to find the most efficient stars possible.

  • Reference video: 7:58:36(input)segmented by MOKURENN91 (not 100% legitimate; contains a large amount of video manipulation)

Requires beating the game twice. Fifteen purple coin collect-a-thons don't appear until Bowser's Galaxy Reactor has been cleared. After collecting all 120 stars, defeating Bowser again unlocks Luigi as a playable character.

121-star New Game+

  • Target: Under 7 hours
  • Total star bits needed: 6370

In this category, we start with Luigi immediately after unlocking him, and collect all 120 stars with him. We unlock the Grand Finale Galaxy and complete it. This prevents repetition in collecting all 120 stars twice in a single run, and shortens the run's length to a reasonable time frame.

General Tricks

  • Getting the most out of jumps: Long jumps, backflips, sideflips, wall jumps, and triple jumps are used for countless major and minor timesavers in this game. You can always boost yourself a little bit by adding a spin at the end of a jump.
    • To get the best boost from a spin, hold the A button while spinning and you will go higher than normal.
    • Spins can be used in practically any jump trick. This wiki may tend to omit spins from jump trick explanations, assuming that the reader will know to add spins whenever more height or distance is needed.
    • Sideflips give about the same height as backflips do, though backflips can give more horizontal distance. Though this wiki may usually favor backflips, sideflips and backflips can be used interchangeably if jump height is the only concern. Sideflips are harder to execute than backflips, but sometimes doing a sideflip instead of a backflip will save time because you don't have to stop running to do a sideflip.
    • Triple jumps offer more height than backflips and sideflips. Sometimes the terrain will make it difficult to time your second and third jumps, but you can often just repeatedly tap A while running to perform a triple jump.
    • To get the most height out of a wall jump trick, spin before the wall jump as well as after the wall jump. Make sure you're not right against the wall when you spin, though, or you may deflect off of the wall without getting a spin boost. In many cases, a triple jump + spin + wall jump + spin combo will be the highest jump in your repertoire. However, a backflip + spin + wall jump + spin is easier, and sufficient for most jump tricks.
  • Cosmic Race Speed Boost: When racing cosmic Mario/Luigi, hold the analog stick up before the race starts and keep it up there until the timer reaches 0. Then crouch with Z when the timer reaches 2 and hit A when the race begins to gain a speed boost.
  • Slope Climbing: It is possible to ascend slopes Mario/Luigi would usually slide down. (Example video to be added.) To do this, you must first begin sliding down the slope while facing forward (in the sitting position). The best way to ensure you're facing the correct direction is to back flip onto the slope. Once you begin sliding, jump in the direction you're sliding, then immediately use your spin attack in the air while holding back the opposite direction. This technique will seem a little counterintuitive at first, because you must start by jumping in the "wrong" direction, but if you don't have forward momentum when you jump, you'll be unable to use your spin attack. In summary, the order of input should be as follows: hold forward (while sliding), jump (while still holding forward), spin attack and simultaneously switch to holding back, repeat as necessary. (Forward refers to the direction you're sliding, back refers to the opposite direction). You can also climb some slopes by spinning while running up them, as seen at the beginning of this video.
  • Homing Stomp: Mario and Luigi can perform a homing attack that will automatically target nearby enemies. To perform this technique, jump and use a midair spin attack. Before the spin attack has completed its animation, press Z to use your stomp attack. If your timing was right, you'll hear a different sound effect, and Mario/Luigi's landing will look different than it does after a normal stomp. If used close to an enemy, the stomp should home in on them. While this move could occasionally be useful in combat, its most interesting property is that it also targets NPCs such as the Toads. Frequently after bouncing off of an NPC's head this way, you will receive a significant horizontal boost, sometimes even greater than that of a long jump. One application of it is this
  • Spin Attack Delay Reset: Spinning on the ground and then quickly jumping will reset the spin cooldown timer, so you can spin again immediately.
  • Scroll through text quickly: Hold the A button to scroll through speech text more quickly than normal.
  • Timing of moving elements: What to know about enemies, platforms, and other level elements that move:
    • Cutscene skips: skipping (or not skipping) the cutscenes after selecting a star will affect the timing of moving elements. This means that strategies may be adjusted depending on whether you are playing a full speedrun (where cutscenes can't be skipped) or an individual-level speedrun (where cutscenes may be skipped). Examples: spike panels and electric wires in Painting the Planet Yellow, penguins in Passing the Swim Test, Tox Boxes in The Secret Undersea Cavern.
    • Draw distance: some moving elements will not move at all when they are far away or offscreen. In some levels, this means that when you want to practice a timed element in a level, you don't have to worry about speedrun mistakes that were made earlier in the level. Examples: boulders on the second planet in Dino Piranha (they'll start moving when you're at the top of the launch star tower), thwomps in The Fiery Stronghold. In other levels, turning the camera toward enemies (to let them move) or away from enemies (to stop them) can be part of the speedrun strategy. Examples: Torpedo Teds in Buoy Base, eels in Giant Eel Outbreak.

Comet Stars

Prankster Comets begin to appear after 13 stars have been collected.

Every "star 4" comet mission has a prerequisite mission that must be completed in order for it to appear:

  1. Dino Piranha Speed Run - Dino Piranha
  2. Honeyhive Cosmic Mario Race - Trouble on the Tower
  3. Pull Star Path Speed Run - Pull Star Path
  4. Topmaniac's Daredevil Run - Topmaniac and the Topman Tribe
  5. Fast Foes on the Cyclone Stone - The Secret Undersea Cavern
  6. Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run - Beware of Bouldergeist
  7. Major Burrows' Daredevil Run - Gusty Garden's Gravity Scramble
  8. Frosty Cosmic Mario Race - The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr
  9. Sandblast Speed Run - Blasting through the Sand
  10. Cosmic Mario Forest Race - When It Rains, It Pours
  11. Underwater Cosmic Mario Race - Going After Guppy
  12. Fast Foes of Toy Time - The Flipswitch Chain
  13. Ghost Ship Daredevil Run - Bubble Blastoff
  14. Topman Tribe Speed Run - Revenge of the Topman Tribe
  15. Lava Spire Daredevil Run - Through the Meteor Storm


  • Comet patterns will only advance when a star is completed. It doesn't matter which star is completed.
  • Before completing "The Fate of the Universe", each dome can only have one comet in orbit at a time (or zero if no comets are available). Terrace comets will only appear after odd-numbered stars (after the 13th star, after the 15th star, etc.). Comets in the other 5 domes will only appear after even-numbered stars (after the 14th star, etc.).
  • Purple coin comets appear after completing "The Fate of the Universe." They become available in one of the 15 main courses once stars 1 and 2 have been collected in that galaxy. (To do: add more details about comet patterns after Purple comets appear.)

Luigi Stars

There are three Luigi stars:

  1. Good Egg Galaxy - Luigi on the Roof
  2. Battlerock Galaxy - Luigi under the Saucer
  3. Honeyhive Galaxy - Luigi in the Honeyhive Kingdom

They must be completed in this order, and with gaps of at least five non-Luigi stars in between each. The first Luigi mission is unlocked upon completing Ghostly Galaxy's "Luigi and the Haunted Mansion."
