How Many Stars Are There in Super Mario Galaxy?

There are 121 stars for players to collect as they planet hop their way to saving the day as Mario once more. That being said, you only need to collect 60 Stars to unlock the final boss battle against Bowser, officially ending the story of the game.

For earning 120 Stars scattered throughout the various galaxies, players will then have to speak to Rosalina and beat Bowser again. After the credits finish, you’ll receive a message saying that Luigi is now a playable character.
