How to Get Star Bits Quickly
All galaxies have Star Bits throughout the levels, and in many of them, more Star Bits fall from the sky. The easiest way to collect a lot of them is to replay a level that you feel comfortable with over and over while collecting the bits as you go.
You can collect them with any control scheme, but the easiest in my own opinion is playing in handheld mode.
In this mode, you can simply swipe across the screen to collect the Bits. This is often much easier than aiming the Star Cursor with the controller to collect them.
Keep in mind that you can even collect Star Bits with this method even when they are very far away from Mario on the screen. Even if you see tiny bits sparkling far in the distance, you can still swipe them on the screen to grab them.
By doing this through a level that you’ve played before and feel comfortable with, you should be able to end up with hundreds of Bits in a matter of minutes.
Note that you can only have up to 999 Star Bits at once time, so once you hit that, you must exit the level to add them to your collective total.
That’s everything you need to know about how to get Star Bits quickly and what they do in Super Mario Galaxy. Be sure to check back with Twinfinite for more guides on Super Mario Galaxy and the other games included with the Super Mario 3D All Stars collection.
