I've been trying to collect as many stars as I can before moving onto the next world in Super Mario Galaxy 2. I'm up to World 4, but in Boulder Bowl Galaxy on World 2 there is a hidden star that is still eluding me.

What actions do I need to do to locate this star? If its availability is caused by an in game event what do I need to do to trigger the in game event?

There's a star you can only earn after getting a message at the Mailtoad from one of the robots with the gear heads. After that you'll be able to meet him in the galaxy, he'll want you to lure a Gooma over to him. So, I guess keep playing and come back later.

It could be coincidence, but I got the message after collecting the first star in Chompworks Galaxy in World 4 – Steve Bosman Jul 9 '10 at 8:36

When you select the level, do you see a question mark over one of the stars? If not, you can't get the hidden star yet. If you do, that means it's hidden somewhere in that star's configuration.
