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

  • @SteveBosman The first star of Chompworks is indeed the requirement for this message (from my experience, and as noted in the Japanese-language Shogakukan guidebook).

After you get the letter from the Golden Gearmo, you have to go the planet with the boulders and Chomps, break the rock spikes by rolling into them. A Goomba will come of one. Lead it to the Golden Gearmo. He will thank you with a Power Star.
