You must have 60 or more stars to do this. Don't worry, it would not be gone forever!
a new number will appear on the floor next to Rosalina. If you do this AT 60 stars, at 61, the number would say, "59".

Caution: When you just got Luigi, the star count would drop to zero on Luigi so you can do it all over with Luigi!

Question

Can Mario and Luigi play as a team?

Community Answer

No. This game is single player with the exception of a Luma helper (as P2) who can make Mario jump and collect Star Bits.

Question

The tip about playing as Luigi says to defeat Bowser at 60 stars, then defeat him again once you get all 120 stars. If you can play as Luigi once you get all 120 stars, why fight him at 60 stars?

Community Answer

I don't think it matters whether you fight Bowser before getting all the stars or not. As long as you have 120 stars when you defeat him, you'll get Luigi.

Luigi is the same as Mario, except he jumps higher and runs slower. However, the Cosmic races are harder and Luigi has a hard time stopping.

Since Luigi can't stop as fast as Mario, jumping across small platforms can be tough if you can slide off, so take them nice and steady.
