The starman in NSMB is a rainbow star, it makes you have that rainbow effect. I call it rainbow Mario. Sonic wishes he was that fast.

The official site for NSMB(DS) clearly calls the item a Starman. Interestingly enough, the NSMB Wii site simply calls its parallel a "Super Star". The Rainbow Star only appears in Super Mario Galaxy, and its only distinction it has from the Star/Super Star/Starman is that the star is multicolored, rather than simply flashing different colors.

It's a new version of the star, it makes you have rainbow effects and run faster (or accelerate faster). It is the rainbow version the super star and therefore to separate it from the regular star it is easier to refer to it as a rainbow star as well.

^ That's like saying that the red Mushrooms from Super Mario 64 DS should be called Mega Mushrooms, even though they clearly resemble the standard Super Mushrooms, and are called the latter in the game's manual.

However the super mushrooms are clearly stated what they. The stars are slightly different in many games and are called different names.

Except I already proved that they were named otherwise in the two NSMBs, and can do so for any other game besides SMG.

If this game was harder it'd be perfect.

Have you played multiplayer. That always makes it harder for me. Also, 9-7.

Seeing as 98% of the global human population sucks at traditional Mario platformers, multiplayer makes things more frustrating than challenging. 9-7 contends as the second- or third-hardest level in my opinion, with 9-6 being the toughest.

jdaster64 · « **Reply #613 on:** April 08, 2010, 04:36:10 PM »

9-6 wasn't that bad, especially alone. 9-7 was brutal, though, and 7-6 is a nightmare with multiple players.

9-7 is the only level I'm still missing star coins in. 9-6 was tough, but once you learn the timing it's not too bad. I used a propeller suit to get the last star coin though. On the other hand, 9-7 doesn't let you slow down for long so there's not much time to think about timing your moves.
