What Star Bits means in its world
Star Bits make the Galaxy games feel like a scavenger hunt with a practical payoff. They are gathered by aiming the Wii Remote at crystals, enemies and scenery, then collected into a shared count for Mario and Luigi.
Their clearest use is feeding a Hungry Luma, which can transform into a new planet or route when given the requested amount. Firing a Star Bit at certain enemies can also stun them long enough to create an opening.
