'''Big Stars''' are [[Star]]s that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are found only in the [[Mario vs. Luigi]] mode, and a set number of Big Stars must be collected to win. Whenever a new Big Star is collected, everything in the [[level]] is reset. 
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', an item called a '''Big Star''' can be found in "Mario vs. Luigi" mode (a two player DS-to-DS version of the game). In order for a player to win, they must collect the set amount of Big Stars required to win that stage.  


In the settings for the game, the host player decides how many Big Stars are required to win the battle. The options are 3, 5, and 10. Also, at the top of the upper screen, the number of Big Stars a player has is displayed above their character. When a player is one Star away from winning, the Stars in the Star counter start pulsing and the music plays faster until a Star is lost or the last Star is collected. The locations of the Big Stars are seen on the Touch Screen.
In the settings for the game, the host player will decide how many Big Stars are required to win the battle. Also at the top of the upper screen, the amount of Big Stars a player has is displayed above his or her character.


One Big Star at a time appears in the level until it is collected. After players have collected at least one Big Star, players can make each other drop Big Stars (if they have any) by [[jump]]ing on them, hitting a [[block]] when the other is standing on top of it, or attacking them with a [[fireball]], [[shell dash]], etc. Players can drop Big Stars by touching an enemy, falling into a [[pit|bottomless pit]], or getting crushed by walls. [[Ground Pound|Ground-pound]]ing or [[Drill Spin|drill-spin]]ning into a player can make that player drop three Big Stars. If a Big Star is dropped, it starts bouncing around until it is collected, falls into a bottomless pit, or disappears. Collecting a player's Star does not reset the level. [[Silver Star]]s have similar movements, but there are five in every level.
One player can make the other player drop Big Stars in order for them to get ahead. According to the instruction book, a player can do the following to make the other player drop his or her Big Star.
