In multiplayer [[Super Mario Galaxy#Co-Star Mode|Co-Star Mode]], '''P2's Pointer'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' English instruction booket, page 5.</ref> appears. This cursor is orange, and allows a second player to perform all the tasks that the first player's pointer can, along with some that it cannot. For instance, it can manipulate the environment and freeze enemy movement to aid the first player as needed. Both players pressing the {{button|wii|A}} button at the same time allows Mario or Luigi to perform the [[Co-Star Super Jump]] special move, as explained by the in-game instructions on how to use Co-Star Mode on the file selection screen of ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Unlike the first player's pointer, the 2P pointer begins to spin when it is positioned over an object, [[list of items|item]], [[list of characters|character]], or enemy in the environment that it can affect in some way. | In multiplayer [[Super Mario Galaxy#Co-Star Mode|Co-Star Mode]], '''P2's Pointer'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' English instruction booket, page 5.</ref> appears.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', the Star Cursor has essentially the same functionality as it does in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', with some minor differences. For instance, the Star Cursor is replaced by a small red dot while riding [[Yoshi]]; while the player cannot shoot Star Bits as long as this dot is present, they can still collect Star Bits and point at enemies or [[Berry|berries]] that Yoshi can eat to produce Star Bits, as well as [[Flower (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|flower]]s that he can grapple on with his tongue. Additionally, in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''{{'}}s Co-Star Mode, the second player's orange Star Cursor is effectively used to control the [[Co-Star Luma]], which performs actions along with the Star Cursor where the Star Cursor itself would perform the actions in ''Super Mario Galaxy''{{'}}s Co-Star Mode. For instance, when holding an enemy back, instead of the player simply stopping the enemy's movement with the Star Cursor, the Co-Star Luma now flies to the location of the Star Cursor and visibly holds onto the enemy to stop its movement. The Star Cursor is slightly larger in this game than in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. | In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', the Star Cursor has essentially the same functionality as it does in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', with some minor differences.
