Why do stars appear on my save file icon for New Super Mario Bros. Wii?
Solution 1:
There are 5 stars in total. They basically tell you how "complete" your file is.
- To get Star 1, you have to beat the game.
- To get Star 2, you have to beat every normal level.
- To get Star 3, you have to get all (207) Star Coins from the first 8 worlds.
- To get Star 4, you have to get all (24) Star Coins in World 9.
- To get Star 5, you have find every secret goal and use every warp cannon.
You can also get "sparkling stars" by beating the game without the Super Guide appearing.
