Super Mario Galaxy 2 is inherently more of a grind than its predecessor. Both games require collecting 9,999 Star Bits for true 100% completion, but only Super Mario Galaxy 2 requires collecting 9,999 coins – its predecessor doesn’t keep score of your total collected coins. Coins are generally much more difficult to farm than Star Bits because if you lose a life during a level, you lose all of your collected coins up until that point (whereas you keep your Star Bits). Fortunately, there’s a very easy coin farming method in Super Mario Galaxy 2 that will get you well over 500 coins within a matter of minutes. Just don’t lose a life!
