Obtaining a sparkling 5-star save file in Super Mario 3D World is fairly time-consuming and challenging. This guide will show players how they can get it. The game recently released its Nintendo Switch port and has allowed millions of players to play the game for the very first time. When it initially released on the Wii U, the game was highly praised, but the Wii U itself was a failing console with a limited install base. The Nintendo Switch has gone beyond the Wii U in terms of consoles sold, meaning an entirely new generation of players is experiencing the cat-filled adventure that is Super Mario 3D World. This game is insanely high standards for those looking to 100% it. This guide will show players how they can unlock the sparkling 5-star save file.

The sparkling 5-star save file is the hardest thing to obtain in the game. Each star represents a landmark the players reach. When players beat the base game, they are given a single star on their save file. Although to truly 100% the game, they will need to have 5 stars on the file. This is also not counting the additional Bowser’s Fury content that has made its debut on the Nintendo Switch version of the game. That is completely separate from what needs to be done from the base game. Here is how players can unlock all 5 stars on their save files.

How To Unlock The Sparkling 5-Star Save File in Super Mario 3D World

Each star has its own goal that needs to be completed to obtain them. Here is how players can get each star individually.

  • Star 1: The player must defeat Meowser in World 8.
  • Star 2: The player must collect every Green Star in every world.
  • Star 3: The player must collect every stamp in every world.
  • Star 4: The player must reach the top of the flag pole in every level with every character. Since there are 5 characters, players will need to beat the game at least twice. It’s recommended to play with friends since this is the most challenging and time-consuming star to collect.
  • Star 5: The player will need to complete the 3 World Crown levels with every character.

As for the sparkly on the logo, the player just needs to never use the Invincibility Leaf power-up. This is only given to players if they are truly struggling with a level. Complete all of these tasks to truly 100% Super Mario 3D World.

Super Mario 3D World is available now on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Wii U.
