Question about playing SMG preference.

Do you think it's better to collect all the stars while you'reinthat particular area, or just gothrough the game and forget about the stars until the end and come back? I know it doesnt matter, but which is your preference?

I get every star in an area before leaving (except for the comet stars, since they're random). I've done that ever since Mario 64. I guess I know from the start that I'm working for all 120 stars, so I figure I might as well get them all while I'm in the area.JordanElek

yeah, i'd do the same thing. Cuz if i leave the area, my mind felt like saying, "go back until u get all the stars!"

I haven't played Galaxy yet, so I only can base it on Mario 64 and Sunshine.

In Mario 64, I usually stuck with one level as much as I could unless if I got really stuck on certain stars or if I get sick of a level and want a change of scenery. In Sunshine, I usually switched levels a lot more often, although there was still a level that I focused on more than the others at different times of the game. With Galaxy, I'll probably do what I did in Mario 64, going through one galaxy unless if I get stuck on a star or if I get sick of a galaxy.
