This probably doesn't help, but I never found that Star particulary harder then the other Purple Coin Stars.
Anyways, remember that's there's 150 Purple Coins, so you don't need all of them. Keep moving forward, don't waste time back tracking for one of two coins you missed. Try and make a huge circle that ends back at where you started. (and where the star appears) And if you've gotten a second player, they can use a second Wii Remote to freeze the green platforms and stop them from shrinking for a short time.
EDIT: Also long jumps were really useful for when I did this one. You cover more ground faster, and can get out of nasty corners with greater ease.
