I'm at 51 stars, I take things very easy, slow and enjoy every second of it, not brag about like others here of how fast they've beaten the game. I have one question for which I only like to have a simple yes or no, NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!

Those glowing plants in certain galaxies are they useful for anything?

Like I said only a simple yes or no, thanks ;) 

Yes the flowers do something.  Spoiler: Try shooting star bits at them.  A coin will pop-out.

I beat the game tonight with 120 stars.  Took me nearly exactly 20 hours total.

For what its worth, Ice Mario is by far my favorite as skating is awesome and the world where I first encountered him was incredibly fun the hidden star wiht the water falls.  I can't stand Bee Mario since he can't do any specials jump, particularly wall jumping.  Diving out of water like a dolphin with the spin attack is pretty awesome too, I just wish it was useful in some way : (.

Has anyone managed to beat a stage with a "high score" of over 100 coins?  I doubt anything happens other than another 1-up in game, but I'm curious.  The 100-coin stars were my favorite in Mario64 : (.   Just for nostalgia's sake I'd like to try to do it.  Any recommendations on a stage to try?

I've got a star with over 100 coins. Like star bits, you get a 1-up for each 50 coins, but apart from that, nothing happens.

It was the ghost galaxy in the garden, if you're wondering where I did it.
