A Comet Medal from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Comet Medals are large golden medals that first appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their design is similar to a white octahedron-shaped coin with a golden Prankster Comet embroidered on them. When Mario and Luigi obtain these items in a galaxy, Prankster Comets appear in the galaxy, allowing special stars to be earned. There is one comet medal in each galaxy, and these medals can only be found in the first mission. A similar collectible called a Star Medal appears in Super Mario 3D Land.
Locations[]
The Great Space Journey Begins[]

Trivia[]
A beta Comet Medal as seen in Bowser's Lava Lair.
- In the beta stages of the game, the Star imprinted on the Comet Medal lacked eyes. Additionally, the star had a slightly different shape.
- When a collected Comet Medal is recollected, it will still be added to the total Comet Medal count as seen in the Pause Menu. This Comet Medal will be subtracted from the total count once the mission has been completed or exited.
- This makes it possible to effectively possess a total of 50 Comet Medals (temporarily).
