While some Bonus Stars are random, others can be influenced. If you're neck and neck with an opponent in Stars, try to win more minigames for the Minigame Star, or collect more coins for the Coin Star. Towards the end of the game, if you have a strong lead, consider using more items or landing on more Event Spaces to secure those respective Bonus Stars.

- Minigame Focus: Prioritize winning minigames if the Minigame Star is contested.
- Coin Hoarding: Collect as many coins as possible if the Coin Star is within reach.
- Event Space Strategy: Aim for Event Spaces if you're close to the Event Star.
- Item Spree: Use many items if the Item Star is a possibility.
