Stars

Stars are earnable by playing as different characters in the game. Each character has 3 stars to earn, depending on how well you do on their course. A 1 star rating should be relatively easy to get, a 2 star rating should be fairly difficult, and a 3 star rating should be very difficult. Different characters have different requirements for getting stars based on their Play Style.

Getting stars also rewards you with coins, which you can use in the Swingorm Machine to unlock more characters!

There are also Achievements for unlocking stars.

You can see the total number of stars you have been awarded at the top right of the scoring screen, or on the bottom left on the character select screen.
