As much as I'd like to say "Here's a custom level for SMG2!", I cannot. Because it isn't. However, I can say "I've inserted another star in SMG2 in a level that already exists!". I can also say that I'll be attempting to do greater mods than this in the near future too. Yes, my aim is to create custom levels in SMG2 and distribute them for your entertainment. And if an editor is to be made, I'll have to be the one to make it, since Chadderz is busy with SZS Modifier. No doubt I'll be calling upon his assistance anyway...
But anyways. This is my Star 243 "Challenge", so to speak... and I hope some people will be willing to try and get this very annoying star :P What it involves, is going into Grandmaster Galaxy's The Perfect Run, preserving at least 2 clouds (or one if you're an epic jumper) all the way to the end, then using them to grab the star that I've placed nicely above the little house; way out of reach. This does up the challenge significantly, especially in the hammer bros section at the end, where you've effectively lost your ability to spin and have to stomp all enemies to death. Think of it like a green star for Grandmaster... ;)
Actually, at first, I was trying to put green stars in Grandmaster galaxy, but it didn't go according to plan, but I did manage to do this, so I'm quite happy :P
To try the star, you'll need a working copy of Riivolution, and presumably at least 241 of the other stars. I don't care how you get those, but to save on upload times, I won't be uploading the Riivo files :P If you have working MKW custom tracks that use Riivolution, then you'll be able to use this immediately.
The download link is here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=633O422B
All you have to do is extract to the root of your SD card, and then play on Wii with Riivo. Make sure to select The Perfect Run, as even attempting to place your cursor over the new star will freeze the Wii, so be careful. I was trying to avoid this, but with my current knowledge, this is the best I can do. (Green stars are a LOT more stable, believe me. I might do some experiments with them in other levels.)
If you want to use an ISO, try this link instead: http://www.4shared.com/file/OP7AoPPo/Star243forISO.html Use a clean ISO, insert the files you see in this ZIP into the ISO at the correct location (hint: The filenames do match.) If you encounter problems, I'm afraid I may not be able to help out. Riivolution users can also try this download if things don't work properly for them.
If you can score this extra star, your count will increase to 243, and it will be saved. If you play Galaxy 2 the normal way after obtaining the star, it will read 242 and you'll lose the star if you save. However, if you don't, and continue to use Riivolution, the 243rd star will be saved forever, if you wish :P
Have fun ;)

Methinks I know why the game freezes. It tries to load a name for the mission when circling over the star. This name doesn't exist and the game thinks "HOLY CRAP WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?" and freezes. ;)

If you haven't been notified about this yet, it IS possible with only one cloud. I have done it ;) I was lucky enough to get on top of the house and use the cloud to get it :P

@fbrgls77 Description fixed :P

I'm guessing that the green stars are more simple simply because they only have numbers, positions, and which star assigned, they have no particular name.

@Jakerooo123 That's right. It's the same basic principle with the normal stars too, the only real difference is the lack of a name. And the fact that they can be embedded within enemies and the like, where a green star cannot.
