Infinite Star Bits
In the Sling Pod Galaxy stage, advance until you reach the checkpoint. Continue from there and you'll find a location just ahead of the star where you can collect around 100 star bits. Do so, then die. When you resume from the checkpoint, you'll find that you can collect the bits again, as often as you like until you have 999 bits. Then grab the star and clear the stage. Repeat the process as often as you like, until you have the maximum number of star bits the game allows.
