None of them are difficult really if you've played it before. But, for the first play through I'd say the sunken boat treasure chest puzzle. You're gonna die at least once getting zapped and losing air.

I recently got 120 stars and the only one I needed to look up was getting a fast time on the princess secret slide.
In hindsight it was pretty obvious, when you go back and do it again there's a time trial clock added. I was feeling mentally fatigued at 119 stars and I wanted it to be over with so I looked it up.
I actually specifically went back to that stage and was doing weird things like trying to jump on one of the side pillars thinking there might be a hidden star there. I didn't think to just finish it faster.

100 coin stars. They're not difficult on every level obviously, but any of the levels where you can die more easily like Shifting Sand Land or Tik Tok Clock are the biggest pains in the ass ever. It's already a pretty unfun and tedious task to begin with but the real problem is that since you're scavenging every inch of the level for every coin, rather than just making a beeline to a star, you suddenly become a lot more vulnerable to the games many shortcomings. Missed ledge grabs, janky collision, hitting invisible walls, it's always during the 100 coin stars when I run into this stuff the most and I start realizing the game, just maybe, isn't as perfect as everyone says it is.

the 100 coin star in Rainbow Ride, it's especially hard because you pretty much to get the blue coins (IIRC)

I had this game the day it came out. I beat the game in 3 days. It took me a week to get the 120th star. The last star was the one in Cool, Cool Mountain with the snowman head. I had no idea that it would follow where Mario was so I was always waiting on the side for it to hit the platform and it never did, well until it did by accident. That's the hardest one.

for me it was always the red coins in the wing cap stage, the one in the clock room across from rainbow ride. controlling the cap is just a pain in the ass. fuck that star to death

The only one that sticks out in my mind as particularly painful is 100 coins in Hazy Maze Cave, but that's might be more due to tedium.

Rainbow ride is the only level I remember giving me any real trouble. There was also one level where getting 100 coins was a BITCH since there were no more than 100 coins total(most had well over), but I don't remember which one.

100 coins on max speed in tick tock clock.

Big Boo's Balcony was a tough one. I spent so much time outside the house just looking at the stupid boo on the balcony trying to figure out how I could possibly get up there.

Not a star, but I was trying to get every coin in every level and I got walled hard by two levels. Hazy Maze Cave and Lethal Lava Land. I did eventually get them all in Hazy Maze Cave after hundreds of tries but I could not do LLL, that shit is impossible. I gave up the challenge after that.

big bob-omb on the summit. you can throw him off the tower as often as you want but he just won't die

Chain Chomp in Bob-omb Battlefield. There's nothing telling you how to get it. One guy got it by accident and spread the word.
The only reason it's not considered a bullshit star is how easy it is to stumble on the solution online.

"Blast Away the Wall" is probably the most impossible star to figure out on your own without any outside help or prior knowledge of the star.
