Star Get!
The Japanese Super Mario Galaxy announces "Star get!" when you get a Star, and "Grand Star get!" when you get a Grand Star. In the U.S. version, the grammar was cleaned up to read "You got a Star!" and "You got a Grand Star!" A similar change occurred in Super Mario Sunshine, where "Shine get!" was changed to "Shine!"
