Super Mario 3D Land

Well, it's sorta like the Super Guide, so if you die a lot of times, it'll appear.

Yes, but you can't die more than 5 times in any level or use a golden Tanooki Suit to get the golden stars.
That's weird, I've died more than 5 times in a level but my stars seem to be golden....

This pretty much means that you can lose as many lives as you want, and still get gold stars. You just can't use the Gold Leaf, or else the gold stars are out of reach; think back to New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
