Super Mario 3D Land

I just finished World 8, got all the Star Coins, and only missed 1 golden flagpole (which was on the final level since I ran out of Tanooki Suits and I can never time my jumps right to reach the top without them). I now have 2 Stars on my file. How many Stars can you get on a file and what are the requirements for each?

The stars are sparkling, right? Try longjumping as high up as you can if you reach the flagpole w/o a Tanooki suit

I dont know why after I got all star coins, I had to do the final level in World 8 again.
Because your boy Miyaomoto said so. I'm lucky I got the chance to meet him at E3 2005 he is REALLY hard to get to these days.
 
Super Mario 3D Land defiantly aint easy to beat, its a great game though.

and to evaluate on what I meant. After I beat Special8-Final Level, I got sent to World 8-Final Level, I had all 3 star coins in 8-Final Castle, so I went to get the rest of the star coins in special 8-3 and special 8-4, after that I checked my stars, I only had 2. Then I went to complete World 8-Final Level again, and I got a New Photo with Peach in a Tanooki suit and then there were 4 stars
 
Look, if there are 3 Star Coins in each level, then there aren't exactly 305 Star Coins. 305 isn't a multiple of 3.
