something tells me i knew this and forgot, but what is the star-shaped meter at the top for?

The star is for the gamepad user, it fills up when another player lands on a well placed platform… what happens when the star fills up…. no idea!

There was a video i saw somewhere where i believe a Nintendo rep stated that it will allow you to kill enemies with one hit on the touch screen when filled up instead of just stunning them.
