Hooray for me, I finally managed to get the power star on the Luigi's Purple Coins level of Super Mario Galaxy! This means that, after fighting Bowser yet one more time, I can now play the game as Luigi.
I must have killed several hundred Marios to beat the level. I had not played the game in several months, in fact, when I decided to give it yet another try.
For those looking for tips, I will just repeat the advice given by others: decide on a path to follow around the level and keep working on it. Go for those 5 coin clusters, and spin-jump back to safety. And if the game is getting to you, give it a break for a month or so.
