Welcome to the GHII expert star power gallery. Below you will find an optimal star power path for each song. Additionally, alternate paths are included for some songs which many players may find useful.
For each song, the optimal path is the path that will yield the most points in a full combo. In general, squeezes are included, but if you think you can hit a difficult squeeze that is not marked, go for it. Also, please let me know if you find something wrong with one of the paths or an "optimal path" that isn't actually optimal.
The color code is as follows:
