How many total Power Stars are in Super Mario Galaxy?

Answering this question will require a little more detail.

When playing through as Mario, there are 120 Power Stars, after collecting all 120, you can then play as Luigi, and collect the same 120 Power Stars again, giving a total of 240 standard Power Stars.

But wait, after you collect all 120 Power Stars with Mario and with Luigi, a bonus stage - Grand Finale Galaxy is unlocked, giving one more Power Star for Mario and Luigi to collect. This makes 121 Power Stars for each Mario bro, and a total of 242 Power Stars in the entirety of Super Mario Galaxy.
