Does anybody know the minimal amount of stars you can get in WA? I've just tried it and I came out with 53.

There is one thing to note:

I believe Master Wonder Mage found out that the tollgate in the Foggy Mountains foothills area calculates a formula when you enter the wlv:

Your stars in inventory + Number of adventures in that area = Star Cost of Tollgate

So, you would want to complete as few adventures as possible to get to that wlv from the beginning of the game until that point. Afterwards, it is just a matter of skipping non-essential levels.
Not really around much these years.

I got exactly 25 stars before entering the ice cave, so I think I did get as few as possible without glitches.

I looked up the solution so I didn't do any of the levels on the peak.

I found a few more, (and yes, I used the cheat codes whenever I could to save time; after all, I had already played each game at least once already and these specific playthroughs were just for this little experiment). MOFI is 52, (if "At The End Of It All" counts as exactly one star), POTZ is 84 (I considered the victory tours necessary, because even if you "beat the game" by destroying the Void Crystal, you can't get back to the main areas of the game until you win them) and WSW is 99.
