About items...

[TSx* Naxer]

Well I get some nice stuff: 1-ups, invincibility etc. One thing bothers me though. How can I get items with more than just one star? Do I get better items after beating certain amount of missions or do I have to do some specific things to make them better (like merge these items together).
Also, how more stars affect teleport skip and radar?

As you clear missions, the items become better and better. The items you get off of the map screen will always be one star, but the missions can give you any item ranging from 1 to four stars depending on the difficulty of the mission. One ups will always be one star, however, and when you clear all 100 missions, you can no longer get strong items because this version doesn't have Miiverse.

Alternatively, if you want to get particular items into your inventory at all times;

Korama from Sonic Retro wrote a program for decoding and re-encoding the SDAT/save data file in your Lost World index folder. If you drag and drop your save file into this program, you can then open it in Notepad/Wordpad/whatever text editor you prefer. CTRL+F for 'item', and you'll see five numbers listed out just underneath. The values for items are;

39-42 = Speed Shoes
43-47 = Shield
47-50 = Red Ring Radar
51-54 = 1-Up
55-58 = Wisp Bomb
59-62 = Magnet Shield
63-66 = Invincibility
67-70 = Wing Warp

The higher the number in a group, the more stars it has. For example; 39 is a Speed Shoes item with 1-Star, while 42 is the 4-Star version. Put in all the items you want, then save and drop your SDAT file back into that program. I'd advise backing up your SDAT file beforehand in case your text editor destroys it somehow, but Wordpad's been fine with editing it and my personal recommendation.

To answer your last question; 4-Stars means the Wing Warp sends you to four checkpoints away (skipping nearly the whole of some levels), and... the Red Ring Radar picks the Red Rings up from further away and beeps louder when you're near one, from memory? Anyone's free to correct me here.
