So this game has gold stars in the non-boss levels that can only be obtained with certain suits, although the game I think intends you to purchase a whole bunch of suits, I think it can be done without all of them. For instance, there are a few puzzles that seem to require the diving suit, but I got them all without ever purchasing them. Also anything you can get with the ninja suit, you can also get with the flying suit, so do not buy ninja or diving. I also get the fire suit stars without the need of the fire suit.
To get all the story level stars, you only need BOMB, FLYING AND ELECTRIC SUITS
It takes a lot of grind to get green tokens for new suits, so if you are going for all star achievements fast, only buy these three suits. I recommend getting Bomb and Flying first as they are most useful. There is only 1 star that requires electric suit
Be Aware
You can still get a star if you die after collecting it if you restart from the checkpoint after picking it up. This means stars in long water sections are still obtainable without the diving suit as you can rush through them, get the star and drown and you will still have the star when you start again at checkpoint.
Below are all the gold stars (suit specific stars) and how to get them having only purchased Bomb, Flying and Electric suits. Some have free passes for the suits you need so no need to purchase
Parallel Peaks
7 - Free Pass Electric Suit
Snow Mountains
10 - Free Pass Snow Suit
13 - Free Pass Flying Suit
Sunny Falls
18 - Free Pass Diving Suit
20 - Free Pass Fire Suit
22 - Bomb Suit
Can be done with any if you swim up from the bottom of the long water section. If you drown after getting the star, respawn at the checkpoint and you will still have the star. Or, easiest with the bomb suit, just blow up the blocks at the top.
Green Woods
26 - Free Pass Ninja Suit
28 - Flying Suit
In a high up area past two flying enemies, shoot them then fly up.
31 - Bomb suit, Flying suit, or Electric suit
Behind a stone block and under a metal block, blow the stone block up with bomb suit, or if you have flying, you can fly and push the stone block into the star and still get it. Or pull the metal block out of the way with electric suit and dig down.
Cog Castle
34 - Flying or Bomb Suit.
Under the water bit with the chest, the gold star is high up in plain sight, fly over with flying suit, or with bomb suit, place a timer bomb and jump on top of it.
36 - Flying Suit, Electric suit
At the very end of the level, you are supposed to use the electric suit for a metal block pulling puzzle, but you can just fly up through the dirt blocks and get it far easier.
38 - Any
You are supposed to use the diving suit as the star is at the bottom of a long water section, however you can just rush to the end of the water section and pick up the star, you will drown, but when you respawn at the checkpoint, you will have the star. Also helps that there is metal blocks in the water you are supposed to push, when they move, they briefly make an air pocket with you can use to get more air and reach the star
Mirage Desert
42 - Bomb suit
I think you are supposed to use the fire suit self explode power, but it is not needed. You can get it with the Bomb suit. There is an elevator and two hard rock blocks above it. Timer bombs do not work on elevators, but we can still blow up the block above you. Stack two bombs to the right, then when the elevator lifts you up, shoot a bomb at the stacked two. You can then shoot bombs at the wall to blow up the next one and shoot the final block buy bouncing on the drum and get the gold star
44 - Any
Gold star is at the bottom of a water section with cogs, you can swim down, get the star and tunnel out the bottom. Or if you have the flying suit, much easier to fly dig to it from beneath using the upward dig ability.
46 - Any thing that can break glass blocks.
The gold star requires you reach the yellow teleporter. It is not far from the start of the level. There is a glass block that is one block high, just fly and push it with the flying suit or jump and shoot it with pretty much any suit with a projectile.
Lava Chamber
50 - Bomb Suit
You are supposed to use the fire suit but the bomb suit will do. The star is in a pit of lava. You can open the top with a bomb, then drop timer bombs down the hole, it will blow up the block at the bottom and once the lava drains out, you can get the star safely.
52 - Electric suit
I cannot find any way to get this without the electric suit. Star is in the shaft blocked by 3 metal blocks, you cannot get behind to push them so seems pulling with the electric suit is the only way to obtain this.
54 - Flying suit
Early in the level, gold star is across a spike pit with fire enemies flying up and down. Just shoot arrows until the enemies are gone, then fly over. You may need to go to the far left and tap up to start flying then just glide across.
Shadow Pit
58 - Any
There is a yellow teleporter that puts you at the bottom of a winding water section. Just swim up as fast as you can. Tapping jump on the upward parts will make you rise faster. You should have enough air to make it. you might drown on the way back, but respawn and you will still have the star. Seemed easiest with flying suit.
60 - Flying Suit
Looks like a ninja suit section. There is three fire enemies going up and down and a pair of pink portals, if you use flying suit you can shoot the enemies, then fly across or fly and dig up from beneath the gold star.
62 - Flying or Bomb suit.
Early on there is a pair of blue teleporters, after you teleport down, run across and dodge the falling spikes. this will open up where the gold star is. Just fly up, or place a bomb with the bomb suit and jump up it.
