Lumas arestar creatures that first appear inSuper Mario Galaxy. Unlike most Stars, they have a raindrop-like shape and come in many colors, with the most common one being yellow. They are much likePower Stars, but they are more circular and have the ability to talk. The Lumas are each very friendly and assistMario during his quest. Lumas have the ability to transform, from minor planetoids to entiregalaxies, and according toRosalina, some Lumas can even transform into Power Stars. They call Rosalina their "mama." Most of them make their home with her in theComet Observatory, and others live onStarship Mario following their leaderLubba inSuper Mario Galaxy 2. InSuper Mario Galaxy 2, if theCo-Star Luma spins one, it releases threeStar Bits.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
InSuper Mario Galaxy and itsNintendo Switchport, various Lumas appear on the Comet Observatory and in different galaxies. Mario is accompanied by a uniquelyapricot-colored Luma, who was given to him by Rosalina at the beginning of the game. Luma grants Mario the power to dospins. While he is the only cream-colored Luma encountered by Mario, the Luma that transformed into the beacon that powers the Comet Observatory is shown to be the same color inRosalina's Storybook's illustration.
Yellow Lumas transform intoSling Stars andLaunch Stars and are the most common variety. Red Lumas guardRed Stars. Green Lumas are the guardians of theTrial Galaxies and transform into greenLaunch Stars andGreen Stars. Blue Lumas transform intoPull Stars. Pink Lumas transform into pink Launch Stars to get to Hungry Luma galaxies.Lumalee, who is a large, light-blue Luma, hosts the Luma Shop. There is also another type of Luma that is pink, known as theHungry Luma. The last type of Luma is theComet Luma[derived], which has the ability to movePrankster Comets. There is also a blackish-brown Luma namedPolari, who acts as a guide to Rosalina.
In the end, all the Lumas (including Mario's Luma) throw themselves into the massive black hole created byBowser's dying sun to neutralize it. However, Luma is reborn and living on a small planet, while it is hinted that the other Lumas will be reborn later.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Lumas also appear inSuper Mario Galaxy 2. Some time before the beginning of the game,Bowser attackedLubba's ship, and many of the Lumas on board fell down toEarth. A large number of Lumas are shown to reside inStarship Mario, and their leader is Lubba. Hungry Lumas also appear; this time, they ask to be fed both Star Bits and Coins. Like in the last game, Lumas enjoy being fedStar Bits, and may thank the player if they decide to shoot Star Bits at them. There areGiant Lumas in theSupermassive Galaxy as well. Additionally, Mario's companion Baby Luma returns; however, Mario does not seem to remember him, and he finds Baby Luma when he crash-lands.
Super Mario 3D World /Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
Lumas appear inSuper Mario 3D World and itsNintendo Switch portSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury where they can be seen floating around in the world maps as well as various levels in bonus worlds. Their behavior has not changed from the previousSuper Mario Galaxy games, though the player cannot talk to them.

Although Lumas do not physically appear inSuper Mario Odyssey, the Galaxy Air logo fromMario Kart 8 featuring a yellow Luma appears on the Racing Outfit. Additionally, concept art fromThe Art of Super Mario Odyssey reveals that a costume based on a yellow Luma wasplanned to appear in the game.[1]

It could be unlocked by completing six of Yoshi's missions, while a gold version of it could be unlocked by completing six of Bowser's missions. A yellow Luma also serves as the "Missions" icon.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
- “Rosalina & Luma Launch into Battle!”
- —Introduction, "Comet Observatory" Trailer
Lumas appear with various colors alongsideRosalina as a singular new fighter inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. They function as a team; whenever Rosalina attacks, the Luma also attacks, allowing for combo attacks and for attacking from afar if Luma is separated from Rosalina. Lumas have their own HP, and if they take enough damage, they get defeated. Lumas can also get defeated by being knocked off of the stage to the point where they cannot recover. After a few seconds, another Luma appears near Rosalina. If Rosalina gets KO'd, the Luma vanishes, and a new one appears when Rosalina respawns. Lumas can attack even if Rosalina is stunned by other attacks, such as grabbing, and their attacks depend on what input the player performs as Rosalina. By using their standard special attack,Luma Shot, the Luma can be sent away from Rosalina to fight, and by using the move again, it is called back to her.Kirby's copy ability version of Luma Shot summons a Luma for the move, which instantly disappears after the move's completion.
There are six possible colorations for the Lumas: yellow, green, blue, red, apricot (the color of the Luma that joins Mario in theSuper Mario Galaxy games), and dark brown with blue eyes (the colors of Polari).
Lumas return alongside Rosalina as veteran fighters inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Compared to their appearances inSuper Smash Bros. for 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, Lumas get launched farther by attacks in general, making them easier to KO. The yellow Luma also appears as a supportspirit, which equips a fighter with aSuper Launch Star at the start of battles. In the spirit battle, the player needs to defeat four different coloredKirbys on theMario Galaxy stage while star-themed items appear.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]
While no Lumas appear physically inMario & Luigi: Paper Jam, theYoshi + Mario LV2 Duo Card shows artwork of a yellow Luma alongsideMario andYoshi fromSuper Mario Galaxy 2. This Character Card temporarily increases the number of Star Points earned per successful action by 70% in a battle.
Mario Sports Superstars[edit]
Due toMario Sports Superstars reusing Rosalina's golf animations fromMario Golf: World Tour, Lumas reappear in this game in the same capacity asMario Golf: World Tour, appearing in her post-hole animations. Additionally, Luma-themed gear appears in this game as an alternative choice exclusive to Rosalina.
Dr. Mario World[edit]
As an overall species, Lumas make theirDr. Mario series debut inDr. Mario World, where one Luma known asDr. Luma appears as a playable character. Dr. Luma is a reward inWorld 8's special stage since version 1.2.0, though beating the stage prior to the update will allow him to be obtainable through the doc box.
Dr. Luma's skill is to shift theviruses in the lowest rows so that they collide with an object above them, where it is represented by a sparkling image of a Luma on screen, followed by multiple Lumas flying across the lowest rows, in which the affected rows are the 6 lowest rows in stage mode, the 5 lowest rows at level 1 in versus mode and the 10 lowest rows in level 2 or higher in versus mode. In versus mode, the skill charges faster at higher levels, starting from level 3. Viruses that are contained inside objects likeice andBrick Blocks can also be shifted, but other objects are not affected. Prior to version 2.3.0, this skill would do nothing if the skill is used when every possible virus in the lowest rows cannot be shifted further, but since then, it will eliminate one random virus or object instead (capsules are not affected). In versus mode, Dr. Luma possesses the highest possible defense value, where it has 80% defense against two-line bomb attacks.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope[edit]
Before the events ofMario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, the Lumas met theRabbids during their teleporting escapades, butCursa was drawn to theComet Observatory, where it would attackRosalina, the Lumas, and some Rabbids that were there. While Rosalina was fending off Cursa, she was captured and merged with Cursa. The Rabbids and Lumas were saved, but flung far away and merged into a new species namedSparks. Cursa then created an army of corrupted Rabbids and controlled minions ofBowser, along with theSpark Hunters to lead them.
Illumination film series[edit]

While no normal Lumas appear inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie,Lumalee appears as a captive in Bowser's Castle.

InThe Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a yellow Luma appears at the end of the trailer shouting Mario's catchphrase, "Let's-a go!" It is shown to have a visible mouth, much like Lumalee in the previous film. Several Lumas of various colors are seen in the film itself in one scene where they gather around Rosalina as she reads a story about Peach, with multiple Lumas requesting that she read the story about "the plumber".

Naming[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The English name "Luma" derives fromlūmen, the Latin noun for "light" and also the root of words like "illuminate" and "illuminous." Most varieties of Lumas, such asHungry Lumas andSalesman Lumas, have "Luma" incorporated into their own names as well. TheBaby Luma is generally referred to simply as "Luma" in the originalSuper Mario Galaxy.
Names in other languages[edit]

Yellow Luma[edit]
"Yellow Luma"[37] refers to a specific type of Luma that is associated withLaunch Stars andSling Stars. They are the most common Lumas inSuper Mario Galaxy andSuper Mario Galaxy 2. In most games where only one Luma appears, it is yellow. In the original Japanese script for chapter 6 ofRosalina's Storybook the original Japanese script refers to one of them as a「オレンジ色のチコ」(Orenji-iro no Chiko, "orange-colored Luma") to distinguish it from theone traveling with Rosalina that is simply called「チコ」(Chiko) in the book and throughout the rest of the game. However, some official paratext for the European and North American localizations, including English, seemed to have misinterpreted the scene, instead ascribing the color to Rosalina's companion.
