| ==History==
| |
| ===Background===
| |
| As chronicled in [[Rosalina's Story]], Luma was first met by a young [[Rosalina]] near a rusted spaceship; he explained to her that he was awaiting his mother, who was coming for him on a comet. Rosalina promised to wait with him, and the two eventually repaired the spaceship with the intent of using it to search for her themselves. As the pair traveled through the cosmos, they came across a comet made of ice and, though there was no sign of Luma's mother, decided to remain on it as they continued their search. One night, after dreaming of her own mother leaving her, Rosalina took Luma in her arms and adopted him as her own, promising to take care of him herself from then on.
| |
| | |
| Using materials they found frozen beneath the comet's ice, Rosalina and Luma constructed a house for themselves. Following the arrival of more of his kind from a nearby planet, Luma began to fight with them over Rosalina, who proceeded to welcome them into her new home and give names to them all. Some time later, when reminded of her former home and family, Rosalina became saddened once more - to cheer her up, Luma reminded her that her mother would always be a part of her and transformed into a [[Comet Observatory|comet]], allowing her to visit her home planet every hundred years.
| |

| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
| |
| [[File:Peach holds Luma SMG.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Peach holding Luma in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
| |
| Many centuries later, [[Bowser]] attacked the Observatory and stole the [[Grand Star]]s it requires to function. It is presumed that during the confrontation, the reborn Luma was knocked from his home and fell to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] below. Luma is then found by [[Princess Peach]], who invites [[Mario]] to her castle during the [[Star Festival]] to show him her discovery. After Mario is sent flying off into the cosmos by [[Kamek]]'s attack, Peach sends Luma after him as her castle is towed away by Bowser's forces to the center of the universe.
| |
| | |
| Luma is formally introduced to Mario when he awakens on a planet within the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. After giving him a brief tutorial and a game of hide-and-seek, the star child determines Mario may be capable of helping Rosalina and joins him at his mother's request, taking up residence beneath the [[Mario Cap]] and in the process granting him the [[Spin]] maneuver. Together, the two make their way through numerous galaxies and slowly reclaim the lost [[Power Star]]s, eventually returning enough power to the observatory's [[Beacon]] to allow themselves access to [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], where Mario uses Luma's powers to defeat the Koopa King once and for all.
| |
| | |
| Following Bowser's defeat and the rescue of the final Grand Star, the star it had already begun to form implodes on itself due to a lack of power. The ensuing black hole begins to rapidly consume the entire universe. Luma then appears from the Mario Cap and, after a wave goodbye, flings himself into the heart of the catastrophe, and is followed by the other Lumas. Their efforts succeed in stabilizing the black hole, destroying it and restoring the cosmos to their former state.
| |
| | |
| After the player collects all 120 Power Stars and defeats the final boss once more, a secret ending is displayed, in which Rosalina is shown thanking the player and promising to watch over them from beyond the stars before departing from the Gateway Galaxy in the observatory. The scene then shifts to the dilapidated spaceship from her storybook, with Luma peering out from inside; he waves once more at the camera before rising up toward the stars and out of sight.

| |
| [[File:Mario finds Baby Luma SMG2 screenshot.png|left|thumb|Mario finds the lost Baby Luma in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]] | |
| Luma makes his second appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where he is called Baby Luma. He is found in the prologue of the game lying on the ground and immediately takes a shine to [[Mario]]. Baby Luma flies into the [[Mario Cap]], and Mario's body begins to tingle, giving him the power to spin. Mario later meets two other yellow Lumas, which call Baby Luma "young master Luma" and send Mario off to the [[Sky Station Galaxy]]. Baby Luma is later reunited with [[Lubba]], who thanks Mario for saving him, and together, Mario and Baby Luma travel through many new galaxies to defeat [[Bowser]] once again.
| |
| | |
| After Bowser is defeated, Mario returns to [[Starship Mario]] with [[Princess Peach]] and the [[Grand Star]], after which Rosalina appears in her [[Comet Observatory]]. She explains to Mario that she knew all along that she would someday be reunited with Baby Luma, because there is a power even beyond that of the stars that governs the destiny of them all. After promising that he will never ever forget about Mario and taking Mario's cap as a souvenir, Baby Luma rejoins Rosalina and leaves with her.

Mario is reminded of cookies by Baby Luma's appearance, and does not want to play with him and would rather play his [[Nintendo DS]], much to Baby Luma's irritation. Mario does not want to do anything.]]
| |
| Baby Luma, alongside other Lumas, appears in volume 38 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' after Mario lands on a planet after he is swatted away by Bowser. He wants to play with Mario, but Mario does not want to do anything, after Mario loses his confidence. Just after Baby Luma tries to encourage Mario to get up and save Peach, a giant Goomba comes. Baby Luma wants Mario's help, though Mario refuses. Rosalina pops up and encourages Mario to fight the Goomba. Mario then learns the Star Spin technique and defeats the Goomba, who turns out to be just an illusion created by Rosalina to help Mario regain his confidence. They team up and help each other as the adventure progresses.

| | |
| In this adaption, Baby Luma calls himself "A Star Child." He is also given a mouth, mostly to illustrate facial expressions better. The cover also depicts Baby Luma as a yellow Luma instead of a cream-colored one.

| ===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
| |
| Baby Luma makes a cameo in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' during one of Rosalina's animations, specifically whenever she scores an [[List of golfing terms#Eagle|eagle]], [[List of golfing terms#Albatross|albatross]], or [[List of golfing terms#Hole-in-one|hole-in-one]]. He is seen wearing Mario's cap like he does in the ending of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.

| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Rosalina and a [[Luma]] are collectively playable as a singular character. While the first Luma spawned during battle will always be yellow in color, one of the alternate colors for any subsequent Lumas spawned during the match is modeled after Baby Luma. This character is also present in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' in the form of a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], which can be obtained when it appears at random in one of the game's single-player modes.

| ===''Mario Sports Superstars''=== | | ==The search for mama== |
| Due to ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'' reusing Rosalina's golf animations from ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', Baby Luma reappears in this game in the same capacity.
| | Luma's story begins when he gets separated from his mother. He finds [[Rosalina]] and asks her to help him find his mama. Rosalina repairs a rusty, old ship and together, she and Luma begin a long search for his mama. One day they find a comet which Luma says his mother travels on. However there is no sign of Luma's mama. Rosalina and Luma finaly give up hope of finding Luma's mother. However, Rosalina soon discovers that buried in the comet are tools and building material. Together, the duo build a small settlement. After it is completed it seems rather big for just two people. Not long after, another Luma appeared traveling on a comet. Luma and the newcomer fought over Rosalina's love. More and more lumas fly out of the commet shouting "My mama" at Rosalina. Rosalina adopted all the Lumas and became their mother. One night Luma finds Rosalina crying, he comforts her and asks her why she is crying. Rosalina tells the Luma that her mother is dead and even though she knew, she refused to belive it untill then. Rosalina thanked Luma and the two hugged each other. |

|
| ==Profiles and statistics==
| | Later on, Luma transformed into the [[Comet Observatory]] to provide a new home for the Lumas and Rosalina. However he was re-born and and nurtured for by Rosalina untill he became a full grown Luma again. |

| *'''Trading card description''': ''There are no other Lumas in the Galaxy that are like the very special Apricot Luma. This is the Luma that Rosalina gives to Mario in the beginning of the game, who grants Mario the power to do star spins -- a move that will be invaluable against many unforeseen enemies.''
| |
| *'''Prima Games Official Guide bio''': ''There are many Luma''{{sic}}'' in the cosmos, but this particular Luma is Mario's constant companion during his space travels. This cute little star gifts Mario with some amazing skills, such as the ability to survive in deep space and unleash a special spin that helps him break free of gravity and damages various dangerous denizens. While Mario explores the galaxies, he will meet many different Luma''{{sic}}'', from helpful black Luma''{{sic}}'' that manage the charts of the cosmos to green Luma''{{sic}}'' that hide a special secret.''

| | Sometime later, [[Princess Peach]] found Luma and planned to give him as a present to [[Mario]]. However, just as Mario was arriving, [[Bowser]] kidnapped Peach by hoisting her castle into space. Luma escapes to a nearby planet in the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. Meanwhile, Mario is attacked by a minnion of Bowser and sent to the Luma's hiding spot. Luma and his friends convince Mario to play a game of hide-and-go-seek with them. When Mario finds them Rosalina appears and tells Mario that in order to save Princess Peach, the now broken [[Comet Observatory]] needs to be fixed using Grand Stars so it can fly to where Bowser is keeping Peach. Luma decides to help Mario and, bestowing Mario the power to [[Star Spin]], the two begin the hunt for the Grand Stars. Traveling from galaxy to galaxy the two track down the Grand stars and slowly, the Comet Observatory becomes more powerful. |

| | When the last Star is recovered, the Comet Observatory flys to the center of the universe where Bowser has created a huge sun. After a epic duel, Mario and Luma beat Bowser, detroy the sun and rescue Princes Peach. However, Bowser's dying sun creates a huge black hole and all the Lumas including Luma fly into it to stop it. Before being destroyed, Luma waves sadly goodbye to Mario and then dives. However, it is revealed Luma has been reborn, like all Lumas do, on another planet and is waiting for Mario's return. |

| *Baby Luma's coloration is very similar to the color "[[wikipedia:Cosmic latte|Cosmic Latte]]", which astronomers determined in 2003 to be the average color of the universe. | | *Originaly in the [[Beta Elements|beta version of the game]] Luma was to be called Tyke. |
| *If Mario or Luigi replays the "Grand Star Rescue" mission of [[Gateway Galaxy]], there will appear to be two Baby Lumas, one that helps him spin (an ability he is supposed to get later in the mission), and one that Mario chases as a Star Bunny.
| | {{Alien}} |
| *[[Twinkle]] from ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' strongly resembles Baby Luma.
