'''Comet Luma''' is a unique [[Luma]] found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Its appearance is that of a purple [[Hungry Luma]] and a [[Lumalee]] that holds up two sticks with stars on the ends in each hand, similar to a Hungry Luma's sticks, which have color-changing [[Star Bit]]s on the ends. It is located just outside the [[Terrace (Super Mario Galaxy)|Terrace]] on the [[Comet Observatory]], and it appears only after [[Mario]] has collected a total of thirteen [[Power Star]]s, which causes various types of [[Prankster Comet]]s to begin appearing. When Mario talks to Comet Luma, it gives him two options to choose from: "Tell me more!" and "Move it!"

If the player chooses "Tell me more!" Comet Luma gives Mario information about the different types of Prankster Comets, which mainly entails the various effects that each type of Prankster Comet has on a [[galaxy]]'s normal operation. Originally, Comet Luma gives Mario information only about [[Prankster Comet#Speedy Comet|Speedy Comets]], [[Prankster Comet#Daredevil Comet|Daredevil Comets]], [[Prankster Comet#Cosmic Comet|Cosmic Comets]], and [[Prankster Comet#Fast-Foe Comet|Fast-Foe Comets]], but once Mario has defeated [[Bowser]] at the [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor|center of the universe]], Comet Luma also tells Mario about the fifth type of comet, the [[Prankster Comet#Purple Comet|Purple Comet]]. Asking Comet Luma for information about the Prankster Comets does not require the player to relinquish any Star Bits.

The player should choose "Move it!" when they want the current position of the Prankster Comets orbiting a particular galaxy or galaxies to be moved. Each time the player asks Comet Luma to shuffle around the positions of the Prankster Comets, Mario must pay it 20 Star Bits, after which it flashes white like a transforming Hungry Luma. A second later, the map of the Comet Observatory is displayed, indicating the new positions of the Prankster Comets. If Mario has completed only a few Prankster Comet missions when he asks Comet Luma to move the comets, it usually moves different Prankster Comets to new galaxies and takes away the existing Prankster Comets from the old galaxies. When Mario has completed many of the Prankster Comet missions, Comet Luma occasionally does away with all of the existing Prankster Comets, leaving none available. When Mario uses this same option a second time, or completes a mission in any various galaxy, the Prankster Comets all return to their previous positions. In rare cases, Comet Luma does not do anything, even if there are still Prankster Comets available.

Comet Luma is one of the few characters in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' to not have a published official name for English releases of the game, nor in any official paratext for ''Super Mario Galaxy'' like the instruction booklet or [[Prima Games]] guidebook.
