A '''Launch Star''' is an object that launches [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to different planets in outer space, introduced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Launch Stars are large stars, usually colored orange, that hover just above the ground of a planet, though they can sometimes appear floating in the air above a planet, or just floating in space. | A '''Launch Star''' is an object that launches [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to different planets in outer space, introduced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

There is also a green Launch Star located onboard the [[Comet Observatory]] that takes Mario to the [[Planet of Trials]] when activated. This one, as well as the Launch Stars on the Planet of Trials, is the only green Launch Star in the entire game. | There is also a green Launch Star located onboard the [[Comet Observatory]] that takes Mario to the [[Planet of Trials]] when activated.

Though usually immovable, a Launch Star always stays (or appears after the player collects five Star Chips) in its permanent location. However, one Launch Star can actually be moved upwards and downwards regardless of where it sends the player. In the mission [[Sunbaked Sand Castle]] in the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]], the player must go to the second planet and collect five Star Chips to make the Launch Star appear on top of the tower. Since the player can make the tower rise or sink by pressing a [[Ground-Pound Switch|Ground Pound Switch]], the Launch Star can also rise or sink along with the tower, but it does not sink into the sand. | |||

*The green Launch Star located on the [[Comet Observatory]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' is the only Launch Star between the two games that is actually inaccessible the first time it is encountered. It can be restored only after Mario has collected all three [[Green Star]]s hidden throughout the game. | *The green Launch Star located on the [[Comet Observatory]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' is the only Launch Star between the two games that is actually inaccessible the first time it is encountered.
