In the story of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Lubba is first seen after [[Mario]] completes [[Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum]], the first [[mission]] of [[Sky Station Galaxy]]. Prior to the game's events, [[Bowser]] destroyed Lubba's first spaceship by firing several [[meteor]]s at it, causing most of the Lumas on the ship to fall down to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. After Mario brings back the "[[Baby Luma|young master Luma]]," Lubba thanks him and creates [[Starship Mario]] with the former's fellow Lumas, promptly appointing Mario the captain afterward. Lubba aids and accompanies Mario in his quest to defeat Bowser, making a deal with him that, in return for Mario recovering the [[Power Star]]s, he helps Mario rescue [[Princess Peach]]. As the captain of the mobile hub of the game and the leader of the Lumas, he more or less replaces [[Rosalina]] and [[Polari]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' in this respect. Lubba mostly stands by Starship Mario's wheel and informs Mario of different things to help him out. However, Lubba can also be found in some other places on the ship. Whenever a new item or passenger comes aboard the ship, Lubba appears somewhere else on the ship and tells Mario something about the new object or creature and/or says a joke about it/them. Whenever Mario enters a new [[world]], Lubba flies off Starship Mario and says something about Mario's progress. After Bowser is defeated and the final Power Star of the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] is collected and Rosalina boards Starship Mario, Lubba is revealed to have met her before, though the exact place is unclear. Lubba thanks Mario for his hard work bringing whom the former calls "The Lady of the Shooting Stars" on board the ship.

Lubba has various lines that appear during certain scenarios only. When the game is played early in the morning, Lubba's field speech bubble says, ''"So...sleepy..."'' When spoken to, he says, ''"Geez. It's kinda early, isn't it? I feel so sleepy..."'' When the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]'s batteries are low, Lubba tells Mario to replace them and [[Fourth wall|warns that it will be bad]] if the batteries die in a dangerous place. When Mario has 77 Power Stars or 777 or 7,777 Star Bits, Lubba says, ''"Hey, you have [number and object]! How lucky! ♪"'' Similarly, if the player has exactly 1,000 Star Bits, he says, ''"You have 1,000 Star Bits! That must feel pretty good!"'' Additionally, when Mario has 9,999 Star Bits, Lubba says, ''"What happens when you get 9,999 Star Bits? Something nice, I bet!"''

Lubba appears in Rosalina's [[List of golfing terms#Eagle|eagle]], [[List of golfing terms#Albatross|albatross]], and [[List of golfing terms#Hole-in-one|hole-in-one]] animations in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''.

Lubba makes a background appearance piloting Starship Mario above [[Mario Galaxy (stage)|Mario Galaxy]] in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

 

A few collectible items of Lubba appear in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', there is a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Lubba, and in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', there is a {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}} of Lubba that grants the {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}} immunity from reversed left-and-right controls when equipped. The Lubba spirit battle pits players against a giant [[Kirby]], who starts the battle holding a [[Launch Star|Super Launch Star]]. There is decreased gravity for the duration of the battle (unless a spirit that counters this is equipped), and the battle takes place on the Mario Galaxy stage with the music "The Starship Sails" from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' playing.
