'''Lubba''' is a particularly large and sometimes wisecracking purple [[Luma]] who appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He is the head honcho of the Lumas in the game.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2===

In Lubba's only appearance in a game, he is seen after Mario beats the [[Sky Station Galaxy]]'s first level [[Sky Station Galaxy#Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum|"Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum"]]. Prior to the events of the game, [[Bowser]] destroyed Lubba's first spaceship by firing several meteors at it. This caused all the Lumas on the ship to fall down to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. After Mario brings back the "[[Luma (character)|young master Luma]]", Lubba thanks him and creates [[Starship Mario]] with his fellow Lumas and promptly appoints [[Mario]] the captain. 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|Power Stars]], he'll help Mario rescue [[Princess Peach]].<ref>[http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=120465 GoNintendo - Famitsu pics/scans - Super Mario Galaxy 2, Xenoblade, Sengoku Basara 3, LovePlus +, Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Masou Kishin ~ The Lord of Elemental]</ref> As the captain of the mobile hub of the game and the leader of the Lumas, he more or less replaces [[Rosalina]] of the previous ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' in this respect.

Throughout the game, Lubba informs Mario of several different things, most of the time he stands by Starship Mario's wheel and tells Mario different things to help him out. However he can often be found in numerous 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 cracks a joke about them. Whenever Mario enters a new world, Lubba will fly off of Starship Mario and say something about Mario's progress.

After the final 242nd [[Power Star]] from the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] is collected and Rosalina boards Starship Mario, it is revealed that Lubba has met her before. However, where he first met her is unknown. He thanks Mario for his hard work bringing who he calls "The Lady of the Shooting Stars" on board the ship.
