'''Lumas''' are [[star|star-like]] creatures that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Unlike most Stars, they have a tear drop-like shape, and come in many colors. They are much like [[Power Star]]s, but they are more circular and they able to talk.  

Lumas boast the ability to transform, from minor planetoids to entire galaxies. They seem to acknowledge [[Rosalina]] as their "mama". According to Rosalina, some can transform into [[Power Stars]]. Most of them make their home in the [[Comet Observatory]], while others live on [[Starship Mario]].  

Only one cream-colored Luma is seen; he is known as [[Baby Luma]], although the Luma that transformed into the comet that Rosalina and the Lumas travel on appears to be cream-coloured in Rosalina's storybook's illustration. He is the Luma that Rosalina gives [[Mario]] in the beginning of the game. Luma grants Mario the power to do [[Spinning|Spin]]s. Yellow Lumas transform into [[Sling Star]]s and [[Launch Star]]s and are the most common variety. Red Lumas guard [[Red Star]]s. Green Lumas are the guardians of the [[Trial Galaxies]] and transform into green [[Launch Star]]s. [[Blue Luma]]s transform into [[Pull Star]]s. Pink Lumas transform into pink Launch Stars to get to hungry Luma galaxies. [[Lumalee]], who is a large, light-blue Luma, hosts the [[Luma Shop]]. There is also another type of Luma that are pink, known as [[Hungry Luma]]s. The last type of Luma is a purple [[Hungry Luma]] that holds the power to move [[Prankster Comet]]s.

In the end, all the Lumas (including "the" Luma) throw themselves into the massive black hole created by [[Bowser]]'s dying sun to neutralize it. However, Luma is reborn and living on a small planet while it is hinted that the other Lumas will be reborn later. Indeed, they appear in the sequel.

===''Mario Kart Wii''===

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', a Yellow Luma revolves Rosalina at all times. He makes tiny noises whenever Rosalina does a trick in the air. It has no effect on gameplay.

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

Lumas also appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. There is also [[Lubba]], a large purple Luma who acts as the head of the Lumas in this game. There are exceptionally large species of Luma in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]].
