| A '''Pull Star''' is an object that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It resembles a small blue version of a [[Launch Star]] inside a blue bubble or orb. When activated, a Pull Star pulls [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] towards it. Its name is a pun on "{{wp|pulsar}}" or "{{wp|pole star}}."

| [[File:SMG Space Junk Pull Stars.png|thumb|Pull Stars in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]]]] | | A '''Pull Star''' is an object in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' that helps [[Mario]] proceed through a level. It resembles a small, blue version of a [[Launch Star]] inside a blue bubble or orb. Additionally, in some areas, such as the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and the [[Terrace]], it is shown that blue [[Luma (species)|Luma]]s actually transform into Pull Stars, in much the same way as yellow Lumas mostly transform into Launch Stars or [[Sling Star]]s, though Blue Lumas do not transform into Pull Stars in the sequel. Pull Stars can be found in virtually every galaxy between the two games. When the player touches one with the [[Star Cursor]], it uses a blue gravitational aura to lift Mario off the ground, pulling him up toward it. Combining the power of these Pull Stars and using them in tandem can help Mario reach astounding heights or areas. |
| Pull Stars can be found in virtually every [[galaxy]]. When the player touches one with the [[Star Pointer]], it uses a blue gravitational aura to lift Mario or Luigi off the ground, pulling him up toward it. Combining the power of these Pull Stars and using them in tandem can help either brother reach far heights or areas.

| | |
| In some areas, Pull Stars are found orbiting other objects in the galaxy, such as Launch Stars or [[Power Star]]s. The player must use the right one at the right time to touch the object without accidentally "slingshooting" past it. In areas such as the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and the [[Terrace (Super Mario Galaxy)|Terrace]], blue [[Luma]]s are shown to actually transform into Pull Stars, in much the same way as yellow Lumas mostly transform into Launch Stars or [[Sling Star]]s.

| | |
| As with Launch Stars, Pull Stars occasionally need to be assembled by gathering [[Star Chip]]s. Five blue Star Chips are needed to make a Pull Star or set of Pull Stars appear.
| |
| | |
| A single Pull Star appears in every [[dome]] onboard the [[Comet Observatory]], where the Pull Stars allow the player to view the galaxies that are accessible from that particular dome. When they select a galaxy to fly to, the Pull Star transforms into a Launch Star, which then shoots Mario or Luigi to that galaxy.

|
| Blue Star Capsule Planets are round glass planets that have a Pull Star in their center. There are three such planets in the [[Space Junk Galaxy#Blue Star Capsule Planets|Space Junk Galaxy]] and two in the [[Ghostly Galaxy#Blue Star Cupsule Planets|Ghostly Galaxy]]. If Mario gets pulled and held by these planets, he cannot be stationary unlike normal Pull Stars due to the shape of the planet; instead, he continuously bounces on their surface as he is getting pulled.

| ====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
| | As with Launch Stars, Pull Stars will occasionally need to be assembled by gathering [[Star Chip]]s. Five blue Star Chips are needed to make a Pull Star or set of Pull Stars appear. In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', they were very common, but in the sequel, they're virtually nonexistent. |
| Pull Stars return as objects in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', with the same role, although they appear much less frequently than in the previous game, appearing only in [[Bowser's Lava Lair]], the [[Space Storm Galaxy]], [[Melty Monster Galaxy]], and the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]]. Pull Stars are also never formed from blue Lumas or Star Chips. | |

| | A single Pull Star appears in every [[Dome]] onboard the [[Comet Observatory]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where they allow [[Mario]] to view the galaxies that are accessible from that particular Dome. When he selects a galaxy to fly to, the Pull Star transforms into a Launch Star, which then shoots him to that galaxy. In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', these were not needed, as [[Starship Mario]] simply travelled to each galaxy instead. |

When tapped on the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|GamePad]], Gravity Wells release a gravitational field that can pull a [[Mini]] to their center. To remove the gravitational field, the player has to tap the Gravity Well again. Gravity Wells can be used to protect a Mini from a long fall or to pull it from behind a wall.

| ==Profiles==
| | There are planet varieties of Pull Stars called {{conjecturaltext|Pull Star Planets|planets}}. Two galaxies contain them; three in [[Space Junk Galaxy]] and two in [[Ghostly Galaxy]]. They function identically to Pull Stars, but Mario can stand on them. If Mario gets pulled and held by these planets, he cannot be stationary unlike normal Pull Stars due to the shape of the planet; instead, he continuously bounces on their surface as he is getting pulled. |
