A '''Red Star''' is an [[List of items|item]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It resembles a red [[Grand Star]] and holds the power of the [[Luma#Color variations|Red Lumas]], one of whom first gives [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] a Red Star in the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. It transforms him into [[Flying Mario]] or Flying Luigi, respectively, who has the ability to [[fly]] through the air, comparably to [[Wing Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. A difference is that a Red Star allows the player character to fly more freely, changes the color of his clothes, does not grant him wings, and is self-propelled, like the [[P-Wing]]. While Mario or Luigi flies, his hands glow, and he leaves red streaks in his path. Instead of his normal red or green [[cap]] and blue overalls, Mario or Luigi wears a black or dark-green cap and overalls and red or green shoes, respectively. The Red Star additionally pulls in nearby [[Star Bit]]s and [[coin]]s on the ground or in flight when he [[spin|star-spin]]s. By holding {{button|wii|A}}, the player stops in midair, and red streaks point in the direction Mario or Luigi is facing. After the player collects a Red Star, flight is activated by executing a Star-Spin in the air, not a [[Triple Jump]] like with Wing Mario. In the [[Comet Observatory]] only, Red Stars can be used for exploration and reaching a few [[1-Up Mushroom]]s that are otherwise inaccessible, such as the one on top of the [[Garden (Super Mario Galaxy)|Garden]] spire and the one beneath the [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|Gate]].
