{{llquote|This is a Red Star. It holds the power of the [[Luma (species)#Color Variations|Red Lumas]]. But the really amazing part about it is, it allows you to fly after you [[spin]] in midair. Yes, FLY!|[[Luma (species)#Color Variations|Red Luma]]|[[Super Mario Galaxy]]}}

The '''Red Star''' is an item that appears only in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It resembles a red [[Grand Star]] and holds the power of the [[Luma (species)#Color Variations|Red Lumas]], one of whom first gives [[Mario]] the Red Star in the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. It transforms Mario into [[Flying Mario]], who has the ability to fly through the air, similar to [[Wing Mario]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. However, unlike the effects of the [[Wing Cap]], the Red Star allows Mario to fly more freely, changes the color of his clothes, gives the player no wings, and is self-propelled, like the [[P-Wing]], and also would grant Mario a gravitational pull when he spins pulling in star-bits, and coins on ground or in flight.

After obtaining the Red Star, Mario's clothing changes. Instead of his normal red cap and blue overalls, he wears a black cap and black overalls, while his red shirt remains unchanged. While flying, Mario's hands glow, and he leaves red streaks in his path. By holding {{button|wii|A}}, Mario will stop in midair, and red streaks will point in the direction he is facing. After collecting a Red Star, flight is activated by executing a [[Spin|Star Spin]] in the air, as opposed to performing a [[Triple Jump]], as is required with Wing Mario.

 

Red Stars play a very limited role in the game. Other than allowing Mario to complete a [[Purple Coin]] challenge in the Gateway Galaxy, the only other appearance of any Red Stars in the entire game is in the [[Comet Observatory]], where they can be used for exploration, and for reaching a few [[1-Up Mushroom]]s that are otherwise inaccessible, such as the one on top of the [[Garden]] spire and the one beneath the [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|Gate]].
