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]].

==Trivia==
*This is the only power-up not to be listed in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' instruction booklet, probably because it is introduced near the end of the game.
*The Red Star is one of two power-ups not to return in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the other being the [[Ice Flower]]. However, like with the Ice Flower, the Red Star's theme returns, and is updated to match the other power-ups. Unlike the Ice Flower, though, Flying Mario is complete on the disc, suggesting it was cut very late in development. In fact, all the player has to do to use the Red Star is disable the "event table" for obtaining a power-up for the first time.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Galaxy_2#Unused_Power-Ups|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' Unused Power-Ups|publisher-The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=July 13, 2024}}</ref>
