'''Hungry Lumas''' are a type of [[Luma]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. These slightly chubby pink Lumas have visible mouths (unlike regular Lumas). Similar to a [[Lumalee]] and [[Comet Tico]], Hungry Lumas are always seen carrying two sticks (one in each hand) that have either color-changing [[Star Bit]]s or [[coin]]s on the end, the latter appearing only in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.

Hungry Lumas tend to appear as part of hidden [[Power Star|Star]] missions; in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', they also appear on the [[Comet Observatory]]. In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Hungry Lumas appear on the World Map, and they can be called to [[Starship Mario]]. When [[Mario]] finds a Hungry Luma, he must feed it a certain number of Star Bits or coins, making it larger and larger, until it transforms into a new planet or [[galaxy]]; the transformation is usually permanent, and the resulting planet or galaxy can be visited at the player's leisure. The only Hungry Luma that reverts to its previous form after is the one that transforms into the Tower Planet in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]]; this is done as a part of one of the galaxy's main [[mission]]s, and thus the Luma must be fed 100 Star Bits to transform each time the [[level]] is replayed, since the planet does not remain after the level has been completed. Often, the player is able to travel to the newly created planet or galaxy via a pink [[Launch Star]] right after the Hungry Luma transforms; an exception is the one that transforms into the [[Sea Slide Galaxy#Van-Van Vanish Lv2 Zone|Van-Van Vanish Lv2 Zone]] in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], as the planet is accessible by [[cannon]].

Hungry Lumas found throughout individual galaxies usually require a smaller number of Star Bits to transform into planets, while Hungry Lumas that appear on the Comet Observatory or are called to Starship Mario require larger numbers of Star Bits to create entire galaxies. In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', there is a total of seven Hungry Lumas that appear on the Comet Observatory (one outside each [[dome]] and the [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|Gate]]). In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', seven more Hungry Lumas can be called to Starship Mario from each of the seven [[World#Super Mario Galaxy 2|worlds]]. Both games also feature seven planet-creating Hungry Lumas, for a total of 28 Hungry Lumas.

'''Hungry Lumas''' are pink, slightly chubby [[Luma (species)|Luma]]s that have visible mouths (unlike regular Lumas) and appear in both ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Similar to a [[Luma Shop|Lumalee]], Hungry Lumas are always seen carrying two sticks (one in each hand) which will either have color-changing [[Star Bit]]s or [[coin]]s on the end, depending on the game. When [[Mario]] finds a Hungry Luma, he must feed it a certain number of Star Bits or coins, at which point it will transform into a new [[planet]] or [[galaxy]]. Often, the player will be able to travel to the newly-created planet or galaxy via a pink [[Launch Star]] immediately after the Hungry Luma transforms.  
In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', a planet created by a Hungry Luma within a galaxy features a unique background matching the appearance of the Hungry Lumas themselves—a clear pink sky with a hint of a lighter yellow color.


They can also continue with the level as usual if they prefer to do so (the planet or galaxy will still be there the next time that area is visited). Hungry Lumas found throughout individual galaxies will usually require a smaller amount of Star Bits, as they only transform into planets, while Hungry Lumas that appear on the [[Comet Observatory]] or are called to [[Starship Mario]] will require larger amounts of Star Bits, as they create entire galaxies when fed. In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', there are a total of seven Hungry Lumas that will appear on the Comet Observatory (one outside each [[Dome]] and the [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|Gate]]). In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', seven more Hungry Lumas can be called to Starship Mario from each of the seven [[World#Super Mario Galaxy 2|Worlds]].

*The only Hungry Luma that will not leave behind a pink [[Launch Star]] after being fed is the one that transforms into the [[Sea Slide Galaxy#Hurry-Scurry Planet|Hurry-Scurry Planet]] in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

*In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the [[Sweet Sweet Galaxy]] and the [[Sand Spiral Galaxy]] can both be reached without using a pink [[Launch Star]] via a glitch: after talking to the Hungry Luma to make the Launch Star appear, [[Flying Mario]] can be used to access the portals instead.
*In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', every Hungry Luma in the game wanted to be fed [[Star Bit]]s. However, in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', only the Hungry Lumas found on the [[Grand World Map]] want Star Bits, as every Hungry Luma that appears throughout the galaxies in the game now desire [[coin]]s instead.
*There are a total of seven planet-forming Hungry Lumas as well as seven galaxy-forming Hungry Lumas in both ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|sequel]]. It is unknown if this was done intentionally or if this is simply a coincidence.
*Note that the only Hungry Luma that will actually revert back to its Hungry Luma form ''after'' transforming is the one that transforms into the [[Good Egg Galaxy#Tower Planet|Tower Planet]] in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. This is because the Hungry Luma's transformation is actually a part of one of the main missions in the Good Egg Galaxy, as opposed to a hidden star mission. Therefore, the Hungry Luma must be fed 100 [[Star Bit]]s to transform each time the level is replayed, as the planet will not remain after the level has been completed.
*All Hungry Lumas planets that appear in galaxies have pink skies.

Hungry Luma, Super Mario Galaxy

Hungry Lumas are a type of Luma that appears in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. These slightly chubby pink Lumas have visible mouths (unlike regular Lumas). Similar to a Lumalee and Comet Tico, Hungry Lumas are always seen carrying two sticks (one in each hand) that have either color-changing Star Bits or coins on the end, the latter appearing only in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

A screenshot of a Hungry Luma nearly filled with Star Bits
Hungry Lumas become large and swollen when fed the number of requested Star Bits.

Hungry Lumas tend to appear as part of hidden Star missions; in Super Mario Galaxy, they also appear on the Comet Observatory. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Hungry Lumas appear on the World Map, and they can be called to Starship Mario. When Mario finds a Hungry Luma, he must feed it a certain number of Star Bits or coins, making it larger and larger, until it transforms into a new planet or galaxy; the transformation is usually permanent, and the resulting planet or galaxy can be visited at the player's leisure. The only Hungry Luma that reverts to its previous form after is the one that transforms into the Tower Planet in the Good Egg Galaxy; this is done as a part of one of the galaxy's main missions, and thus the Luma must be fed 100 Star Bits to transform each time the level is replayed, since the planet does not remain after the level has been completed. Often, the player is able to travel to the newly created planet or galaxy via a pink Launch Star right after the Hungry Luma transforms; an exception is the one that transforms into the Van-Van Vanish Lv2 Zone in the Sea Slide Galaxy, as the planet is accessible by cannon.

Hungry Lumas found throughout individual galaxies usually require a smaller number of Star Bits to transform into planets, while Hungry Lumas that appear on the Comet Observatory or are called to Starship Mario require larger numbers of Star Bits to create entire galaxies. In Super Mario Galaxy, there is a total of seven Hungry Lumas that appear on the Comet Observatory (one outside each dome and the Gate). In Super Mario Galaxy 2, seven more Hungry Lumas can be called to Starship Mario from each of the seven worlds. Both games also feature seven planet-creating Hungry Lumas, for a total of 28 Hungry Lumas.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, a planet created by a Hungry Luma within a galaxy features a unique background matching the appearance of the Hungry Lumas themselves—a clear pink sky with a hint of a lighter yellow color.

The appearances of Hungry Lumas in both games are listed below:

Mario Golf: World Tour / Mario Sports Superstars[edit]

A normal-sized Hungry Luma and a second one that is about to transform appear in Mario Golf: World Tour, making a cameo appearance in Rosalina's eagle, albatross, and hole-in-one animations. However, one of the Hungry Lumas holds wands with a Life Mushroom and 1-Up Mushroom on them, as a Lumalee does. The animation is also used in Mario Sports Superstars.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

The Hungry Luma appears as a support spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, increasing the duration of transformation items when equipped. Its spirit battle is against a pink Rosalina and Luma and an orange Kirby on the Mario Galaxy stage with Super Launch Star items.

Image Name Description

HungryLumaTradingCard.png Hungry Luma Pinkish in color, Hungry Lumas are known to have wide open mouths and carry sticks with Star Bits on the end of them. When Hungry Lumas appear, Mario must feed them Star Bits. They will then transform into a new planet that he needs to explore. To help Mario get there, they will leave behind a Launch Star. Some Hungry Lumas will cost you more Star Bits than others—especially on the Comet Observatory.
