The '''Star Festival''' is an event in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] that celebrates a [[Comet Observatory|special comet]] that passes through the skies once every century and releases [[Star Bit]]s. The [[Toad (species)|Toads]] of the Mushroom Kingdom gather in the [[Castle Gardens]] outside [[Peach's Castle]] to collect these Star Bits and combine them to form a powerful [[Grand Star]], which is then brought to the castle. During this festival, [[Princess Peach]] stumbles upon [[Baby Luma]].


The '''Star Festival''' is an event that occurs once every century in the Mushroom Kingdom. The festival is held by the kingdom's citizens in celebration of a special comet that passes through the skies above the Mushroom Kingdom once every one hundred years. One of these centennial Star Festivals was featured in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and the event would serve as the basis for [[Mario]]'s adventure across the universe.
At the beginning of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', [[Mario]] is invited by a [[letter]] to the Star Festival by Princess Peach, who wants to give Baby Luma as a special gift. [[Bowser]] then appears and attacks with a fleet of [[airship]]s, eventually abducting Peach's Castle with Peach inside.


During the events of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the [[Toads]] of the Mushroom Kingdom gathered in the [[Castle Gardens]] outside [[Princess Peach's Castle]] to celebrate the centennial Star Festival. This year, the comet released a variety of shooting stars, in the form of [[Star Bit]]s, that landed on the ground below. During the festival, the Toads enjoyed collecting these Star Bits that had fallen from the sky. Some of these shooting stars even combined to form a powerful [[Grand Star]], which was brought to Peach's Castle by the Toads. Princess Peach even stumbled upon a special star creature named [[Luma (character)|Luma]].
After Bowser is beaten and Mario and [[Luigi]] have each collected all 120 [[Power Star]]s, the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] is unlocked, where [[The Star Festival]] occurs again, due to the universe being recreated.

Mario was invited by letter to this particular Star Festival by Princess Peach herself, who wanted to give Luma to him as a special gift. Mario arrived just in time for the festivities, and indeed was the last guest to arrive at the Castle Gardens for the centennial celebration. All was going well, until Bowser crashed the party. With a fleet of [[airship]]s, Bowser launched an assault on the Mushroom Kingdom, eventually abducting Peach's Castle with the Princess inside. With a special flying saucer, Bowser transported his fleet and the castle to the [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor|center of the universe]]. This assault was part of Bowser's plan to conquer the entire universe, and rule a great galactic empire with Peach by his side.


Bowser was using the power of the Grand Stars to re-create the universe as he saw fit. These Grand Stars were stolen from the [[Comet Observatory]], a mobile space station inhabited by [[Rosalina]], the protector of the cosmos. In fact the "comet" celebrated every century by the Mushroom Kingdom was actually this mobile space station. Rosalina would fly the Comet Observatory by her [[Mushroom World|home planet]] every one hundred years, and this particular year Bowser attacked the space station and stole the Grand Stars that powered the Observatory. Indeed, the raining of shooting stars this year may have been caused by Bowser's assault on the Comet Observatory.
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the Star Festival occurs again. Once again, it is interrupted by Bowser, who has used the Power Stars to become a [[Giant Bowser|giant]]. Unlike its predecessor, the Star Festival in this game [[Unrevisitable area|can only be visited once]].
 
After the universe is saved from Bowser and reconstituted by the Lumas, and both Mario and [[Luigi]] have each collected all 120 [[Power Star]]s, the two can travel to the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] to celebrate a second attempt at a Star Festival. Like before, Mario and Luigi arrive just in time for the festivities. Many of the characters Mario and Luigi encountered in their journey across the cosmos appeared in the Castle Gardens, celebrating the centennial Star Festival with the Toads.

Not to be confused with Star Carnival.
Castle Gardens
Mario and the Toads celebrating the Star Festival
“Shimmering stardust falls on the Mushroom Kingdom once a century. That time had come again...”
—Narrator, Super Mario Galaxy 2

The Star Festival is an event in the Mushroom Kingdom that celebrates a special comet that passes through the skies once every century and releases Star Bits. The Toads of the Mushroom Kingdom gather in the Castle Gardens outside Peach's Castle to collect these Star Bits and combine them to form a powerful Grand Star, which is then brought to the castle. During this festival, Princess Peach stumbles upon Baby Luma.

At the beginning of Super Mario Galaxy, Mario is invited by a letter to the Star Festival by Princess Peach, who wants to give Baby Luma as a special gift. Bowser then appears and attacks with a fleet of airships, eventually abducting Peach's Castle with Peach inside.

After Bowser is beaten and Mario and Luigi have each collected all 120 Power Stars, the Grand Finale Galaxy is unlocked, where The Star Festival occurs again, due to the universe being recreated.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Star Festival occurs again. Once again, it is interrupted by Bowser, who has used the Power Stars to become a giant. Unlike its predecessor, the Star Festival in this game can only be visited once.
