==History==
===Background===
As chronicled in [[Rosalina's Story]], Luma was first met by a young [[Rosalina]] near a rusted spaceship; he explained to her that he was awaiting his mother, who was coming for him on a comet. Rosalina promised to wait with him, and the two eventually repaired the spaceship with the intent of using it to search for her themselves. As the pair traveled through the cosmos, they came across a comet made of ice and, though there was no sign of Luma's mother, decided to remain on it as they continued their search. One night, after dreaming of her own mother leaving her, Rosalina took Luma in her arms and adopted him as her own, promising to take care of him herself from then on.


'''Luma''' is a major character in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Like many [[Mario (series)|''Mario'']] characters, he is named after his [[Luma (species)|species]].
Using materials they found frozen beneath the comet's ice, Rosalina and Luma constructed a house for themselves. Following the arrival of more of his kind from a nearby planet, Luma began to fight with them over Rosalina, who proceeded to welcome them into her new home and give names to them all. Some time later, when reminded of her former home and family, Rosalina became saddened once more - to cheer her up, Luma reminded her that her mother would always be a part of her and transformed into a [[Comet Observatory|comet]], allowing her to visit her home planet every hundred years.

===Background===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
Luma's story begins when he was separated from his mother. He finds young [[Rosalina]] and asked her to help him find his mama. Rosalina repaired a rusty, old ship and together, she and Luma began a long search for his mom. One day they found a comet which Luma said his mother traveled on. However there was no sign of Luma's mother. Rosalina and Luma finally gave up hope of finding Luma's mother. However, Rosalina soon discovered that buried in the comet are tools and building material. Together, the duo built a small settlement. After it was completed, the building seemed rather big for just two people. Not long after, another Luma appeared traveling on a comet. Luma and the newcomer fought over Rosalina's love. More and more Lumas flew out of the comet shouting "My mama" at Rosalina. Rosalina adopted all the Lumas and became their mother. One night Luma found Rosalina crying and comforted her, asking her why she was crying. Rosalina told Luma that her mother is dead and even though she knew, she refused to believe it until then. Rosalina thanked Luma and the two hugged each other.
[[File:Peach holds Luma SMG.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Peach holding Luma in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
Many centuries later, [[Bowser]] attacked the Observatory and stole the [[Grand Star]]s it requires to function. It is presumed that during the confrontation, the reborn Luma was knocked from his home and fell to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] below. Luma is then found by [[Princess Peach]], who invites [[Mario]] to her castle during the [[Star Festival]] to show him her discovery. After Mario is sent flying off into the cosmos by [[Kamek]]'s attack, Peach sends Luma after him as her castle is towed away by Bowser's forces to the center of the universe.
 
Luma is formally introduced to Mario when he awakens on a planet within the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. After giving him a brief tutorial and a game of hide-and-seek, the star child determines Mario may be capable of helping Rosalina and joins him at his mother's request, taking up residence beneath the [[Mario Cap]] and in the process granting him the [[Spin]] maneuver. Together, the two make their way through numerous galaxies and slowly reclaim the lost [[Power Star]]s, eventually returning enough power to the observatory's [[Beacon]] to allow themselves access to [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], where Mario uses Luma's powers to defeat the Koopa King once and for all.
 
Following Bowser's defeat and the rescue of the final Grand Star, the star it had already begun to form implodes on itself due to a lack of power. The ensuing black hole begins to rapidly consume the entire universe. Luma then appears from the Mario Cap and, after a wave goodbye, flings himself into the heart of the catastrophe, and is followed by the other Lumas. Their efforts succeed in stabilizing the black hole, destroying it and restoring the cosmos to their former state.
 
After the player collects all 120 Power Stars and defeats the final boss once more, a secret ending is displayed, in which Rosalina is shown thanking the player and promising to watch over them from beyond the stars before departing from the Gateway Galaxy in the observatory. The scene then shifts to the dilapidated spaceship from her storybook, with Luma peering out from inside; he waves once more at the camera before rising up toward the stars and out of sight.
 
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:Mario finds Baby Luma SMG2 screenshot.png|left|thumb|Mario finds the lost Baby Luma in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
Luma makes his second appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where he is called Baby Luma. He is found in the prologue of the game lying on the ground and immediately takes a shine to [[Mario]]. Baby Luma flies into the [[Mario Cap]], and Mario's body begins to tingle, giving him the power to spin. Mario later meets two other yellow Lumas, which call Baby Luma "young master Luma" and send Mario off to the [[Sky Station Galaxy]]. Baby Luma is later reunited with [[Lubba]], who thanks Mario for saving him, and together, Mario and Baby Luma travel through many new galaxies to defeat [[Bowser]] once again.
 
After Bowser is defeated, Mario returns to [[Starship Mario]] with [[Princess Peach]] and the [[Grand Star]], after which Rosalina appears in her [[Comet Observatory]]. She explains to Mario that she knew all along that she would someday be reunited with Baby Luma, because there is a power even beyond that of the stars that governs the destiny of them all. After promising that he will never ever forget about Mario and taking Mario's cap as a souvenir, Baby Luma rejoins Rosalina and leaves with her.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:LumaSuperMarioKun.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Page 66, where Baby Luma first appears. He introduces himself and wants to play with Mario. Mario is reminded of cookies by Baby Luma's appearance, and does not want to play with him and would rather play his [[Nintendo DS]], much to Baby Luma's irritation. Mario does not want to do anything.]]
Baby Luma, alongside other Lumas, appears in volume 38 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' after Mario lands on a planet after he is swatted away by Bowser. He wants to play with Mario, but Mario does not want to do anything, after Mario loses his confidence. Just after Baby Luma tries to encourage Mario to get up and save Peach, a giant Goomba comes. Baby Luma wants Mario's help, though Mario refuses. Rosalina pops up and encourages Mario to fight the Goomba. Mario then learns the Star Spin technique and defeats the Goomba, who turns out to be just an illusion created by Rosalina to help Mario regain his confidence. They team up and help each other as the adventure progresses.
 
In this adaption, Baby Luma calls himself "A Star Child." He is also given a mouth, mostly to illustrate facial expressions better. The cover also depicts Baby Luma as a yellow Luma instead of a cream-colored one.
 
===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
Baby Luma makes a cameo in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' during one of Rosalina's animations, specifically whenever she scores an [[List of golfing terms#Eagle|eagle]], [[List of golfing terms#Albatross|albatross]], or [[List of golfing terms#Hole-in-one|hole-in-one]]. He is seen wearing Mario's cap like he does in the ending of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Rosalina and a [[Luma]] are collectively playable as a singular character. While the first Luma spawned during battle will always be yellow in color, one of the alternate colors for any subsequent Lumas spawned during the match is modeled after Baby Luma. This character is also present in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' in the form of a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], which can be obtained when it appears at random in one of the game's single-player modes.


Later on, Luma transformed into the [[Comet Observatory]] to provide a new home for the Lumas and Rosalina. However he was re-born and nurtured for by Rosalina until he became a full grown Luma again.
===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
Due to ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'' reusing Rosalina's golf animations from ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', Baby Luma reappears in this game in the same capacity.

Sometime later, [[Princess Peach]] found Luma and planned to give him as a present to [[Mario]]. However, just as Mario was arriving, [[Bowser]] kidnapped Peach by hoisting her castle into space. Luma escapes to a nearby planet in the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. Meanwhile, Mario is attacked by a minion of Bowser and sent to the Luma's hiding spot. Luma and his friends convince Mario to play a game of hide-and-go-seek with them. When Mario finds them Rosalina appears and tells Mario that in order to save Princess Peach, the now broken [[Comet Observatory]] needs to be fixed using Grand Stars so it can fly to where Bowser is keeping Peach. Luma decides to help Mario and, bestowing Mario the power to [[Spinning|Spin]], the two begin the hunt for the Grand Stars. Traveling from galaxy to galaxy the two track down the Grand stars and slowly, the Comet Observatory becomes more powerful.

While Mario explores the galaxies, he will meet many different Luma''{{sic}}'', from helpful black Luma''{{sic}}'' that manage the charts of the cosmos to green Luma''{{sic}}'' that hide a special secret.''


When the last Star is recovered, the Comet Observatory flies to the center of the [[universe]] where Bowser has created a huge sun. After a final duel, Mario and Luma defeat Bowser, destroy the sun and rescue Princess Peach. However, Bowser's dying sun creates a huge black hole and all the Lumas including Luma fly into it to stop it. Before being killed, Luma waves sadly goodbye to Mario and then dives. However, it is revealed Luma has been reborn, as all Lumas do, on another planet and is waiting for Mario's return. In the very final cutscene of the game, Luma can be seen in his and Rosalina's ship, waving at the camera and then flying upwards.

Baby Luma[1] (also referred to as Apricot Luma,[2] Little Luma,[3] young master Luma,[4] or simply Luma) is a major character in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

History[edit]

Background[edit]

As chronicled in Rosalina's Story, Luma was first met by a young Rosalina near a rusted spaceship; he explained to her that he was awaiting his mother, who was coming for him on a comet. Rosalina promised to wait with him, and the two eventually repaired the spaceship with the intent of using it to search for her themselves. As the pair traveled through the cosmos, they came across a comet made of ice and, though there was no sign of Luma's mother, decided to remain on it as they continued their search. One night, after dreaming of her own mother leaving her, Rosalina took Luma in her arms and adopted him as her own, promising to take care of him herself from then on.

Using materials they found frozen beneath the comet's ice, Rosalina and Luma constructed a house for themselves. Following the arrival of more of his kind from a nearby planet, Luma began to fight with them over Rosalina, who proceeded to welcome them into her new home and give names to them all. Some time later, when reminded of her former home and family, Rosalina became saddened once more - to cheer her up, Luma reminded her that her mother would always be a part of her and transformed into a comet, allowing her to visit her home planet every hundred years.

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Many centuries later, Bowser attacked the Observatory and stole the Grand Stars it requires to function. It is presumed that during the confrontation, the reborn Luma was knocked from his home and fell to the Mushroom Kingdom below. Luma is then found by Princess Peach, who invites Mario to her castle during the Star Festival to show him her discovery. After Mario is sent flying off into the cosmos by Kamek's attack, Peach sends Luma after him as her castle is towed away by Bowser's forces to the center of the universe.

Luma is formally introduced to Mario when he awakens on a planet within the Gateway Galaxy. After giving him a brief tutorial and a game of hide-and-seek, the star child determines Mario may be capable of helping Rosalina and joins him at his mother's request, taking up residence beneath the Mario Cap and in the process granting him the Spin maneuver. Together, the two make their way through numerous galaxies and slowly reclaim the lost Power Stars, eventually returning enough power to the observatory's Beacon to allow themselves access to Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, where Mario uses Luma's powers to defeat the Koopa King once and for all.

Following Bowser's defeat and the rescue of the final Grand Star, the star it had already begun to form implodes on itself due to a lack of power. The ensuing black hole begins to rapidly consume the entire universe. Luma then appears from the Mario Cap and, after a wave goodbye, flings himself into the heart of the catastrophe, and is followed by the other Lumas. Their efforts succeed in stabilizing the black hole, destroying it and restoring the cosmos to their former state.

After the player collects all 120 Power Stars and defeats the final boss once more, a secret ending is displayed, in which Rosalina is shown thanking the player and promising to watch over them from beyond the stars before departing from the Gateway Galaxy in the observatory. The scene then shifts to the dilapidated spaceship from her storybook, with Luma peering out from inside; he waves once more at the camera before rising up toward the stars and out of sight.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Luma makes his second appearance in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where he is called Baby Luma. He is found in the prologue of the game lying on the ground and immediately takes a shine to Mario. Baby Luma flies into the Mario Cap, and Mario's body begins to tingle, giving him the power to spin. Mario later meets two other yellow Lumas, which call Baby Luma "young master Luma" and send Mario off to the Sky Station Galaxy. Baby Luma is later reunited with Lubba, who thanks Mario for saving him, and together, Mario and Baby Luma travel through many new galaxies to defeat Bowser once again.

After Bowser is defeated, Mario returns to Starship Mario with Princess Peach and the Grand Star, after which Rosalina appears in her Comet Observatory. She explains to Mario that she knew all along that she would someday be reunited with Baby Luma, because there is a power even beyond that of the stars that governs the destiny of them all. After promising that he will never ever forget about Mario and taking Mario's cap as a souvenir, Baby Luma rejoins Rosalina and leaves with her.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Baby Luma, alongside other Lumas, appears in volume 38 of Super Mario-kun after Mario lands on a planet after he is swatted away by Bowser. He wants to play with Mario, but Mario does not want to do anything, after Mario loses his confidence. Just after Baby Luma tries to encourage Mario to get up and save Peach, a giant Goomba comes.

Mario then learns the Star Spin technique and defeats the Goomba, who turns out to be just an illusion created by Rosalina to help Mario regain his confidence. They team up and help each other as the adventure progresses.

In this adaption, Baby Luma calls himself "A Star Child." He is also given a mouth, mostly to illustrate facial expressions better. The cover also depicts Baby Luma as a yellow Luma instead of a cream-colored one.

Mario Golf: World Tour[edit]

Baby Luma makes a cameo in Mario Golf: World Tour during one of Rosalina's animations, specifically whenever she scores an eagle, albatross, or hole-in-one. He is seen wearing Mario's cap like he does in the ending of Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Rosalina and a Luma are collectively playable as a singular character. While the first Luma spawned during battle will always be yellow in color, one of the alternate colors for any subsequent Lumas spawned during the match is modeled after Baby Luma. This character is also present in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in the form of a trophy, which can be obtained when it appears at random in one of the game's single-player modes.

Mario Sports Superstars[edit]

Due to Mario Sports Superstars reusing Rosalina's golf animations from Mario Golf: World Tour, Baby Luma reappears in this game in the same capacity.
