===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
[[File:SMG2 Lubba 77stars.png|thumb|upright=1.4|Lubba's response to the player having 77 Power Stars, from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
In the story of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Lubba is first seen after Mario completes [[Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum]], the first [[mission]] of the [[Sky Station Galaxy]]. Prior to the game's events, [[Bowser]] destroyed Lubba's first spaceship by firing several meteors at it, causing most of the Lumas on the ship to fall down to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. After Mario brings back the "[[Baby Luma|young master Luma]]", Lubba thanks him and creates [[Starship Mario]] with his fellow Lumas and promptly appoints [[Mario]] the captain. Lubba aids and accompanies Mario in his quest to defeat Bowser, making a deal with him that, in return for Mario recovering the [[Power Star]]s, he helps Mario rescue [[Princess Peach]]. As the captain of the mobile hub of the game and the leader of the Lumas, he more or less replaces [[Rosalina]] and [[Polari]] of the previous ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' in this respect. Lubba mostly stands by Starship Mario's wheel and informs Mario of different things to help him out. However, he can also be found in some other places on the ship. Whenever a new item or passenger comes aboard the ship, Lubba appears somewhere else on the ship and tells Mario something about the new object or creature and/or cracks a joke about them. Whenever Mario enters a new world, Lubba flies off of Starship Mario and says something about Mario's progress. After Bowser is defeated and the final [[Power Star]] of the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] is collected and [[Rosalina]] boards Starship Mario, it is revealed that Lubba has met her before, though the exact place is unclear. Lubba thanks Mario for his hard work bringing whom he calls "The Lady of the Shooting Stars" on board the ship.


Lubba stands beside [[Starship Mario]]´s wheel, ready to dispense useful advice. Whenever Mario returns to the starship after meeting a special goal or unlocking something new, Lubba is right there to give him the full update. Talk to Lubba from time to time to learn more about the starship and the universe it's sailing through. Lubba is a wonderful resource for budding captains.
Lubba has various lines that appear during certain scenarios only. When playing early in the morning, Lubba's field speech bubble says "So...sleepy..." When spoken to, he says, "Geez. It's kinda early, isn't it? I feel so sleepy..." When the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]'s batteries are low, Lubba tells [[Mario]] to replace them and [[Fourth wall|warns that it will be bad]] if the batteries die in a dangerous place. When Mario has 77 Power Stars or 777 or 7,777 Star Bits, he says, "Hey, you have (number and object)! How lucky! ♪" Similarly, if the player has exactly 1,000 Star Bits, he says, "You have 1,000 Star Bits! That must feel pretty good!" Additionally, when Mario has 9,999 Star Bits, he says "What happens when you get 9,999 Star Bits? Something nice, I bet!"


After the final 242nd [[Power Star]] from the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] is collected and Rosalina boards Starship Mario, it is revealed that Lubba has met her before.  However, where he first met her is unknown.  He thanks Mario for his hard work bringing who he calls "The Lady of the Stars" on board the ship.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Lubba's response to the player having 77 Power Stars, from Super Mario Galaxy 2

In the story of Super Mario Galaxy 2, Lubba is first seen after Mario completes Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum, the first mission of the Sky Station Galaxy. Prior to the game's events, Bowser destroyed Lubba's first spaceship by firing several meteors at it, causing most of the Lumas on the ship to fall down to the Mushroom Kingdom. After Mario brings back the "young master Luma", Lubba thanks him and creates Starship Mario with his fellow Lumas and promptly appoints Mario the captain. Lubba aids and accompanies Mario in his quest to defeat Bowser, making a deal with him that, in return for Mario recovering the Power Stars, he helps Mario rescue Princess Peach. As the captain of the mobile hub of the game and the leader of the Lumas, he more or less replaces Rosalina and Polari of the previous Super Mario Galaxy in this respect. Lubba mostly stands by Starship Mario's wheel and informs Mario of different things to help him out. However, he can also be found in some other places on the ship. Whenever a new item or passenger comes aboard the ship, Lubba appears somewhere else on the ship and tells Mario something about the new object or creature and/or cracks a joke about them. Whenever Mario enters a new world, Lubba flies off of Starship Mario and says something about Mario's progress. After Bowser is defeated and the final Power Star of the Grandmaster Galaxy is collected and Rosalina boards Starship Mario, it is revealed that Lubba has met her before, though the exact place is unclear. Lubba thanks Mario for his hard work bringing whom he calls "The Lady of the Shooting Stars" on board the ship.

Lubba has various lines that appear during certain scenarios only. When playing early in the morning, Lubba's field speech bubble says "So...sleepy..." When spoken to, he says, "Geez. It's kinda early, isn't it? I feel so sleepy..." When the Wii Remote's batteries are low, Lubba tells Mario to replace them and warns that it will be bad if the batteries die in a dangerous place. When Mario has 77 Power Stars or 777 or 7,777 Star Bits, he says, "Hey, you have (number and object)! How lucky! ♪" Similarly, if the player has exactly 1,000 Star Bits, he says, "You have 1,000 Star Bits! That must feel pretty good!" Additionally, when Mario has 9,999 Star Bits, he says "What happens when you get 9,999 Star Bits? Something nice, I bet!"
