Super Mario Galaxy 2[]

Lumalee reappears in Super Mario Galaxy 2, instead holding Chance Cubes. Two Lumalees appear in Starship Mario. The first Lumalee will turn into a Chance Cube if paid 30 Star Bits. The second Lumalee will turn into five Chance Cubes if paid 100 coins. There is a chance of getting a Star Bit, a 1-Up Mushroom, three 1-Up Mushrooms, and five 1-Up Mushrooms.

Locations[]

Aside from appearing in Starship Mario's chance room, Lumalee can be found in the following galaxies, using the same design from the original Super Mario Galaxy where they still has the sticks with the 1-Up and Life Mushrooms and typically appears before boss areas:

  • Spin-Dig Galaxy - After Mario blasts off from the dirt planet with the tower, he will land on a red Starshroom that contains a checkpoint and the Launch Star that leads to the Digga-Leg's planet. Lumalee also appears here.
  • Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla - Just before the Launch Star that leads to the planet where Mario faces Bowser Jr.'s Gobblegut, he and Lumalee can meet up.
  • Puzzle Plank Galaxy - Upon leaving the area with the Grinder mob (which destroys the wooden planks planet), Mario will land on a small wooden sphere where Lumalee appears, next to the Checkpoint and the Launch Star.
  • Boulder Bowl Galaxy - On the third planet's moon in the mission Rock and Rollodillo, Lumalee can be found.
  • Freezy Flake Galaxy - After Mario makes his way through the misty maze during the mission Sorbetti's Chilly Reception, Lumalee can be found near the Launch Star that leads to Sorbetti's planet.
  • Flipsville Galaxy - Lumalee can meet Mario on a Starshroom that was parked high above the boss planet where Glamdozer lurks.
  • Slipsand Galaxy - Lumalee appears at the base of the slide with the rolling stones where a Launch Star takes Mario to the sink hole where the Squizzard makes his lair. They are on a platform to the northwest of the Launch Star (assuming that the pyramid is at the slide planet's north and the base is at the south).
  • Shiverburn Galaxy - Upon leaving the lava flat with the ice crystals, Mario will be intercepted by a Starshroom on his way to Prince Pikante. Lumalee appears here to give him supplies just before his duel with the boss.
  • Battle Belt Galaxy - After Mario makes his way past the pumpkin-shaped planet with the walking pumpkins that can summon flames, Lumalee will appear on a starshroom that intercepts Mario's path to the ice crystal-shaped planet where the Li'l Brr enemies lurk.
  • Boss Blitz Galaxy - After his duel with Major Burrows, Mario will land at the arena with Bouldergeist. Lumalee appears on the staircase that he needs to take to get there, next to the Checkpoint Flag.

Lumalee's artwork

Lumalee makes an appearance in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, where he was first revealed in the final trailer. He speaks in a child's voice, with his monologues asserting that there is no hope of escape except death. The penguin king describes him as insane despite their character being cute and tells Luigi to ignore the Lumalee-esque Luma's ramblings.
