Launch Stars are not always readily available for Mario to use. In some cases, Mario must complete a certain task or objective before the Launch Star appears, such as collecting five yellow [[Star Chip]]s, eliminating all the enemies on a particular planet, or freeing a yellow [[Luma]] or the Launch Star itself from a [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|crystal]] or a cage. In addition, yellow Lumas are also able to transform into Launch Stars independently, though this is more common in the game's sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' (the player usually has to free the Luma from a cage before it transforms into a Launch Star, though this is not always the case). It is revealed in this game that these Lumas still retain the ability to talk to Mario while in Launch Star form.

Launch Stars often let Mario fly through space for a short time before landing on another planet, unlike their smaller related items, [[Sling Star]]s, which often fling Mario directly to another planet, with very little space in between. While flying through space, Mario occasionally hits a floating [[Star Piece Cluster]] that has been placed directly in the path of the Launch Star, and it often releases multiple [[Star Bit]]s that float around Mario until he lands on the planet. Mario can collect these Star Bits when the player touches them with the [[Star Pointer]].
