Lumalee is one of [[Bowser]]'s captives, alongside [[Luigi]], the [[Penguin King]], some [[penguin]]s, and some [[Goomba]]s, as well as the [[Kong]]s later on in the film. He has a child's voice and a somewhat twisted and nihilistic personality. The Penguin King tells Luigi to ignore him and that he is "cute but [cuckoo]." He is shown annoying the other prisoners, especially the Penguin King, with his cheerfully suicidal demeanor. He exclaims that time, like hope, is an illusion and that death is the only escape from their imprisonment. The Lumalee is later excited to die in the [[lava]] at Bowser's royal wedding along with the other prisoners, but he is freed from his imprisonment by [[Mario]] and [[Donkey Kong]], which visibly dismays him. After the ending of the film, Lumalee appears and [[Fourth wall|tells the audience]] that since the film is over, all that is left is them and the "infinite void. | Lumalee is one of [[Bowser]]'s captives, alongside [[Luigi]], the [[Penguin King]], some [[penguin]]s, and some [[Goomba]]s, as well as the [[Kong]]s later on in the film.
