Launch Stars are large | A '''Launch Star''' is an object that launches [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to different planets in outer space, introduced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Launch Stars are large stars, usually colored orange, that hover just above the ground of a planet, though they can sometimes appear floating in the air above a planet, or just floating in space. | ||

Though usually immovable, a Launch Star always stays (or appears after the player collects five Star Chips) in its permanent location. However, one Launch Star can actually be moved upwards and downwards regardless of where it sends the player. In the mission [[Sunbaked Sand Castle]] in the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]], the player must go to the second planet and collect five Star Chips to make the Launch Star appear on top of the tower. Since the player can make the tower rise or sink by pressing a [[Ground-Pound Switch|Ground Pound Switch]], the Launch Star can also rise or sink along with the tower, but it does not sink into the sand. | Though usually immovable, a Launch Star always stays (or appears after the player collects five Star Chips) in its permanent location.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Launch Stars function identically as in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. The path of each Launch Star that Mario uses appears before he uses it for the first time, as well as each time he uses it following the first time. One exception to this is in the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]], where no path is projected. | |||

[[File: | Launch Stars appear in two games of the [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'' series]], having a different role between both appearances. In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', Launch Stars appear in the Special Game, [[Galaxy Rally]], where the player can complete the meter, and by extension the Launch Star, by collecting Star Chips. For every consecutive hit by the ball, the Launch Star gives the player five more [[coin]]s. The Launch Star's meter depletes after a certain amount of time. Once the meter reaches zero, the Launch Star disappears, and Star Chips reappear. In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Launch Stars appear only during [[Luma]]'s [[Special Shot]] animation, where differently colored Lumas appear around the playable Luma and transform into Launch Stars, shooting the playable Luma from one to another to help him hit the ball with a powerful strike. | ||

[[File:SSBUltimate Launch Star.jpg|thumb|[[Ness]] being launched by a Launch Star]] | In addition to serving as the basis of Rosalina's up special, the Launch Star from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' appears as an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', under the name '''Super Launch Star''' (though it was referred to as simply a Launch Star in some pre-release material). It can be deployed similarly to a [[Bumper (Super Smash Bros. series)|Bumper]] by picking it up and throwing it, and points horizontally if it is thrown to the left or right, or vertically if it is thrown upwards or downwards. After it is deployed, any fighter who runs into it is automatically launched in the opposite direction it was thrown. | ||
