The '''Co-Star Luma''' is an orange [[Luma]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as a playable character and in the game's logo. The Co-Star Luma appears alongside [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) in the cooperative two-player mode known as [[Super Mario Galaxy 2#Gameplay elements|Co-Star Mode]], in which the second player is able to control it using the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]. It is similar in function to the second player's [[Star Pointer]] (which has a slightly lighter shade of orange) in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Once the Co-Star Luma appears, it follows behind Mario in the same manner as one of the mini-clouds that appear when the [[Cloud Flower]] is in use. If the Cloud Flower is actually in use, the Co-Star Luma always follows Mario behind the last mini-cloud that trails Mario's head, as opposed to directly behind him as it normally does. 

The Co-Star Luma can perform moves such as [[spin]]ning, in addition to collecting and shooting [[Star Bit]]s, just as the first player can. The Co-Star Luma can also perform other actions that a single player cannot, such as temporarily immobilizing certain [[List of enemies|enemies]] or barriers and picking up faraway objects, including [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, air [[bubble]]s (when underwater), and [[coin]]s, which the Co-Star Luma then brings back to Mario. The Co-Star Luma can also perform a variety of other actions: This includes activating [[switch]]es or other objects, touching [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s and causing them to retract their spikes, and spinning most Lumas (excluding [[Lubba]] and the [[Hungry Luma]]s) or Luigi to receive Star Bits. In addition, orange [[butterfly|butterflies]] appear in some [[galaxy|galaxies]] when the Co-Star Luma is present. When the Co-Star Luma stops and spins the butterflies, the butterflies release three Star Bits and disappear afterwards. A larger Co-Star Luma also appears on [[Starship Mario]] and tells Mario about Co-Star Mode.

If the Co-Star Luma is present when Mario collects a [[Power Star]] or a [[Grand Star]], it appears along with him in the "You got a Star/Grand Star!" victory pose.

The player controlling the Co-Star Luma can make sounds on both Wii Remotes by pressing various buttons on their controller:

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Co-Star Luma makes a cameo appearance on the Starship Mario [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].
