Polari's first appearance is in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' when Mario retrieves the first [[Grand Star]] and lands on the Comet Observatory. Polari looks at the beacon with Rosalina and exclaims that "now the poor Lumas may survive". When the player first enters the [[Terrace (Super Mario Galaxy)|Terrace]] they will meet Polari and a [[Luma|Blue Luma]] that soon transforms into a [[Pull Star]] to allow Mario to travel to galaxies. When Mario returns with one [[Power Star]] on his belt, Polari will teach him about Star Bits and how Lumas love eating them. Other than that, Polari's main importance within the game is to provide a map of all the galaxies that Mario can visit and their Power Stars and to inform Mario about when the enemy base has been located. | Polari's first appearance is in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' when Mario retrieves the first [[Grand Star]] and lands on the Comet Observatory.
