A '''Lumalee''', also named a '''Salesman Luma''',<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 10.</ref> is a cyan [[Luma]] who appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. A Lumalee's appearance is very similar to that of a [[Hungry Luma]] and [[Comet Tico]], holding up signs depicting a [[Life Mushroom]] and a [[1-Up Mushroom]].

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
A Lumalee serves as a "shop," where [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) can purchase either a Life Mushroom or a 1-Up Mushroom for 30 [[Star Bit]]s. Lumalees can be found in several [[galaxy|galaxies]] and tend to appear before boss battles. Once Mario has made his choice of purchase, a Lumalee is fed the right number of Star Bits automatically and proceeds to transform into the mushroom of his choosing for him to collect. Because of this transformation, Mario can buy only one item from a Lumalee per appearance in that playthrough of the stage.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
He is the bad guy. He secretly killed Rosalina and the other princess'. Now he is of to kill princess Peach

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===

Lumalee appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' and is the only Luma that appears in the film. In the English release of the movie, Lumalee is voiced by [[Juliet Jelenic]], the daughter of the movie's co-director [[Michael Jelenic]].<ref>[https://dam.gettyimages.com/universal/supermariobrosmovie "''Lumaleee (Juliet Jelenic) in Nintendo and Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic.''" – Caption for the screenshot of Lumalee on Getty Images]</ref> Some of his sound effects, however, are reused voice clips of Lumas provided by [[Yuya Takezawa]]. Jelenic explained in an interview that her voice was recorded as a placeholder, but it was ultimately used in the final release as they were unable to find actors with a voice that provided the desired dissonance.<ref>[https://discussingfilm.net/2023/04/20/the-super-mario-bros-movie-directors-aaron-horvath-michael-jelenic-talk-the-immense-pressure-from-fans-exclusive-interview/ ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ Directors Aaron Horvath & Michael Jelenic Talk the Immense Pressure from Fans – Exclusive Interview] (April 20, 2023).  Wade, A. Felicia. ''Discussing Film''. Retrieved April 26, 2023</ref>

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, much to the despair of the other prisoners. 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 end 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." He then plays the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' on a saxophone to start off the [[List of The Super Mario Bros. Movie staff|end credits]] music.

A figure of a Lumalee appeared in a line of ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'' toys released by {{wp|McDonald's}} as part of a [[Happy Meal]] promotion outside Europe and Oceania. The release of this toy predated any official, explicit announcement of a Lumalee character appearing in the movie. The character was later revealed officially in the movie's third and final trailer.<ref>Illumination (March 9, 2023). [https://youtu.be/RjNcTBXTk4I The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Final Trailer].

==Trivia==
*In the Japanese versions of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Lumalee's dialogue does not make reference to the Luma species or its own name, instead singing,「ピカリン」(''pikarin''), an expression that suggests something flashy.
