After [[Mario]] collects his first [[Power Star]] from [[Peewee Piranha]], he finds himself on a rocky meteor-battered planetoid. It is captained by [[Lubba]], who commands a crew of [[Luma]]s. After beholding the Power Star, and seeing [[Baby Luma]]'s trust in Mario, he strikes a deal with Mario and hands the ship over to him, reshaping it to look like Mario's head for as long as he continues to collect Power Stars (though it actually remains this way for the remainder of the game).

Much like in [[Delfino Plaza]] from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario can ride [[Yoshi]] on Starship Mario. The [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] that contains him is located on the "nose" of the ship, having been obtained after Mario rescues Yoshi in the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]]. A small circular platform floating just above Starship Mario has many [[fruit (Yoshi food)|fruit]]s, as well as three [[Boards (characters)|Boards]] that advise the player on how to control Yoshi. If the player eats all of the fruits on this small platform, they get a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. There is also a room under the area with the pressure switch, which can be accessed only by [[jump]]ing into a large chimney that leads into the room or by going through a secret door in the bill of the ship's "cap." The room contains a large ball of light similar to the [[beacon]] in the Comet Observatory, a telescope, and some books. There are also several platforms near the edge of the room, which later become display cases. Various power-ups, such as the [[Fire Flower]] and [[Rock Mushroom]], begin to appear on the display after they are used to obtain certain Power Stars over the course of the game. However, the display cases cannot be penetrated, and thus the power-ups inside cannot be used. A usable [[Cloud Flower]] does appear in front of the ship's wheel after Mario has completed [[Climbing the Cloudy Tower]] in the [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]], however. This is the only power-up that can actually be used onboard Starship Mario. The [[Toad Brigade]]'s [[Starshroom]] also stays close to the ship. Transfer between the two ships is possible via a [[Warp Pad]] located in the ship's right ear.

The ship's engine room can be entered either by entering a small door in the middle of the ship's "cap" or by using the small chimney on the head of the starship as a [[Warp Pipe]] (standing on top of it). Inside is a single Luma, whose purpose is to convert the energy from each Power Star into fuel for the spaceship. A small ball resembling the beacon can also be found on the ceiling. In addition, as Mario completes certain missions with power-ups, they appear in the Engine Room under small glass domes (all except for the [[Rainbow Star]], which does not appear here for unknown reasons). However, they cannot be used by the player, so their purpose is thought to be more for viewing purposes as souvenirs. Below are listed the seven power-ups that appear here, as well as the conditions that must be met before they will appear here:

After certain missions have been completed, different species appear on the ship. All creatures stand on tree stumps on the surface of Starship Mario except for the Toad Brigade, who resides on the Starshroom (accessed via a Warp Pad in Starship Mario's right ear); two [[Lumalee]]s that sell [[Chance Cube]]s for [[coin]]s and [[Star Bit]]s (accessed via a Warp Pipe in Starship Mario's left ear); and [[Luigi]], who resides in a small door towards the top back of Starship Mario, and switches places with Mario at any point after he has defeated [[Bowser]] for the first time.  

Below is a full list of every character that makes an appearance on Starship Mario, as well as the conditions that must be met before the characters will appear. All non-playable characters make an appearance on Starship Mario, with the exception of [[Coach (Super Mario Galaxy)|Coach]], [[Penguru]], [[Pianta]]s, [[Princess Peach]], and [[The Chimp]].

[[File:Beta Starship Mario SMG2.png|thumb|An early screenshot of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', showing a different-looking Mario head planet]]

*Whenever the player selects a [[galaxy]] to fly to from the World Map, Starship Mario turns to look at Mario as he flies to the galaxy.  

*The teacups on the ship look empty, but upon the player zooming in, they are filled to the brim with water. They also have the same ripple as other bodies of water in the game.
