'''Starship Mario''' is a [[Mario's face|Mario-head-shaped]] planet and spacecraft that is used to travel across the universe in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Although notably smaller than the previous games' hub areas, it serves as the hub of the game, replacing the [[Comet Observatory]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Other than its smaller size, another difference from the Comet Observatory is that it also has changing backgrounds, the appearance of which depends on the [[World#Super Mario Galaxy 2|world]] that it is currently in. A flock of gulls can be seen on and around Starship Mario in the first two worlds as well as the [[World S|final world]]. Starship Mario is able to access different worlds by traveling through [[portal]]s between them.

Although notably smaller than the previous games' hub areas, it serves as the hub of the game and has, more or less, replaced the [[Comet Observatory]] from the first game. Other than its smaller size, another difference from the Observatory is that it also has changing backgrounds, the appearance of which depends on the [[World#Super Mario Galaxy 2|World]] that it is currently in. A flock of seagulls can be seen on and around Starship Mario in the first two worlds, as well as the final world. Starship Mario is able to access different worlds by traveling through [[Portal]]s between them. In the World 2 background, planets that resemble Saturn can be seen.
==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
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).


While on the ship, [[Mario]] is able to explore and interact with various non-playable characters, including [[Lubba]] and the [[Co-Star Luma]]. Some other characters in the game appear after certain [[Power Star]]s are collected or a specific goal is met.
While on the ship, Mario is able to explore and interact with various non-playable characters, including Lubba and the [[Co-Star Luma]]. Some other characters in the game appear after certain Power Stars are collected or a specific goal is met.


Much like [[Delfino Plaza]] from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario can ride [[Yoshi]] here. The [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] which contains him is located on the "nose" of the ship, having been obtained after rescuing Yoshi in the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]]. A small circular platform floating just above Starship Mario has many [[Berry#Super Mario Galaxy 2|berries]], and three [[Boards (Super Mario Galaxy)|Boards]] that will advise the player on how to control Yoshi. If the player eats all of the berries on this small platform, they will get a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. There is also a room under the area with the pressure switch which can only be accessed by jumping into a large chimney which 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 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 "[[Starshine Beach Galaxy#Climbing the Cloudy Tower|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.  
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 [[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.


After [[Mario]] collects his first Power Star, 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 [[Luma (character)|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).
However, the ship's main feature is to allow Mario to travel between and select [[galaxy|galaxies]] to visit. To leave the ship and go to the World Map, one must step up to the ship's wheel near the top, in front of which is a small weight-activated button. When pressed, the button sends the player to the World Map, from which they can select galaxies to visit. If the game was turned off, the player instead goes to the [[Grand World Map]], from which the player can select worlds to visit. If the player wishes to return to Starship Mario without visiting a galaxy, they must position Starship Mario over an empty point on the World Map and then select it, which brings up the option to return. Mario also automatically returns to the ship if he receives a [[Game Over]] at any point during gameplay (unless [[Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum]] is not cleared, in which case the player returns to the introductory level, just before the [[Launch Star]]), as opposed to returning to the title screen as would happen in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.


The ship's main purpose, though, is to allow Mario to travel between and select galaxies to visit. To leave the ship and go to the world map, one must step up to a ship's wheel near the top, in front of which is a small weight-activated button. When pressed, the button sends the player to the World Map, from which they can select galaxies to visit. If the game was turned off, then the player instead will go to the [[Grand World Map]] from which the player can select [[World#Super Mario Galaxy 2|World]]s to visit. If the player wishes to return to Starship Mario without visiting a galaxy, they must position Starship Mario over an empty point on the World Map and then select it, which will bring up the option to return. Mario will also automatically return to the ship if he receives a [[Game Over]] at any point during gameplay. This is a significant difference from the first game, in which Mario would return to the title screen after a Game Over.  
====Engine Room====
[[File:SMG2 Starship Mario Engine Room.png|thumb|200px|[[Mario]] and the [[Co-Star Luma]] inside the Engine Room of Starship Mario]]
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:
*[[Cloud Flower]] &ndash; Complete [[Search for the Toad Brigade Captain]] in the [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]].
*[[Rock Mushroom]] &ndash; Complete [[Rock and Rollodillo]] in the [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]].  
*[[Spring Mushroom]] &ndash; Complete [[Spring into the Chompworks]] in the [[Chompworks Galaxy]].
*[[Spin Drill]] &ndash; Complete [[Silver Stars Down Deep]] in [[Spin-Dig Galaxy]].  
*[[Bee Mushroom]] &ndash; Complete [[The Sweetest Silver Stars]] in [[Honeyhop Galaxy]].

After Mario has collected sixteen Power Stars, a glowing light-blue signpost appears directly to the left of Starship Mario's wheel.

—Lubba, Super Mario Galaxy 2

Starship Mario is a Mario-head-shaped planet and spacecraft that is used to travel across the universe in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Although notably smaller than the previous games' hub areas, it serves as the hub of the game, replacing the Comet Observatory from Super Mario Galaxy. Other than its smaller size, another difference from the Comet Observatory is that it also has changing backgrounds, the appearance of which depends on the world that it is currently in. A flock of gulls can be seen on and around Starship Mario in the first two worlds as well as the final world. Starship Mario is able to access different worlds by traveling through portals between them.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

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 Lumas. 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).

While on the ship, Mario is able to explore and interact with various non-playable characters, including Lubba and the Co-Star Luma. Some other characters in the game appear after certain Power Stars are collected or a specific goal is met.

Much like in Delfino Plaza from Super Mario Sunshine, Mario can ride Yoshi on Starship Mario. The 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 fruits, as well as three 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 jumping 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 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.

However, the ship's main feature is to allow Mario to travel between and select galaxies to visit. To leave the ship and go to the World Map, one must step up to the ship's wheel near the top, in front of which is a small weight-activated button. When pressed, the button sends the player to the World Map, from which they can select galaxies to visit. If the game was turned off, the player instead goes to the Grand World Map, from which the player can select worlds to visit. If the player wishes to return to Starship Mario without visiting a galaxy, they must position Starship Mario over an empty point on the World Map and then select it, which brings up the option to return. Mario also automatically returns to the ship if he receives a Game Over at any point during gameplay (unless Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum is not cleared, in which case the player returns to the introductory level, just before the Launch Star), as opposed to returning to the title screen as would happen in Super Mario Galaxy.

Engine Room[edit]

Mario and the Co-Star Luma inside the Engine Room of Starship Mario

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:

Passengers[edit]

Many of the passengers that visit Starship Mario will appear on the back of the ship's head.

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 Lumalees that sell Chance Cubes for coins and Star Bits (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, Penguru, Piantas, Princess Peach, and The Chimp.

Totals Sign[edit]

The Totals Sign as it appears on Starship Mario
“Well now...you've found quite a few of those Power Star Power Stars, huh? We'll keep track of how many ya got. That's it, the sign next to the helm right there.”
—Lubba, Super Mario Galaxy 2

After Mario has collected sixteen Power Stars, a glowing light-blue signpost appears directly to the left of Starship Mario's wheel. This sign lists all of the Power Stars and Comet Medals that Mario has currently collected, as well as the galaxies that have been unlocked thus far (and whether the galaxies have been completed or not). This sign is used to help the player keep track of how many Stars they have at any various point in the game. The same information can also be accessed by clicking the "Star List" button on the pause menu at any time during gameplay.

Starship Mario as seen in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

On the stage Mario Galaxy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Starship Mario can be seen above the main stage in the background. Lubba can also be seen onboard, as well as several other Lumas. It also appears as a trophy. However, it is removed from the stage in 8-Player Smash, alongside Bowser's Airship and the Starshroom.

Starship Mario also appears as an Advanced-class support spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, using its artwork from Super Mario Galaxy 2. When equipped, it increases the fighter's jump height. In Adventure Mode: World of Light, the Starship Mario spirit is encountered in the outer space region, northeast on the Light Realm map, on the path leading to Falco's battle. To earn the spirit, the player has to beat a Giant Mario on the stage Mario Galaxy.
