'''Luma''' ({{ja|チコ|Chiko}}, ''Chiko'') is a member of [[mariowiki:Luma (species)|the star-shaped species of the same name]] that is under the care of Rosalina. It<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Rebound and Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Reactions tips refer to Luma as "it"--> fights in tandem with Rosalina, similarly to how [[Ice Climbers|Nana fights in tandem with Popo]], and utilizes [[hit points]] (HP) like [[Captain Olimar]]'s {{b|Pikmin|species}} do. Unlike Nana and the Pikmin, Luma is controlled by the player, even when separated from Rosalina,and has a set respawn time upon being KO'd. Rosalina is always accompanied by a yellow Luma at the beginning of each battle, and while the yellow Luma can respawn upon being KO'd, it is possible for a differently colored Luma to take its place. The other Lumas are colored blue, green, red, cream<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip refers to the apricot Luma's color as cream--> (who appears almost identical to [[mariowiki:Luma (character)|Baby Luma]]), and blackish brown (who is actually {{s|mariowiki|Polari}})<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip confirms that Polari is indeed the dark brown Luma-->.

{{s|mariowiki|Yuya Takezawa}} reprises her role as the voice of Luma, albeit through recycled voice clips from ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Super Mario Galaxy}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Tennis Open}}''.


Rosalina & Luma are ranked 5th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the A tier and making them the third highest ranking [[newcomer]]s. The pair are known for their powerful defensive [[neutral game]], as Rosalina can invalidate projectiles using [[Gravitational Pull]], Luma can tank hits on behalf of Rosalina and is immune to status effects, and either character can help the other ward off [[pressure]] by individually [[punish]]ing opponents. The duo also have impressive KO potential, thanks to Luma's power and many of Rosalina's moves having [[disjoint]]ed ranges. By extension, their respective movesets are both quick and useful, such as Rosalina's up aerial having impressive juggling potential, and Luma's aerials boasting approach and combo potentials thanks to their [[Lunar Landing]] technique.
