Launch Star (ギャラクシージャンプ, Galaxy Jump) is Rosalina's up special in Super Smash Bros. 4. Rosalina uses a Launch Star to propel herself through the air. The move can be angled upwards or to the side, and can send her a great distance in any of these directions.

Customization

An icon for denoting incomplete things.

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:

  1. Launch Star Plus: Increases vertical recovery, and quickens ascent, but the angle can't be changed.
  2. Launch Star Attack: Doesn't travel as far, but can damage and launch enemies.

Origin

Launch Stars are a major means of traversing through each planet in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. They usually form after clearing an objective needed for each planet, which include but are not limited to freeing a yellow Luma or the Launch Star itself, collecting five pieces called Star Chips, or defeating all the enemies in an area. They usually come in orange, but they can be pink (leading to a galaxy or planet formed from feeding a Hungry Luma) or green (leading to or found in the Planet of Trials in Galaxy).
