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.
Although this move travels far and is quite fast, it has no hitbox and is susceptible to gimping if the opponent is quick. It is also difficult to sweetspot the ledge with.
Note that to aim this move straight upwards, the control stick must be held backwards. The player should be careful when doing this, lest they accidentally launch themselves the wrong way and self-destruct.
Customization

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- Launch Star Plus: Increases vertical recovery, and quickens ascent, but the angle can't be changed.
- 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).
