Launch Stars are integral parts of both ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games. When [[Mario]] jumps inside one, he launches along a set path, usually to another planet in the galaxy he's currently in.
Launch Star made their debut in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and has become a recurring item in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' series. It allows the player to jump inside one and launch them, either to a new galaxy, or along a set path to another galaxy. Launch Stars may be found broken up into five Star Chips, after defeating a set number of enemies, or after a Luma transforms into one. A smaller variant known as a {{s|mariowiki|Sling Star}} exists.

The Super Launch Star spawns on the stage like most items. When picked up and thrown, however, it will become larger and float in the air. The Super Launch Star will aim in the opposite direction of which it was thrown.

It will appear small when appearing on a stage, but when picked up and thrown, they will become larger, float in the air, and aim in the direction it was thrown. It will stay in place for around 10 seconds after being thrown before disappearing.


Whenever a character touches a Super Launch Star hovering in the air, it will launch them, doing no damage but dealing heavy knockback. The knockback is usually well enough to rocket characters over blast lines, especially if the Super Launch Star was pointing upwards. This makes the Super Launch Star one of the most dangerous items in the series.
When a fighter touches the Super Launch Star hovering in the air, it will launch them, doing no damage but dealing heavy knockback. The knockback will scale up with damage (with a limit of 50%) and is usually well enough to rocket characters over blast lines, especially if it was pointing upwards, making it a significant hazard on all but the largest stages.
