'''Luma''' ({{ja|チコ|Chiko}}, ''Chiko'') is a member of 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 [[Ice Climbers|Popo]], while it utilizes [[hit points]] (HP) like [[Captain Olimar]]'s [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] do. Unlike Nana, Luma is never controlled by the AI, even when separated from Rosalina. 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 dark brown (who is actually {{s|mariowiki|Polari}})<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip confirms that Polari is indeed the dark brown Luma-->. | '''Luma''' ({{ja|チコ|Chiko}}, ''Chiko'') is a member of the star-shaped species of the same name that is under the care of Rosalina.

Rosalina & Luma are ranked | Rosalina & Luma are ranked 4th out of 56 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the S tier along with {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}, {{SSB4|Cloud}}, {{SSB4|Sheik}}, {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Sonic}}, and {{SSB4|Fox}} and thus makes them the second highest ranked [[newcomer]]s. They are known for their strongly defensive [[neutral game]], with the ability to invalidate projectiles using [[Gravitational Pull]], Luma tanking hits for Rosalina while also being immune to status effects, and simply being very difficult to [[approach]] when together, as either character can cover the other and [[punish]] opponents when in danger. The duo also have great KO potential thanks to Luma's power and many of Rosalina's moves having [[disjoint]]ed reaches, while their respective moves are both quick and useful, such as Rosalina's up aerial being a great juggling tool and Luma's up tilt being an outright finisher. Lastly, [[Launch Star]] is a useful [[recovery]] move, as it covers impressive distance and can be angled, thus making it capable of providing purely vertical, nearly horizontal or even diagonal recovery. | ||
However, Rosalina suffers from poor endurance due her tall frame and very light weight, while she has somewhat poor attack power and hitbox placements when Luma is KO'd. Despite its positives, Launch Star is linear and, due to lacking any hitboxes, unprotected. While Luma can be very difficult to KO, it can be very prone to being rendered inactive or KO'd outright due to it being unable to act out of a [[Tumbling|tumble]] until landing. Without Luma, Rosalina is far less capable of defeating incoming threats. On the other hand, as Luma remains KO'd for only 13 seconds, Rosalina is only briefly vulnerable until Luma respawns. | However, Rosalina suffers from poor endurance due her tall frame and very light weight, while she has somewhat poor attack power and hitbox placements when Luma is KO'd.
