"Super Mario Galaxy" - Lumas and Comets Quiz

Answer: Black

The black Luma is also found when you go inside each of the observatories. In the Terrace, the first observatory you enter, it explains to you how to use pull stars to view all of the galaxies that you can see within that particular observatory.

Answer: Turn into pull stars

If you come across a hungry Luma that turns into a galaxy or a planet, after you feed it, there will be a launch star left behind for you to launch to that galaxy or planet, but the Luma only turned into the galaxy or planet, not the launch star.

There is only one Luma that can move comets and it can be found in the main area of the Comet Observatory, between Rosalina and the Terrace. This Luma can also give you information about the comets, such as how each one will affect the galaxies.

Occasionally, usually before a boss battle, you will come across a Luma that will sell you your choice of either a 1-Up mushroom or a mushroom to give you double HP if you give it "exact change". The cost of these mushrooms is low and well worth the price.

Answer: Green

Once you have found all three green power stars, the three Lumas open up a previously transparent green launch star in the main area of the Comet Observatory that will take you to what are known as the "Trial Galaxies". These three galaxies are some of the toughest in the game, as they test your skills on three of the most difficult features of the game; namely, ray surfing, controlling a "golf ball", and moving around in a bubble.

Answer: Star Bits

Star Bits basically replace coins as the currency of "Super Mario Galaxy". While coins are still available, Star Bits are much more abundant and can actually be "spent", unlike the coins. The two main uses are to "pay" hungry Lumas by feeding them (the cost can range from 20 Star Bits to move a comet to 1,800 star bits to transform into the last galaxy that a hungry Luma can transform into) and to stun small enemies by shooting star bits at them (this can be done by aiming the Wii Remote at an enemy and pressing the B button).

Answer: Five

For those of you who said four, you may not have beaten the game yet. The fifth comet, the Purple Comet, appears only after you have beaten the game. The comets turn levels that may at first have seemed easy into something challenging.

Answer: Cosmic Comet

The Cosmic Comet is one of the more exciting comets on the game. Shadow Mario is fast and smart, so it is quite a challenge to beat him. However, it is extremely satisfying once you have done so.

By the way, there is a button combination that you can push that allows Mario to get out to a head start in this situation. Play around and discover what it is for yourself!

Answer: Yellow

The Fast Foe Comet is the least occurring comet on the game. Unfortunately, it occurs on levels that contain enemies such as Thwomps which can crush you and cause you to lose a life instantly. When encountering a Fast Foe Comet, you have to be very quick with your reflexes.

The blue comet is the Cosmic Comet, red is the Speedy Comet, and grey is the Daredevil Comet. The Purple Comet is, of course, purple.

Answer: Melty Molten Galaxy

Under normal circumstances, when a Daredevil Comet is in orbit, you will start the level right in front of a boss area with only one hit point on your life meter and no coins anywhere to refill it. In the Melty Molten Galaxy (the galaxy that you need the most power stars to open, next to the final Bowser galaxy), however, you have to go through the entire level with only one hit point and no way to refill it. Thankfully, at the end of this level, there is no boss.

Answer: Dreadnaught Galaxy

When you get to the Dreadnaught Galaxy and see that you are given a whopping six minutes to complete the level, you know that it's going to be difficult. The other levels are fairly long, but less challenging, so you should be able to make your way through them quickly. The least amount of time you have for any Speedy Comet level is four minutes.

Answer: 100

If you follow the storyline and visit levels in order, you should first come across the 100 purple coins when you are trying to unlock the flying power-up. Once you get all 100 there, you can access the red star that allows you to fly in various areas of the Comet Observatory.

In the other galaxies, the coins are either spread out and hidden throughout the galaxy or they are in a line but surrounded by obstacles. If you really want a challenge, try the Toy Time Galaxy when a Purple Comet is in orbit, but make sure you have 99 lives because more than likely, you will need them!
