**Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a retelling of Super Mario Galaxy after the galaxy/universe was reborn. It's still the same Star Festival, just in the new world where the Lumas are in the Mushroom Kingdom already.

* How do giant Lumas work? They seem to appear only in the Supermassive Galaxy...How would Rosalina ever be able to take care of them? When they transform, do other giant galaxies form as a result? How many Star Bits would it take to sustain one of them?

* How do giant Lumas work? They seem to appear only ** The deal in the Supermassive Galaxy...How would first game was that Rosalina ever be able would take Mario to the center of the universe to rescue Peach, but only ''after'' Mario helped her by collecting the missing Power Stars. Borrowing Lubba's Power Stars and using them to reach Bowser requires Rosalina to take care of them? When they transform, do other giant galaxies form as a result? How many Star Bits Mario at his word that he won't abandon her and/or Lubba once his stakes are resolved, and with her hardly knowing him, she hasn't enough assurance to convince herself he wouldn't. She also might have been worried that calling on Lubba for aid would it take to sustain one pull his Power Stars into Bowser's sights, putting the universe in more danger if he finds out there are more of them?them.



** Nowhere is it stated that Rosalina is in danger, Bowser or otherwise. Besides, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu how likely]] would that even ''be?'' It seems that Rosalina is staying out of it because she knows you're in good hands (Lubba) and Bowser's threat isn't as destructive as last time. She probably has faith in Mario and Luigi to save the galaxies without needing much cosmic interference.
** What are you talking about? Have you seen the game's ending? Bowser's galaxy generator was trying to eat up Rosalina's observatory, and she was stuck inside it the whole time, and when she shows up during the ending, she says that she's been searching for Luma after she lost him...She would've shown up on Starship Mario, if only for that, if she could have. In addition, I don't think the protector of the cosmos would've let a threat as big as Bowser's be handled without her help, just because "it wasn't big ''enough''."



** It's also even easier to shoot yourself off of the level in the ''Galaxy'' games, as while in ''64'' they shot you in an arc, in the ''Galaxy'' games you get fired off in a straight line and can only shed your momentum by hitting something or grabbing a Pull Star.

* Megaleg was never built, Bowser Jr's idea for it recycled into Megahammer and Diggaleg; Polari is almost certainly [[spoiler:on board the Comet Observatory]]; Tarantox and Kingfin were feral creatures that were killed off by Mario [[spoiler:or Luigi]] long before the first game's ending; Topmaniac was also killed off in a similar manner. The only characters unaccounted for are Kamella (would definitely be dead if not for her JokerImmunity throughout the original), Spooky Speedster (likely [[StealthPun floating around]] Haunty Halls or Boo Moon), and Guppy (who is neither accounted for or accountable). So my question is, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What Happened To Guppy?]]

** He's probably somewhere else in the universe that Mario never visits. Not every character from the first game needed to appear or be mentioned in the sequel, so it's not that strange that he isn't brought up.

** To avoid cheese most likely, same reason as why dropping him into a pit is much harder now and much less useful.

** How else would they reproduce?



** Presumably because in the original it was far too easy for fire one's self into space by accident. Though I for one would prefer a cannon to blast away the walls in Throwback...

** Alternatively, Rosalina visits the Mushroom Kingdom more frequently than between the 100-year excursions she took before, because she has friends she can visit there now. Before the business in the first game, all she had to reflect on about the Mushroom World were the sad circumstances of the life she lived there as a child, but now that she has friends to interact and form new memories with, she feels more compelled to visit with greater frequency. Explains how she’s made appearances in so many spin-off games.

** Them helping Mario advance on his journey doesn't necessarily mean that's what they were there for all along. As I recall, the Lumas in Spin-Dig Galaxy are said to be members of Lubba's crew who were separated at the beginning of the game, and they were the ones who helped the Toads build a Starshroom to get into space. It could be that they were in Spin-Dig Galaxy looking for Power Stars themselves when they met up with Mario, who explained that he was there on Lubba's orders; hence why they help him advance to the end of the level where the Toads are.

* In the Throwback Galaxy, there's a Sling Star in place of the cannon that was there in ''Super Mario 64'', even though there are fully functional cannons elsewhere in ''Galaxy 2''. Why not use one of those instead?

* In the Spin Dig Galaxy, you get the spin drill power for the first time, allowing you to tunnel through dirt and reach places you couldn't normally. At the start of this galaxy, you use this power to get to Lumas that have put themselves in ridiculously high up places. They all express amazement that you were able to reach them at all... then proceed to help you on your journey, as they were waiting there ''specifically to meet up with you''. So you are trying to help Mario by hiding where you think he won't be able to find you...?

* The Hungry Luma in Cosmic Cove Galaxy transforms into a planet that already has a Star Bunny on it once you land there...Does that mean that the Hungry Luma created another Luma?
