The Launch Star That Grants a Fate Worse Than Death in Super Mario Galaxy

[@ConnorTheUndying]

A Luma gone bad, transformed into a Launch Star and thrown into the Deepest, Darkest recesses of the universe. He awaits someone foolish enough to activate him, another victim.

Mario never returned to the earth. He became half-mineral, half-animal and spinned forever in space. And though he wished for death, he was unable to die. So eventually, he stopped thinking.

I think the area Mario ends up spinning around in, there’s a planet that’s there that you end up on at the end of the second mission. However it’s not present on any other mission so your stuck.

Same, I was thinking maybe the launch star could be relates in some way to the planets from the 2nd mission.

[@gamersinacontainer]

Antonio Aguirre The behaviour is way too odd. It’s probably a leftover from a deleted planet. The checkpoint might have been where you landed on the planet, but now it’s a mess.

This is an actual phenomenon with gravity in real life, too. Every two-body orbit has five spots where there's basically gravitational sink holes where things get sort of stuck; even if you were stationary you'd end up being pulled along the orbit of the two main bodies. They're called "Lagrange Points."

I think the reason the moon is absent during the other stars is because when the battle with Kamella starts, she appears right in front of the bright moon and flies down to the ship.

But even more interesting is that launch star!! Just as I thought Deep Dark had nothing else sinister about it to discover....there it is, a evil launch star lurking just above the planet's atmosphere, plotting and waiting (or hoping) for Mario to somehow fall into its grasp....despite being stuck way out in space. I get the impression it was some evil luma that was thrown out or something.

[@Alex-95-Gaming]

I think the Launch Star is actually a leftover. That's probably obvious, but considering what the Toads are doing in the inaccessible part of the level during the Purple Coin star, it's possible the player was originally meant to start there like normal. The path of the Launch Star shows a high launch with a sharp curve before dropping, meaning it was likely a way to get from the start of the level directly to the ship area. The checkpoint associated with the Launch Star also makes sense, as the ship area would become the new starting location should Mario lose a life. This is why there's no invisible ceiling in the area, as the player was initially meant to fly in through that open hole. They likely just moved the Launch Star way out of the way and made the player just start at the ship area.

[@_SP64_]

I think it was meant for the 2nd mission of the galaxy since you can actually see the launch star when you're on that glass planet. I think before they added the Fludd guns as a way to traverse through the level Mario was supposed to use launch starts to get from planet to planet. Especially with the angle of the isolated launch star maybe that's how Mario was supposed to get to the final glass planet

They might have intended for these "secret stars" to be a kind of warp cannon or warp room that took you to a different level entirely, maybe you didn't have enough star bits to unlock a level ahead so you went back to farm, found a weird area you missed before, find a launch star, and next thing you know, "hey! I'm in that level I couldn't get to!" or maybe something along those lines.

[@_SP64_]

For me it might have been used for the 2nd star where you have to go to that glass planet. You can see the launch star on the final glass planet too. But then, Nintendo changed their minds and decided to use the FLUDD guns instead and forgot to remove the final launch star.
