To the uninitiated, it’s a highly idiosyncratic joke. Lumalee is just there, in Bowser’s dungeon, with a cadre of other prisoners, spouting nihilistic bon mots. Knowing that makes the gag even funnier, just like the fact that none of this backstory is referenced in the film. The Luma is never named in the movie, but credited as “Lumalee,” and voiced by Juliet Jelenic, the daughter of co-director Michael Jelenic. At the end of Super Mario Galaxy, a cluster of Luma enthusiastically sacrifice themselves to save the galaxy by getting sucked into a black hole created by Bowser. Luma’s references to “the sweet relief” of death are more than just comic relief, they’re accurate to the Luma species. So, as Polygon’s own Michael McWhertor noted when the Luma first appeared in a trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Lumas are star-shaped creatures with the potential to be reborn as planets and other heavenly bodies.
This little critter is a Luma, introduced in the Nintendo Wii game Super Mario Galaxy.
Movie is also an extremely disconcerting one - and a pointed reference to a specific Mario game, like so much in the movie.ĭeep in Bowser’s dungeon, there’s a little blue glowing star-shaped creature who cheerfully, vocally yearns for death, nothingness, and the void. One of the best running gags in The Super Mario Bros.
