Topic: Luma Discussion & Theories

Lumas - The cute lovable little star like characters from Mario Galaxy. They are hard not to love but little is really known about them. This topic is to discuss the shroud of mystery surrounding these little multicolored creatures.

What do Lumas taste like?
Is there a preferred method for cooking them?
If you punch one hard enough would it squish or shatter like glass?
Did they build Rainbow Road?
Does Rosalina give birth to them?
Are there violent and mean Lumas that rove outer space in a terrible like a pack of wild ravenous wolves?
Are starbits really Luma droppings?

these are just a few topic points I would like to discuss. Feel free to bring up your own ideas or even just post about your undying love for these cute little guys. :3

Rosalina is mine!!!! Back off you fiends!!!
Also lumas are actually giant star dropping and starbits are luma droppings :3 Lumas in this respect are almost like Tings (that's a whole nother story)
I Have my BS and PHD in Astronomical Luma and Fairy/Tingle/Catmaids/Mythical stuff Studies so come to me if any questions arise

Lumas tastes like chicken.
You fry and season them.
Only falcon punches can kill Lumas, and they splatter when you kill them.
Many Lumas were sacrificed for the creation of Rainbow Road.
The Lumas' parents are Rosalina and Waluigi.
Yes, but Kirby ate them all.
Oh, yes they are.

What's disturbing is that if they are droppings then they ask Mario to round them up so they can eat their own droppings again. O_O

I think eating starbits must sweeten them so I imagine they taste like candy, if you roasted them over a fire I think the charred luma would taste of marshmallow, boiled I think they'd taste like gum candy I guess boiling alive would be best for flavour just like with lobster, might make you feel a tad guilty but I'm sure it'd be worth it

I've seen terrible things man O__O

If you eat them, what if they transform in your stomach? /me imagines exploding and turning into Its-a Galaxy

I wanna give Lubba a hug.

It's pretty obvious that the Lumas were trying to kill Mario. But I guess he has a weirder appetite than even Wario.

This also makes me wonder... do different emotions from a luma affect the flavor? For instance if you cooked up a luma while it was sad, would its tears add to the flavor? Would its anger add another distinct flavor to the recipe? Someone needs to hunt some of these lumas mercilessly to test this theory out.

1. I expect Lumas have a metallic taste. Almost like mercury, right down to the fact that you go mad if you eat them.
2. Probably not, vicious space creatures will just eat them raw at a guess.
3. Well, if they are indeed like mercury then they'll just squish. If they shattered like glass they'd have to have a more rigid body structure.
4. Highly unlikely, they don't have hands. In fact, the specimen photo shows that they don't even have a mouth or nose. Any activity requiring anything sensory would be out of the question for these creatures.
5. Interesting, but I'm not sure, didn't the Lumas come to here when she was still a young child?
6. I expect so. If you look into those eyes, you can see the rabid beast within. Perhaps their cute exterior is just a guise, in order to lure in their prey, only for them to devour them whole (through absorption).
7. Don't see why not. Crystalline excrement seems possible, Lumas are strange beings after all.

As for my own theorems, perhaps Lumas are all just a figment of Rosalina's imaginations. It's possible, after having such an appalling childhood, she's created them in her mind as her very own flock of imaginary friends.

Ask Starboy for some Lumas,but dont tell him what you are going to do with them

Demon spawn.

Boiled alive. They're done when they stop screaming.

Squishes. Hit it hard enough and it'll stretch and pop like a balloon. A balloon full of luma guts.

Rainbow road is made of lumas. If you boil them fast enough, they turn into a hard, formable substance.

Pops 'em out at a notable rate. Her nickname is Luzi.

All of them are like that, particularly when trying to capture them. That's why Bowser discovered he needed to lock them in high-tech impenetrable energy cells locked by key protected by a minion, rather than just, say, a bug-catching net.

Nope. Dead lumas crystallize into star bits, and then the other lumas eat them. In fairness, there's not exactly much else to eat in space, but it's still cannibalism. Luma poops are Sling Pods, for the record.

I know why no monster hunter has been talked of for 3DS yet. cuz it's gonna be Luma hunter 3D feat. Big Poppa Tingle as the hunter. You can choose to be Tingle, David Jr.,Ankle or Knuckle and use a variety of weapons to capture or kill the lumas then open up a resturant selling them.

smacks raylax Sushi for talking shiz about his girl Rosalina

You guys do realize that Rosalina belongs only to me, right? With that said, it is time to grab my shotgun and start hunting Lumas.

You wanna wreck son because she is MINES (as is Zelda and Samus)

Does Rosalina secretly use Lumas as her own personal slaves? She does produce an awful lot of them. Maybe when Mario isn't looking there is a whole different side to her. I mean how did that whole contraption get built?

If Rosalina was the mother I'm guessing Kirby is the father, but since kirby wasn't in SMG I guess they aren't together.

Lumas are actually quite the tasty treat! Here's my faaaaaaaaaaaavorite recipe for Three-Luma Pie:

Ingredients:

1 cup pink luma, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup white sugar (if they're crying, you may omit the extra sugar — their tears are rather sweet)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups yellow luma, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups blue luma, coarsely chopped
1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Directions:

• In a large mixing bowl, stir together sugar and cornstarch. Add all of your chopped luma; gently toss until coated. If using Bowser-frozen lumas, allow the mixture to stand for 15 to 30 minutes, or until the luma mix has partially thawed.
• Line a 9 inch pie plate with half of the pastry. Stir luma mixture and transfer to the crust-lined pie plate. Top with second crust, and seal and crimp the edge. To prevent overbrowning, cover the edge of the pie with foil.
• Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes when using fresh luma, 50 minutes for frozen. Remove foil. Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden. Cool on a wire rack.

soooooooooooo tasty...
_{gawd i'm starving now D:}

She never told you about her Luzi nickname for the Friday nights?
