'''Polari''' is an elderly blackish | '''Polari''' is an elderly, blackish brown [[Luma (species)|Luma]] who appears during the events of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Said to be one of the oldest Lumas in existence, Polari serves as [[Rosalina]]'s most trusted advisor. Having extensive knowledge of the [[Comet Observatory]], Polari serves as a guide of sorts to [[Mario]], showing him a map of all of the galaxies visible from that location. | ||

Polaris was often used by sailors as a guide in navigation, not unlike how Polari advises Rosalina and guides Mario. Conversely, his appearance may be a reference to [[wikipedia:Black dwarf|black dwarfs]], which are dead stars. | ||

Polari's first appearance is in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' when Mario retrieves the first [[Grand Star]] and lands on the Comet Observatory. Polari looks at the beacon with Rosalina and exclaims that "now the poor Lumas may survive". When the player first enters the [[Terrace (Super Mario Galaxy)|Terrace]] they will meet Polari and a [[Luma|Blue Luma]] that soon transforms into a [[Pull Star]] to allow Mario to travel to galaxies. When Mario returns with one [[Power Star]] on his belt, Polari will teach him about Star Bits and how Lumas love eating them. Other than that, Polari's main importance within the game is to provide a map of all the galaxies that Mario can visit and their Power Stars and to inform Mario about when the enemy base has been located. | Polari's first appearance is in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' when Mario retrieves the first [[Grand Star]] and lands on the Comet Observatory.

It is unknown what happens to Polari at the end of the game; he is not seen flying into the giant [[black hole]], and in the secret ending, he does not appear alongside Rosalina or in the Comet Observatory at all. | It is unknown what happens to Polari at the end of the game; he is not seen flying into the giant [[black hole]], and in the secret ending, he does not appear alongside Rosalina or in the Comet Observatory at all. | ||

Compared to his appearance in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', his age is much more apparent because of his wrinkles. In volume 40, he grows into the final Grand Star, in contrast to his navigator role in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. | ||
