Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

In Super Mario Galaxy, an arrangement of "Luma," titled "A Wish" in the game's official soundtrack and the Nintendo Music app, plays in the game's ending cutscene as the Lumas throw themselves into a supermassive black hole. This arrangement is largely similar to "Luma" but features additional instrumentation.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, an arrangement of "Luma," titled "The Luma and the Hat" in the Nintendo Music app, plays in the after-credits scene that unlocks after getting 120 Stars.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, an medley arrangement of "Rosalina in the Observatory" and "Luma," titled "Rosalina in the Observatory / Luma's Theme" and composed by Manami Kiyota, can play in the Mario Galaxy stage. This arrangement returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where it can play in any Super Smash Bros.-series and Super Mario-series stage.

Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge[edit]

In Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, an medley arrangement of "Rosalina in the Observatory" and "Luma" plays in the Gravity Galaxy world. This arrangement is directly based on the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U arrangement.

Other arrangements[edit]
