Talk:Baby Luma

How do we know the Luma from the storybook and Mario's Luma are the same white Luma? C Teng [talk] 09:37, 2 November 2008 (EST)
 * Wait, never mind, I read the paragraph wrong. 14:27, 2 November 2008 (EST)

In the Mario Galaxy trading cards, its says that Luma's name is 'Apricot Luma'? o.O And the game says it's just Luma. I think those trading cards don't want to confuse anyone with the Luma species.

Name
Is Luma ever actually called Luma with a capital L in the games? GreenDisaster (talk) 16:37, 8 February 2013 (EST)
 * Yes. Rosalina introduces him in SMG.
 * All right. I was just wondering since the trading cards call him "Apricot Luma", but I suppose the game takes precedent over the cards. GreenDisaster (talk) 23:28, 8 February 2013 (EST)

I thought that a Luma was with Rosalina in her kart. Should it be added? I am goombob :) (talk) 11:49, 15 May 2013 (EDT)Goombob
 * Luma and a Luma are two different things. One is a character and another is a species, much like Toad has a name and a species. Here, the one in Mario Kart Wii is a Luma, but not the character. 23:48, 15 May 2013 (EDT)

This is the first page of Rosalina's Storybook in the Japanese version of Super Mario Galaxy, where Luma's name is rendered as "星の子" but read as "チコ". The later few pages refer to him simply "チコ". 06:14, 7 May 2016 (EDT)


 * Hmm, intriguing. I can't find any sources that confirm "チ" as a typical pronunciation for "星", so could it be that "チコ" actually comes from a shortening of "hoshi no ko" to "chiko"? MarioComix (talk) 15:41, 7 May 2016 (EDT)
