These need to be split. One is an object, while the other is a move that, while based on the object, is a completely different thing otherwise. They also don't share the same Japanese name - the object is named "Star Ring" (スターリング, Sutā Ringu), while the move is named "Galaxy Jump" (ギャラクシージャンプ, Gyarakushī Janpu) - all the more reason they should be separate pages. With the proposal to merge the relevant Smash articles and keeping Mario-related special moves separate (while merging the non-Mario ones) being part of it, this split can be done.

Support

1. Mario jc (talk) Per my proposal and TheFlameChomp.
2. TheFlameChomp (talk) I agree, as several other moves are similarly split from the subject, such as Mechakoopa (move) and Peach Parasol (move). I also feel it makes sense since the object itself will appear as an item in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
3. YoshiEgg1990 (talk) Per all.
4. BBQ Turtle (talk) This should just be for the item, per all. Also Toad (move) is separate, so it seems like it's only this one that's remained together.
5. Toadette the Achiever (talk) Couldn't be more clear-cut.
6. Alex95 (talk) - I thought this was a separate thing already. Per all.

Comments

I'm assuming Launch Star (item) would also be created at some point, due to the new item in Ultimate? I see it's already on the main Launch Star page, but would that split make sense? Unlike the Launch Stars of Galaxy, this one is deployable. 10:51, 14 June 2018 (EDT)

It'd probably use the game identifier instead, though, since it acts as an object once placed. ^(T|C) 12:36, 14 June 2018 (EDT)

Game identifier would be confusing, since Launch Star (move) and Launch Star (item) are both in Ultimate. 12:38, 14 June 2018 (EDT)
