'''Spinning''' (also called '''Star-Spin'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' trading card "Mario (Star-Spin)"</ref>) is a move that [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Co-Star Luma]], and [[Rosalina]] can perform in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', replacing Mario's [[punch]]ing  and [[kick]]ing moves from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is done when the player shakes the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] or [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]]. In ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'', it can also be performed by pressing {{button|ns|y}} or by shaking {{button|ns|joy-con-r}}. In addition to being a main method of attacking enemies, performing a spin is the only way to activate [[Launch Star]]s, which let Mario fly through the cosmos like a comet and reach new planets and galaxies, making it a vital move throughout the game. It can also add some height to his jumps, deflect certain projectiles, activate switches, break [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s, let him swim faster, and even pick up certain [[List of items|items]] that are nearby. However, once Mario performs a spin, he must wait a short period for [[Luma (character)|Luma]] to return to his hat before he is able to spin again, with Luigi's wait time being slightly longer. Also, he can only spin once in midair, as Luma returns to his hat after he lands on solid ground.
