Lumalee, Super Mario Galaxy

Lumalee (also referred to as Salesman Lumas[1]) is a turquoise Luma who appears in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Lumalee's appearance is very similar to that of Hungry Luma and Lumacomète. Lumalee serves as a 'shop', where Mario can purchase either a Life Mushroom or a 1-Up Mushroom for 30 Star Bits. Lumalee can be found in several galaxies and tends to appear before boss battles. Once Mario has made his choice of purchase, Lumalee is fed the right amount of Star Bits automatically and proceeds to transform into the mushroom of his choosing for him to collect. Because of this transformation, Mario can only buy one item from Lumalee for every time they appear each time the player enters that stage.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Lumalee serves a different purpose than in the first game. Instead of giving the player a Life Mushroom or a 1-Up Mushroom, Lumalee will become a Chance Cube. By doing a certain mission, Lumalee will appear in a pipe that is on one of the ears on Starship Mario. The first Lumalee will turn into a Chance Cube for 30 Star Bits. The second Lumalee will turn into 5 Chance Cubes for 100 Coins. The possible outcomes from both Luma Shops' Chance Cubes are a single Star Bit, a 1-Up Mushroom, three 1-Up Mushrooms, and five 1-Up Mushrooms.
