- Launch Star is Rosalina & Luma's Up Special Move. Rosalina conjures up a Launch Star from the Super Mario Galaxy series to launch her upward to safety.
- In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Rosalina's Up Special utilizes these. One also appeared in her trailer before she made her appearance.
- Launch Stars appear to function based on a magnet-like force holding the inner star (which one's feet are placed on) roughly inside the outer star, albeit weakly enough that it can wobble about when its Launch Star is not in use. The force of Mario's Star Spin is enough to push the inner star out of alignment, which then tries to snap back, providing a catapult-like effect in the process.

| - Launch stars are used by Mario or Luigi to get to another part of the level. They send the player flying into the air towards the next part of the level. To activate launch stars, shake the Wii-mote.
- Launch Stars appear to function based on a magnet-like force holding the inner star (which one's feet are placed on) roughly inside the outer star, albeit weakly enough that it can wobble about when its Launch Star is not in use. The force of Mario's Star Spin is enough to push the inner star out of alignment, which then tries to snap back, providing a catapult-like effect in the process. Launch Stars are also known to have their own gravity. This would make them very dense, so perhaps Mario having enough force to shoot out of one at all means that he is pushed at escape velocity for most planetoids. These details, which are rooted in the Launch Stars' games of origin, would explain how Launch Stars work while still falling under some physical laws of the Mario franchise. For instance, despite exerting gravity, Launch Stars are not affected by other gravity sources, in the same vein as coins and Question Blocks.
