'''Luma''' ({{ja|チコ|Chiko}}, ''Chiko'') is a member of [[mariowiki:Luma (species)|the star-shaped species of the same name]] that is under the care of Rosalina. It<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Rebound and Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Reactions tips refer to Luma as "it"--> fights in tandem with Rosalina, similarly to how [[Ice Climbers|Nana fights in tandem with Popo]], and utilizes [[hit points]] (HP) like [[Captain Olimar]]'s {{b|Pikmin|species}} do.

Rosalina & Luma are ranked 8th out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the A tier and making them the third highest ranking [[newcomer]]s. The pair are known for their powerful defensive [[neutral game]], as Rosalina can invalidate projectiles using [[Gravitational Pull]], Luma can tank hits on behalf of Rosalina and is immune to status effects, and either character can help the other ward off [[pressure]] by individually [[punish]]ing opponents. The duo also have impressive KO potential, thanks to Luma's power and many of Rosalina's moves having [[disjoint]]ed ranges. By extension, their respective movesets are both quick and useful, such as Rosalina's up aerial having impressive juggling potential, and Luma's aerials boasting approach and combo potentials thanks to their [[Lunar Landing]] technique.

However, Rosalina's endurance is among the worst in the game owing to her tall frame, very light [[weight]], and slow [[falling speed]]. Furthermore, many of Rosalina's benefits, including her powerful neutral game, are heavily nerfed if Luma is KOed, owing to her low attack power and short-ranged hitboxes; adding to this, while Luma can be difficult to KO, it can be easily rendered inactive due to it being unable to act out of [[tumbling]]. Rosalina's recovery, while granting long distance from [[Launch Star]], is also very linear, and its lack of offensive hitboxes cannot deter edgeguarders.
