Polari is a Luma who appeared in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 as the assistant of Rosalina; he is to Rosalina what Toadsworth is to Princess Peach.
Polari is an elderly black Luma, who is said to be one of the oldest Lumas in existence. Having extensive knowledge of the Comet Observatory, Polari serves a guide to Mario.
His name is derived from the star Polaris, also known as the North Star. His name may also be a pun on polarity, meaning the brightness of a star. He may also be a reference to black dwarfs, or dead stars. Oddly, his name never appeared in-game, only in the instruction manual.
Physical Description[]
Polari, unlike all other Lumas, is a very dark brown color and has light blue eyes. He is relatively the same size as all other Lumas, excluding the larger Lumas like Hungry Lumas, Lumalee and Lumacomete.
Personality[]
Polari shows certain similarities to Toadsworth. Both are amongst the oldest of their respective species and protective of their advisor. They also each share a darkish color, which is unusual if comared to others of their species. He also is shown to have wisdom in which he tells Mario about the Trial Galaxies.
As all Lumas, Polari loves Star Bits and may thank the player if they shoot a Star Bit at him. Polari makes a distinctly different noise when compared to other Lumas. His voice is more deep sounding and doesn't make the typical Luma joy sound.
Appearances[]
Super Mario Radiance[]
In Super Mario Radiance, Polari has a similar role to the first Super Mario Galaxy; he will show Mario or Luigi a map of the HUB world (Princess Peach's Castle in Super Mario Radiance), and also show them which Power Stars they have collected.

Rosalina and the Cosmic Spirit[]
The events of this game explain Polari's backstory and how he came to befriend Rosalina. He assists her in bringing down the ultimate evil known as the Cosmic Spirit.
