Either way, it doesn't change the fact that she outright calls the place her home.

It can just be deduced that the trees are gone after the ravages of time. In Galaxy, the Gateway Planet is in a sorry state. In Smash, it seems to based off of how the planet would have been before she left it as a child (even the flower beds have extra decoration around them, and the planet looks bigger, like it seemed to be in the storybook).
Well, the Starship Mario is flying in the background, and Galaxy 2 does take place after Galaxy 1, so my guess is that the trees were planted for Smash (maybe to create an atmosphere?).

So in response to the title question.

Sonic, Shulk, Or Rosalina.

We've kinda stagnated on where the three stand among eachother. Should we call this a wash and move onto other topics, or should we proceed to rank the entire cast?

Maybe, this thread is kinda boring with it just being :4shulk:,:4sonic:, and :rosalina:.

Villains? Reality benders are jokes, lets look at out of the ordinary baddies. Better than godly abilities? Like farts, going to be real guns but fire fruit, yourself, tongues. Anything weird really.

Luigi is the host best suited for the Dark Prognosticus. We've also established he can destroy gods just as well as Mario can.

I would like to point out that after defeating Galacta Knight in his version of Milky Way Wishes in KSSU, :4metaknight: is the "strongest warrior in the galaxy", better than Kirby.

Then Kirby took that title right back.

The point is, Meta Knight was able to fend off and defeat the strongest warrior in what galaxy? The Milky Way.

Granted, this must be after the events of games that take place on Earth, so:4metaknight: isn't necessarily stronger than:4megaman:. Dang you Shiver Star!

Yeah, the thread stagnating due to deity powers and such is why I created this topic, if you haven't seen it already: http://smashboards.com/threads/canonized-smash-movesets.381451/
It's basically a topic where, rather than taking all abilities from a character's canon, we take each character's Smash moveset and treat those moves as we would in canon. For instance, :4jigglypuff:still has Rest, but it doesn't have the KO potential it does in Smash, since that's not how it works in Pokemon. This also removes deity powers from the situation, since characters don't really use them in Smash.

The thread is not stagnating due to deity powers, it's stagnating because newcomers to the thread do not read previous pages and thus bring up already dealt with points, generally because they have a bone to pick with a certain powerful character. Also, some people are just shallowly barging in and screaming about how their character is the strongest without actually providing anything constructive.

It also doesn't help that the thread title asks a long answered question (answer being Shulk and Rosalina). If the thread title were changed to "How Powerful is Each Smash Character in Canon?", it would be a much more productive thread and we could dump the points provided into the OP, and we wouldn't have to keep dealing with people trying to argue against the strongest characters with tired points.

It'd also be nice to bring in things like willpower for those mortal/weaker characters. It's an interesting point to bring up for someone like Olimar.

Let it be known that I do not enjoy having to counter the same points about Rosalina over and over again, I just don't like misinformation being spread. I'd love to actually discuss new characters for once if people would just stop trying to bring up the same tired, misinformed points on the stronger characters.

My point exactly. The topic at hand is answered. That's why I've created a new thread with something pretty similar to what you described, except with a fresh, new twist on how characters' strength is determined. I won't post the link twice; it's in my previous post if you want to contribute.

Dunno why Sonic and Rosalina are being mentioned when Shulk is literally a God who slayed a God wielding two powerful Godly weapons. All in one slash(it cut through Lady M and Zanza's Monado like butter) then he literally rewrites the universe into his image.

The Blue DBZ wannabe and some Space chick that Nintendo loves can't top him. Thread should be closed.

I've already discussed :4sonic:'s powers too many times in this thread, so I'll just let the Wiki pages speak for themselves:

Yet with all those DBZ rip off powers he never solos a final boss(deity). He needed Shadows help to beat that lizard thing in SA2, couldn't even solo Metal Overlord,Passed out against Dark Gaia even with Chips help,Needed Silver and Shadow to beat Soloris.

Only time Super Sonic solos is against Eggmans big robot(and against Perfect Chaos who was extremly weak like for real Knuckles can beat Chaos 6 the second most powerful stage), as i said why Sonic and Rosa are being on the same tier as Shulk is confusing me he IS number 1 i can post a youtube video of Shulk slicing Zanza in half and then rewriting the universe.


There's a reason why Xenoblade isn't getting a direct sequel, cuz Shulk solves all problems which is why Xenoblade X is a spiritual sequel that takes place over 2000 years after.

* waits for sonicbrawler's inevitable rebuttal *
2 is just a number(Rosalina)
and 3 no one remembers(Sonic)

And Rosalina has rebuilt the universe in her own image multiple times (though this image is probably less hers as such and more for the benefit of all who reside in the cosmos, hence, she also raises Lumas to grow up to be what they wanna be). It's literally her job.

I would actually argue that Rosalina's job is harder than what Shulk did by virtue of the fact Shulk just remade something for his own views, where as Rosalina remakes everything for everyone.

Her Amiibo description even states that she protects the cosmos from "any and all threats", warding off evil in the universe is also literally her job (this is actually the likely reason why her cat suit is black in 3D World, and not just her default colour like with Luigi, Peach, and Toad - a black beckoning cat is used ward off evil spirits in Japanese culture, and the Lucky Cat Suit allows you to transform into a beckoning cat statue - so Rosalina's black colour, which is known to have been put in as a special request, is likely to symbolise her role).

Also if Shulk's power resides in the Monado, then it would technically mean it is the powerful thing here. Hence, one of his Smash Bros taunts is "This is the Monado's power!". Even he views it as the Monado granting him power.

Though with the Monado in hand, Shulk and Rosalina are on par with each other. I don't think Sonic tops them either, but him and Kirby come after Rosalina and Shulk.

Yet with all those DBZ rip off powers he never solos a final boss(deity).
Regular Sonic defeats Perfect Chaos (a god), while constantly dealing with his greatest weakness (water) in Sonic Generations.

Rosalina did it multiple times as she's old as hell, Shulk is 18 and did it no problem and he solved everything in one go. It takes over 2000 years for the next game to continue the story which means Shulk bought long lasting peace to the world unlike Rosalina who as you said 'makes the world for everyone' thus allowing Bowsers plans to repeat all the time, of course this is so more games can be made but this cannot be denied.

That Amiibo quote contradicts itself as Mario galaxy would not have happened at all as she would've solo'd Bowser and repelled his black magic. Nintendo(more so Shiguru) isn't good with logical plots so its understandable.

He says 'This is the Monodo's power' because its not his its Zanza's and it isn't at its full power either, the one he gets before killing Zanza is his thus its his power especially since he was chosen as the new God.

Shulk destroys her he got actual fighting feats unlike Rosalina, he slayed a God who had 2 Monado's he can also predict the future(ether isn't needed as he bodied Link and Marth using it). only reason why you place her as equal is because of bias, there is no such thing as equals there's always someone better ESPECIALLY in a fight.




Regular Sonic defeats Perfect Chaos (a god), while constantly dealing with his greatest weakness (water) in Sonic Generations.
Already stated that Chaos is weak, he takes the negative energy of chaos emeralds which is in canon weak and his 6th form being his second most powerful loses to Base characters alone.

And how is doing it multiple times a point against her? It means she has experience. IIRC, Shulk actually offed himself in the process (he wished for a world without gods, when he himself is) and as you said, needed a weapon to do it.

Plus, he didn't fix all of the problems in the world, humans formed their own problems. He simply got rid of the god problems.

And as has been stated multiple times, Rosalina needing help from Mario was gameplay-story segregation, just as much as Mega Man not teleporting straight to the Robot Master is, and just as Peach still getting kidnapped in the most unbelievable ways is. It's not a point against her, as we can clearly see she could have handled the situation, even if you just reference 3D World (in which she can literally defeat Bowser and is better than Mario at platforming and taking on the enemies and bosses).

"Chaos is an immortal, ageless, god-like creature that seems to be composed entirely of water (coincidentally, Sonic has a weakness of water), but is also said to be concentrated Chaos Emerald energy."
"[Perfect Chaos] is the Super State of Chaos, assumed by absorbing the negative energies of all seven Chaos Emeralds, and is Chaos's strongest known form."
So, we've got an immortal, god-like creature by itself being powered by the most powerful source of raw power in the Sonic universe (barring the Master Emerald, but the Chaos Emeralds are tied to the Master Emerald) to become even more powerful. Yes, so weak. Also, seven Chaos Emeralds as opposed to six makes all the difference, since anyone who combines all seven of the Chaos Emeralds can command ultimate power. Which means that Sonic can topple what is canonically referred to as "ultimate power," being commanded by a deity-like, immortal creature, with ease. And that's all before he goes Super.

Also other characters being able to defeat Chaos 6 means nothing. The difference between Chaos 6 and Perfect Chaos is like night and day - one is a big, but not huge creature with limited power that is just a dot compared to Eggman's Egg Carrier, the other is a giant that floods entire cities and can take out the Egg Carrier with ease.

"Transonic
Mach = 1.0" (not Mach 0.8 - 1.2)
"Supersonic
Mach > 1.0" (includes Mach 1.000000(etc.)01)
All this time, I was defining "supersonic" as more than Mach 1, and I also said that we can only be sure that she's travelling just above Mach 1, since that's all the use of the word "supersonic" tells us.
Actually, if you read that link from which that image comes, you'd realize that, "As the speed of the object approaches the speed of sound, the flight Mach number is nearly equal to one, M = 1, and the flow is said to be transonic." Nearly to one, M = 1. It doesn't mean transonic is Mach 1. Mach 1 is 343 m/s, which is the speed of sound. To be near Mach 1 would mean that it's not subsonic (Mach 0.8), or the speed of sound (Mach 1), but somewhere in between, such as Mach 0.9.

As for supersonic, prove based on that does not include Mach 1.000000 . . . 1. That Mach number would be 343.0000343 m/s. If you notice in math, you can only round up if the number if 5 or greater. Considering this Mach number is so negligible, it would fall under "speed of sound".

Mach 1.(zeros)1 was meant to represent just above the speed of sound, or at the bottom range of "supersonic." Regardless of whether or not you can round it up, 343.0000343 m/s > 343 m/s. The reason it says "nearly equal to one" is because aircraft aren't going to actually travel at exactly Mach 1 (it might travel at 343.0000343 m/s, for example), due to all the variables involved (thruster performance, flaps, etc.). Thus, there is a bit of a margin for error. Otherwise, pretty much no aircraft would fall under the "transonic" category. It wouldn't be Mach 0.9, with this reasoning; more like Mach 0.95-0.99. Also, I don't see where you're getting that Mach 0.8 figure from.

I'm replying on my phone. This will have to be the last comment for today as I'll be busy at work.

I know what you mean when you say Mach 1.0 . . . 1. All I'm saying is that you need to prove that, especially if you're going to start saying there are so many variables that an aircraft isn't going to be precisely at 343 m/s. So my point still stands if that truly is the case.

I'm taking Mach 0.8 from Wikipedia's regime flow, meaning that if Mach 1 is 343 m/s, then anything lower than that, whether it be Mach 0.8 or Mach 0.9 - 0.95, is still transonic. Subsonic is 111.76 m/s (Mach 0.32).

Going with the whole weapons thing i guess anyone could do it right? Only vessels of God can wield the Monoda Alvis is a perfect example, Shulk is Zanza's greatest creation thus him having the greatest power the Monado is Shulks power. Shulk still has the power but he would never abuse it so he got rid of Gods, he himself is still a God but he chooses to live as a Homs which in turn saves the whole Xenoblade verse for over 2000 years Rosalina just creates more and more stupid planets but doesn't solve the core of all evil "she repels darkness" yet she fails to destroy the corruption.
Plus, he didn't fix all of the problems in the world, humans formed their own problems. He simply got rid of the god problems.
The game > you're opinion.

The game ended on a good note, everyone lived in peace there were no Telethia ready to destory all Homs no conflict between Mechonis and Bionis. Problems only arise in its spiritual sequel. Shulk did a better job of a God than Rosalina that's for sure despite all this experience.

And as has been stated multiple times, Rosalina needing help from Mario was gameplay-story segregation,
I concur with that but once again you repeat yourself to make your posts look like its got any substance, stop because i already know but feats are feats not my fault shigeru doesn't care about plot and such.
It's not a point against her, as we can clearly see she could have handled the situation, even if you just reference 3D World (in which she can literally defeat Bowser and is better than Mario at platforming and taking on the enemies and bosses).
Toad can beat Bowser,Peach can beat Bowser.

"Chaos is an immortal, ageless, god-like creature that seems to be composed entirely of water (coincidentally, Sonic has a weakness of water), but is also said to be concentrated Chaos Emerald energy."
"[Perfect Chaos] is the Super State of Chaos, assumed by absorbing the negative energies of all seven Chaos Emeralds, and is Chaos's strongest known form."
So, we've got an immortal, god-like creature by itself being powered by the most powerful source of raw power in the Sonic universe (barring the Master Emerald, but the Chaos Emeralds are tied to the Master Emerald) to become even more powerful. Yes, so weak. Also, seven Chaos Emeralds as opposed to six makes all the difference, since anyone who combines all seven of the Chaos Emeralds can command ultimate power. Which means that Sonic can topple what is canonically referred to as "ultimate power," being commanded by a deity-like, immortal creature, with ease. And that's all before he goes Super.
Super Emeralds are the 2nd most powerful things in the series, Chaos is immortal but doesn't mean it can't be beaten. Chaos takes in the NEGATIVE ENERGY OF THE CHAOS EMERALDS thus making it weaker and it doesn't achieve ultimate power. The later game proves my point, he couldn't beat Dark Gaia,couldn't beat Biolizard on his own, put Generation Sonic against these 2 and he'll be dead.

Hyping up the first and most weakest deity in Sonic isn't doing you any good, anyway he's weaker than Shulk so all this don't matter reading all these attempts to make him and Rosa on the same tier is adorable really shows how far bias can take you.

Also other characters being able to defeat Chaos 6 means nothing. The difference between Chaos 6 and Perfect Chaos is like night and day - one is a big, but not huge creature with limited power that is just a dot compared to Eggman's Egg Carrier, the other is a giant that floods entire cities and can take out the Egg Carrier with ease.
Doesn't change the fact that its the second strongest of its evolution line, so it means something you guys are bad at this thing tbh. Already shut down the PC hype and how no matter how you try to fabricate the events he and Rosa are weaker than Shulk.

Hey we're doing it all over again.

@ Munomario777 Munomario777

I think I'll contribute an olimar moveset to the other thread, should I scale him up to 100 pikmin or go with the three given in his moveset?

And Rosalina has rebuilt the universe in her own image multiple times (though this image is probably less hers as such and more for the benefit of all who reside in the cosmos, hence, she also raises Lumas to grow up to be what they wanna be). It's literally her job.

I would actually argue that Rosalina's job is harder than what Shulk did by virtue of the fact Shulk just remade something for his own views, where as Rosalina remakes everything for everyone.

Her Amiibo description even states that she protects the cosmos from "any and all threats", warding off evil in the universe is also literally her job (this is actually the likely reason why her cat suit is black in 3D World, and not just her default colour like with Luigi, Peach, and Toad - a black beckoning cat is used ward off evil spirits in Japanese culture, and the Lucky Cat Suit allows you to transform into a beckoning cat statue - so Rosalina's black colour, which is known to have been put in as a special request, is likely to symbolise her role).

Also if Shulk's power resides in the Monado, then it would technically mean it is the powerful thing here. Hence, one of his Smash Bros taunts is "This is the Monado's power!". Even he views it as the Monado granting him power.

Though with the Monado in hand, Shulk and Rosalina are on par with each other. I don't think Sonic tops them either, but him and Kirby come after Rosalina and Shulk.
There is probably a reason why she cares a wand and care for the lumas.

Anyway, forget K. Rool. :4bowser: is most powerful. Without him :4mario: and Green :4mario: wouldn't be the savor of the Mushroom Kingdom and take a job as a doctor. Bad things happen when history doesn't go is right direction, examples include:

Daisy might still be a hostage of Tatanga, :4wario2: wouldn't be greedy, :4luigi: wouldn't be a coward, :4yoshi: wouldn't recognized the Mario crew, :4sonic: never existed if World 1-1 didn't happen, :4rob: won't have a system to be compatible with, :rosalina: would be with the lumas all her life and be absent in every game ever. :4peach: can't play damsel, and Smithy could take over the world when he wants to.

Don't forget that just about everyone else, and the CONSOLE INDUSTRY would never exist after the 83 crash if :4bowser: simply never took power of the Koopas.

I'm replying on my phone. This will have to be the last comment for today as I'll be busy at work.

I know what you mean when you say Mach 1.0 . . . 1. All I'm saying is that you need to prove that, especially if you're going to start saying there are so many variables that an aircraft isn't going to be precisely at 343 m/s. So my point still stands if that truly is the case.

I'm taking Mach 0.8 from Wikipedia's regime flow, meaning that if Mach 1 is 343 m/s, then anything lower than that, whether it be Mach 0.8 or Mach 0.9 - 0.95, is still transonic. Subsonic is 111.76 m/s (Mach 0.32).
I completely understand.

The Mach 1.0000001 was more hyperbole than anything, if I'm being honest. When I say that, I mean the lowest supersonic speed.

So you say my source (the Merriam Dictionary) is unreliable, and then you use Wikipedia. Riiiiight... Anyway, the subsonic definition there goes against the excerpt from your own NASA reference:
"Subsonic
Mach < 1.0"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the subject of :4sonic:, I have a point that could boost him even higher than he is now, depending on whether or not we want to restrict certain abilities.

There's been some talk around here about deity figures, specifically :4shulk:and :rosalina:, and their ability to reshape the world at will. However, Sonic has taken on something of this nature.

Meet the Time Eater. This monstrosity is "an alien creature with the power to 'erase time and space,'" and that's before Classic and Modern Eggman revamped it to be even more powerful. This beast has powers such as full control over time and space and the ability to destroy them/change them at will, telekinesis, free dimensional travel, and more. However, the Sonics were able to defeat even this deity-like being by entering Super Sonic form.

I know what you're thinking (I think). "But in Sonic Generations, there were two Sonics! Where would Sonic find another Sonic?" The question isn't "where," it's "when."

Now, hear me out. This is what I meant by restricting certain abilities at the beginning of this little section of the post. If we restrict time travel, then this whole theory is pretty much void. I might be stretching this a bit, but it sort of makes sense. So, for Sonic to have two of himself, he would need either a cloning machine or time travel. Since Sonic doesn't have the ability to clone objects/people at will, we'll be turning to time travel. What game has Sonic time travelling, you ask? Well, it was brought up earlier in the thread: Sonic The Hedgehog, 2006.

"But Sonic '06 isn't canon!" I hear you typing. Well, it is represented in Sonic Generations in the form of Crisis City, as well as Silver's presence. While it may not be in the main timeline, it can be seen as a "semi-canon" game, that meaning it didn't happen, but it could have happened, since both it and canon branch off of the same game, that being Sonic Heroes (or Shadow the Hedgehog, or something else I'm forgetting here). Think of it like the Zelda timeline, with its branches of Link's defeat and victory.

Anyway, in 2006, characters time travel multiple times, with two characters, each with a Chaos Emerald, inducing it together. There's no confirmation that this requires two characters, however, and with all seven Emeralds, the chance that Sonic alone could induce time travel is increased. Thus, Sonic could time travel to either the end or beginning of the battle and recruit a duplicate (or as many as he wants really, creating an army of Sonics).


But with a second Sonic comes a second set of Chaos Emeralds, allowing both Sonics to go Super (or they could use the same set of Emeralds, as seen in Generations's final boss) and combine their power to topple any time/space bending deity they come across. And no, Sonic can't be deity'd out of existence, since the Time Eater doesn't do it at any point in Sonic Generations. Furthermore, while Sonic's friends such as Tails are frozen when they enter the White Space at the beginning of the game, Sonic is only knocked unconscious.


So yeah.

Hey we're doing it all over again.

@ Munomario777 Munomario777

I think I'll contribute an olimar moveset to the other thread, should I scale him up to 100 pikmin or go with the three given in his moveset?
Scale it up, since Pikmin are canonically able to go up to 100. Also, thanks for contributing :)

Shulk still has the power but he would never abuse it so he got rid of Gods, he himself is still a God but he chooses to live as a Homs which in turn saves the whole Xenoblade verse for over 2000 years Rosalina just creates more and more stupid planets but doesn't solve the core of all evil "she repels darkness" yet she fails to destroy the corruption.
Shulk doesn't save the whole Xenoblade verse for 2,000 years, merely rids it of gods. He doesn't fix mortal corruption. Hence, Xenoblade Chronicles X (which is the result of a long build up, it didn't just happen suddenly).

If anything, Shulk is a huge hypocrite for doing what he did. He gets rid of gods because they interfere with mortal affairs, yet forces mortals to live a certain way in doing so (which eventually led to an uncontrolled war). He becomes exactly what he hates.

Rosalina, on the other hand, allows mortals to live as they wish, because it is a fact of life that both light and darkness are needed in the universe in moderation. Without one, the other cannot exist. That's why Bowser is allowed to do what he does, because without villains, heroes cannot exist, and then Rosalina would have to clean everything up when new villains arise - which would be bad, as now the universe is being ruled by a god (something Shulk fought against, but contradicted in his own actions - unless you are leaving something out). Rosalina merely lets everything run it's course, and then lets the cycle repeat itself, but "never in quite the same way". She's a guardian, not a ruler.

Shulk gives mortals a fish, Rosalina gives them a fishing rod and teaches them how to use it (and she does this in an even more literal sense with Lumas).

The game > you're opinion.
I gave you the background of XCX, not my opinion. So the game is better than the game?

Doesn't change the fact that its the second strongest of its evolution line, so it means something you guys are bad at this thing tbh.
Yes it does. "It's the second strongest of it's evolution line" means nothing. It's a statement, with no context. We've given you the context, and it goes against everything you are trying to say.

@ Munomario777 Munomario777 : Time Eater isn't actually a deity - it's an abomination formed from the leftover energy of the Nega Wisps in Sonic Colours. Eggman says he found Time Eater in it's "primordial form", meaning it's first stage of development. It was basically just a dormant vessel of energy until Eggman did anything with it. Meaning, Sonic didn't defeat a sentient being called Time Eater, he defeated another one of Eggman's creations.

Still impressive, but he basically just defeated Eggman yet again. Two of them, but with double the Eggman, comes double the ego, and double the ignorance.

On the subject of what :rosalina:and :4shulk:do with their deity powers, I don't think it would really mean anything, unless we're removing :4shulk:'s deity powers because he removed them himself at the end of Xenoblade. I mean, they both have deity powers; does it really matter what they do with them, in this context?

Rosalina would not reset the universe over a petty scrap, but I also don't think it would ever come to that against any of the cast. Like I said, she still controls gravity, can teleport, fly, summon a rain of shooting stars (i.e. a lethally hot substance), etc.

And like you said before, the character in Smash is, technically, Rosalina & Luma. So we actually should consider what they bring to the table for her:

-Lumas can transform into health expanding mushrooms, as well as 1-Up Mushrooms. Even if you assume Rosalina to be mortal, the Lumas could give her a stock of extra lives and heal her.
-Lumas can direct Prankster Comets.
-Lumas can become planets, galaxies, Power Stars, Grand Stars, Comets, etc, all of which could be utilised by Rosalina (for example, a Power Star provides her with a Final Smash in Smash Bros, and in Smash Bros, it's actually the strongest Final Smash by far in terms of raw damage output potential - if you could use it against the Hands, you could nearly one-shot them).
-They can fight hand to hand and are actually quite strong (even Palutena highlights this in Smash).
-Rosalina can summon all kinds of Lumas at will from all across the cosmos:




So basically, Rosalina is essentially invincible even if you assume she has no deity powers and is mortal - the Lumas can grant her effective immortality anyway, and they can offer so much offensive power too.

SO what happens when you pit two invincible characters against each-other....nothing? Unlike classic "invincible charachters" cough superman cough we don't really have a measuring stick for the limits of their invincibility.

They keep going until they call it a day and say "this is getting us nowhere, let's sit down and sort this out over a cup of tea".

I think Rosalina (and Luma)'s greatest weakness is that Lumas, in their base state, don't seem to be able to take too much of a beating (since they're noted to be plush in Palutena's Guidance, and they also seem to be pretty lightweight in general), and the Shop Lumas (the ones with the Mushrooms), Hungry Lumas (the ones that turn into planets, galaxies, etc.), and Lumacomètes (the ones that shuffle Prankster Comets) do take a few seconds to feed and transform, so this would be best done from a distance. Also, they use up Star Bits or Coins, and I don't believe Rosalina can summon either of those. She is definitely a very, very powerful fighter, however; just thought these downsides were worth mentioning.
SO what happens when you pit two invincible characters against each-other....nothing? Unlike classic "invincible charachters" cough superman cough we don't really have a measuring stick for the limits of their invincibility.
Well, I don't think any of the top 3 has really been shown to be 100% invincible; :4shulk:can be damaged in Xenoblade, and wasn't shown being in a life-threatening situation in his god form, so there's no proof that he is invincible, :rosalina:uses the standard health/damage system in 3D World (her latest appearance barring Mario Kart, Smash, and other spinoffs), and even :4sonic:'s Super Sonic form is susceptible to being crushed, falling into bottomless pits (except he can fly), and drowning in most of his appearances.

yeah that always bugged me, how do you drown underwater when you can survive in the vacuum of space?

Star Bits are literally everywhere though. They rain down on top of random planets all of the time, and since Rosalina definitely can control Stars, that would include Star Bits. Also Lumas seem to be able to generate Star Bits themselves.

Also, the Luma Shop is just that - a shop. Mario has to pay them, but I doubt they would make their mother figure pay for their assistance. The Luma Shop Lumas are not hungry, they are just making a trade. But since the Lumas will "sacrifice anything to protect Rosalina" (according to Palutena), then they wouldn't make her pay for anything.

Hungry Lumas also hint at taking more than they even need on occasion, like they take advantage of Mario to get more Star Bits than they actually need. I don't think they would do that to Rosalina. I've always interpreted Hungry Lumas as greedy, but they would let that go to protect Rosalina.

Also, Lumas can collect and shoot Star Bits themselves anyway, and can also generate them from some butterflies (that only showed up in Co-Star mode). Remember the Co-Star Luma in Galaxy 2?

Rosalina could actually utilise Lumas like Pikmin, to collect Star Bits, stuff each other's faces, leading to transformations, etc...so basically, she could summon a life farm or a galaxy farm whenever she wants.

I did quite some research using my knowledge from back when I played competitive Pokémon to find some interesting facts about Mewtwo!
First of all, Steelix( :208:) is a Pokémon that according to the Pokédex: "Its body has been compressed deep under the ground. As a result, it is even harder than a diamond.", but :mewtwomelee:, when mega-evolved into Mega-Mewtwo-Y, can knock out a Steelix easily, look for yourself: 252+ SpA Mega Mewtwo Y Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Steelix: 366-432 (103.3 - 122%) -- guaranteed OHKO (If you don't know what are those numbers, they are EVs, they basically add more oomf to the stats, though I made there boosts equal by maxing Mewtwo's Special Attack and maxing Steelix's HP and Special Defense.
According to the 'Dex, Pidgeot (:018:) can "fly at Mach 2 speed, seeking prey", and Mega-Pidgeot get's a speed boost, so is even faster. Now, for comparison, Mega-Pidgeot has base 121 speed and Mega-Mewtwo-Y has base 140, so M-M2-Y is faster than Mach 2 speed
And to end this, Nidoking's(:034:) entry's to the Pokédex mention a lot his tail, with entries like "It uses its powerful tail in battle to smash, constrict, then break the prey's bones.","Its tail is thick and powerful. If it binds an enemy, it can snap the victim's spine quite easily." and "One swing of its mighty tail can snap a telephone pole as if it were a matchstick.", but how does it fair against Mewtwo?
252+ Atk Nidoking Dragon Tail vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Mewtwo Y: 82-97 (23.2 - 27.4%) -- 71.8% chance to 4HKO, it either 5 Hit or 4 Hit KO's MM2Y, which is, by the way, the weaker form defensively of the 2 mega-evolutions.

Fair point, but I think of the Star Bits as more of a "fuel" rather than a currency, since they undergo a physical transformation, and IIRC, they mention they "feel" like they're about to...
TRANSFOOOOORM!

Also, I would think Rosalina would have put in a good word for Mario, or if not, the Lumas probably wouldn't be taking advantage of the guy who was getting their power stars back :p

Well Mario wouldn't be much of a platforming hero if he did not have to pay any...small fees...



But in all seriousness, the Lumas were all over the universe. Not all of them reside on the Observatory, and that's where Rosalina resided. So she didn't get to spread any word.

She probably easily could have, but again, gameplay-story segregation.

In Galaxy 1, the ones that were in the Observatory still required Mario to feed them to form the galaxies.

Well, I still think it's a fuel; it would take a lot of energy to make an entire galaxy from a little Luma, after all, and both Star Bits and Coins are shown to be sources of energy (both give extra lives, Bits stun enemies, and Coins refill Mario's health). Plus, the ones inside galaxies that form only planets require significantly less Star Bits, or less energy, than those in the Observatory that create whole galaxies. I would hesitate to chalk it up to gameplay-story segregation, as there's solid evidence against it (unlike the "Rosalina needs Mario's help" argument, which can be described as g.s.s., this has solid evidence against it being g.s.s., rather than for it being g.s.s.). I hope that last part made sense, lol.

If the ones in the Observatory, that create whole galaxies, require less Star Bits than the ones who make planets, then that's definitive proof of it being currency. Basic project management logic will tell you that to make something bigger, you need more resources, and a galaxy is definitely bigger than a planet. If it were fuel, the ones who require galaxies would require more.

Should also be noted that Star Bits are merely a Luma's favourite food, not their only food:



So no, Star Bits are actually definitely not fuel. They are cocaine to the Lumas. :p

Oh, also this:



Straight from the horse's mouth.

Munomario777, check Pilot's Encyclopedia of Aeronautical Knowledge. Subsonic is below Mach 0.75. Transonic is between 0.75 and 1.2. Supersonic is 1.2 to 5. Hypersonic is 5 and above. Also, the NASA reference didn't contradict.

Oops, that was meant to say "less." Edited. The Lumas might be programmed to enjoy Star Bits, since they get energy from them, similar to how we humans enjoy eating healthy foods. Also, the resource thing is my point exactly. The Lumas need more fuel to make galaxies, which usually consist of multiple planets.

Your Wikipedia reference contradicted the NASA definitions of the words. NASA > Wikipedia. A book on aeronautics (air travel) doesn't have authority on the running speed of a space suit-equipped human being, especially when NASA and the English language contradict it. Samus is not a plane. She is a human being in a specially-equipped space suit, running on the ground.

Look at the image I added to my post.

Polari literally describes them as a privilege to Lumas, and then proceeds to say "let's call those morsels my fee for this lesson". This is done to teach the player that they are a currency, and that Lumas will be the ones who accept this currency.

So Star Bits are straight up a currency/privilege to Lumas. Paying more to make galaxies still makes sense too, since you would naturally pay more for a bigger product.

Think about it. Why do people get money? To trade it. The Lumas kind of ate it, so that's out of the question. Food is a good method of pay, maybe not in our society, but it could be accepted as the standard in the Lumas' society. Note how he says "morsels." You wouldn't eat currency. You would eat food, which is a source of energy. Sure, they act as a currency gameplay-wise, but that doesn't mean the Lumas don't consume them for energy. I'd imagine dessert (they taste sweet like honey and it's their favorite food) would be a "privilege" to the Lumas, and come to think of it, the transformation process sort of resembles a sugar rush: transforming (the energy burst) and then turning into a stationary galaxy/planet (the "tired out" period afterwards).
