Facing Space

Facing Space is the first episode of the Super Mario Galaxy: Journey to the Stars series. This is the dub of The Born Star (うまれた星/umareta hoshi?). Luma falls from the sky as Bowser begins to invade.

Plot
On the night of the Star Festival, Peach sends Mario and Luigi a letter; an invitation. The bros. agree to go and set off. While waiting, a star falls from the sky and Peach accidently steps on him. He mutters in anger and corrects Peach, who thinks Luma is a cookie that Santa Claus didn't enjoy. Toad comes out to see what was going on, and mistakens Luma for a star-shaped pillow. Luma had no time to argue-he had to get the "Power Stars" from a monster before he, him mom, and his friends perish. Toad mutters "No big surprise" and the festival begins.

People are at the front of the castle grounds to get their ticket, and Mario & Luigi get V.I.P. However, on the way to the castle. A meteor falls from the sky. Luigi thinks it's red, moldy cheese, but Mario corrects him. They see a Toad trapped in a crystal playing cards with another trapped Toad. Mario yells that they are crazy, to which one of them say "You are too. We thought of it first". More meteors fall from the sky along with Bowser's airships invading. Bowser announces that Peach and him decided to create a private galaxy. Peach denies, but Bowser pulls out a deed saying she signed it. However, Bowser falsely er signature from a valentines card saying he was too ugly to be loved. Bowser throws the deed away, and orders a U.F.O with falsely dressed aliens (Bowser's minions) to cut the castle's exterior. They do so, and the castle rises. Luigi tries the Heli-Hat to fly up to the castle, but Bowser creates a tornado that sucks the Mario Bros. up. They are, accidently, shot up to the castle's balcony.

Peach thanks Mario and Luigi for coming, and says when they get down, they'll celebrate with a party. Kamek however comes, and comes to throw Mario away with a fishing net. He then throws Luigi away with his own Sky Cape, rounds it up, and propels him to the Ghostly Galaxy. Peach begins to cry, but the Mario Bros. are okay, and meet up while falling to a planet with a green field. Bowser, thinking his mission is complete, orders his minions to start building, which they do so.
