I greatly appreciate being able to wear my favorite Super Mario Galaxy 2 render over my favorite Super Mario Galaxy 2 background in 2025.

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out.

I have seen cloudless TAS videos before, but have not seen anyone talk to the Hungry Luma without the Cloud Flower.

Reach out to PurpleSunSR on Twitter if you can, they might be able to give you more information. 😊
