Recreating Mario Galaxy’s Launch Star | Mix and Jam

In Super Mario Galaxy, Mario uses a Launch Star to fly from one planet to another. The whole animation feels very magical and it’s a great moment to appreciate the game’s environment. I wanted to try and replicate this mechanic and see if I could achieve a similar effect using Unity!
