'''Rosalina''' ({{ja|ロゼッタ|Rozetta}}, ''Rosetta'') is a character from the {{uv|Mario}} series. Rosalina is the adoptive mother of the [[Luma]]s, and is among the most powerful characters within her home series, as she watches over the universe in addition to taking care of the Lumas.

Rosalina, alongside six varieties of Lumas (including {{iw|mariowiki|Polari}}), made their ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' debuts as a tag team of playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. They return in that capacity in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

==Origin==
==Origin==
Rosalina is a youthful-looking woman whose appearance highly resembles [[Princess Peach]]. She has platinum blonde hair, styled into a bang that covers the majority of the right side of her face. She is also noticeably taller than Peach, and most ''Mario'' characters in general. Rosalina's attire consists of a turquoise empire waist dress which bares resemblance to a nightgown, with tapering sleeves, a low neckline that exposes her shoulders, and a petticoat that can slightly be seen at the bottom. Her earrings and brooch display star-shaped motifs, and she wields a wand which also sports a star-shaped motif on its tip.

Her earrings and brooch display star-shaped motifs, and she wields a wand which also sports a star-shaped motif on its tip.


Rosalina debuted in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'', where she is a major non-playable character. She commandeers the {{iw|mariowiki|Comet Observatory}}, which visits [[mariowiki:Earth|her home planet]] once every century, and functions as a home for both herself and the {{iw|mariowiki|Luma|species}}s. Her backstory is detailed in [[mariowiki:Rosalina's Storybook|a storybook]], which she reads to the Lumas at various points during the game. The storybook reveals that Rosalina first journeyed into outer space to help a lost {{iw|mariowiki|Luma|character}} find his mother, which eventually led to the duo building the Comet Observatory together, Rosalina coping with the death of her own mother, and subsequently forming a new familial relationship with the Lumas as their adoptive mother.

Although Rosalina has a vastly reduced role in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}'', she made her first playable appearance in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart Wii}}'', and has been playable within the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' series and a number of other ''Mario'' spin-off games ever since. Her first playable appearance within the [[mariowiki:Super Mario (series)|main ''Mario'' series]] occurred in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D World}}'', where she is the game's only unlockable character and can use the {{iw|mariowiki|Spin}} from the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games.

In the Wii games, Rosalina was voiced by {{s|mariowiki|Mercedes Rose}}, but was succeeded by {{iw|mariowiki|Kerri Kane}} in ''Mario Kart 7''; the latter reprised the role in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'' and ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' via recycled and previously unused recordings, and is retained in ''Mario Sports Superstars''{{'}} golf mode and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. As of ''Super Mario 3D World'', {{iw|mariowiki|Laura Faye Smith}} currently portrays Rosalina outside of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, with some of Kane's voice clips being repurposed for a few games.

Rosalina makes her first appearance as a [[newcomer]] in ''SSB4''. In addition to her own moveset, she is allied with a [[Luma]], who has its own moveset and can assist her with almost all of her attacks. Luma can be controlled along with Rosalina, which results in the pair adhering to the "puppet fighter" archetype, similarly to the [[Ice Climbers]]. Unlike in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'' and ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}'', Rosalina's dress sports star-shaped motifs, and her high heels are colored turquoise instead of silver.

Rosalina & Luma have a highly defensive [[neutral game]], with Luma notably being able to shield Rosalina, and [[Gravitational Pull]] being able to render [[projectile]]s useless against them. When the pair are together, they can be difficult to [[approach]], as one can cover the other and [[punish]] opponents when in danger. They also have good KO potential, thanks to Luma's standalone power and Rosalina's [[disjoint]]ed range. However, Luma can be KO'd temporarily; in addition to removing one of Rosalina's key strengths, a KO'd Luma renders two of the duo's special moves, [[Luma Shot]] and [[Star Bits]], unusable. Rosalina herself is also tall and very light, making her easy to launch. Rosalina's recovery move, [[Launch Star]], is long-distanced and can be angled, but renders her vulnerable because of its lack of hitboxes.

Overall, Rosalina & Luma's strengths largely outweigh their weaknesses, as they have enjoyed consistent and strong tournament results. As a result, they are currently ranked 5th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the A tier.

Rosalina, along with Luma, return as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros Ultimate''. This time, she is an unlockable character, like in most previous ''Mario'' games.

*Rosalina's classification as a [[Weight|lightweight]] deviates from her classification as a heavyweight in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' series, where she is in the same weight class as [[Donkey Kong]], [[Waluigi]] (who became a heavyweight in ''Mario Kart Wii'') and [[Link]]. However, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated on a Miiverse post that the reason for this is because of her utilizing anti-gravity, similar to [[Mewtwo]].<ref>[https://shoryuken.com/2013/12/24/masahiro-sakurai-provides-further-information-on-rosalina-in-upcoming-super-smash-bros-3ds-version-of-rainbow-road-stage-revealed/ Masahiro Sakurai Provides Further Information on Rosalina in Upcoming Super Smash Bros., 3DS Version of Rainbow Road Stage Revealed]</ref>

**Additionally, in the ''Mario Kart'' series, kart classes are based not only on weight, but height as well; Rosalina is classified as a heavyweight partially due to her tall stature.
**Additionally, in the ''Mario Kart'' series, it has been suggested that Rosalina is in the heavyweight class due to her tall height, rather than physically being heavy.<ref>http://honndana.sakura.ne.jp/mario/dr.cgi?key=297</ref>
*Attendants at the 2007 [http://www.whobby.com/ Whobby Game Festival] [[List of rumors#Assist trophy rumors|claimed to have seen]] an [[Assist Trophy]] of Rosalina in a demo of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. However, no evidence has been seen verifying the veracity of this claim, and there is no leftover data in the final game that indicates Rosalina was intended to be an Assist Trophy; no content from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' is present in ''Brawl'' other than a listing in the [[Chronicle]].

*Rosalina is the first playable character to have a unique victory theme from other characters of her universe who is not an antagonist of any sort. This distinction would later be shared with [[Lucina]], [[Robin]], [[Chrom]], [[Corrin]], and [[Byleth]].
*Rosalina and [[Bowser Jr.]] are the only playable ''Mario'' characters to have debuted in the 21st century.
**As a result, Rosalina is the only non-{{uv|Fire Emblem}} character with this trait.
**However, Rosalina is the only one out of the two that debuted before ''Brawl'' to not possess a trophy or reference of any kind in said game.
*In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the underside of Rosalina's dress features a pattern similar to a deep blue starry sky. However, this is not the case in her home series, in which either the petticoat of her dress is seen, or it is just the underside of her dress which is the same color as the outside.
*Rosalina is currently the tallest female playable character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, having overtaken [[Samus Aran]] as of ''SSB4''.
**Despite this, she is seen wearing a petticoat in Corrin's official poster.
**She is also the tallest playable protagonist in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, as the characters who are taller than her ([[Ridley]], [[Ganondorf]], [[King K. Rool]] and [[Bowser]]) are antagonists.<ref>[https://smashboards.com/threads/character-height-a-rough-start.402759/ Character Height: A Rough Start]</ref>
*Rosalina is the first playable character to have a unique victory theme from other characters of her universe who is not an antagonist of any sort. This distinction would later be shared with [[Lucina]], [[Robin]], [[Chrom]] and [[Corrin]].

*In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the underside of Rosalina's dress features a pattern similar to a deep blue starry sky. However, this is not the case in her home series, in which a white petticoat is seen under her dress.
