'''Rosalina''' ({{ja|ロゼッタ|Rozetta}}, ''Rosetta'') is a character from the ''{{Uv|Mario}}'' series. Rosalina is the adoptive mother of the [[mariowiki:Luma (species)|Lumas]], 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. She was confirmed as a [[newcomer]] for ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' on December 18, 2013 via [[Nintendo Direct]].

Rosalina highly resembles [[Princess Peach]], although her physical features are lighter than Peach's; she has paler skin, platinum blonde hair and her eyes are a lighter shade of blue. However, her hairstyle is different than Peach's, with the most noticeable difference being the large bang that covers a large portion of the right side of her face. Rosalina is also noticeably taller than Peach and even most ''Mario'' characters in general. Rosalina's attire is also similar to Peach's, yet deviates from hers in a few noticeable ways: its coloration is turquoise and subdued rather than pink and vivid, while her earrings and brooch display star-shaped motifs. Unlike Peach, Rosalina wields a wand, which also sports a star-shaped motif on its tip.  

Rosalina debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'', where she is a major non-playable character. She commandeers the {{s|mariowiki|Comet Observatory}}, which visits [[mariowiki:Mushroom World|her home planet]] once every 100 years, and functions as the home of both her and the [[mariowiki:Luma (species)|Lumas]]. Her backstory is also explained in [[mariowiki:Rosalina's Storybook|a storybook]] that 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 [[mariowiki:Luma (character)|Luma]] find his mother, which eventually led to them building the Comet Observatory together, Rosalina learning about the death of her own mother during her journey, and Rosalina subsequently forming a new familial relationship with the Lumas as their adoptive mother.

Rosalina also appeared in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}'', but has a vastly reduced role, as her only involvement in the story is to reunite with [[mariowiki:Luma (character)|Luma]] after he assisted [[Mario]] in defeating [[Bowser]] for the final time. However, the {{s|mariowiki|Cosmic Spirit}}, a being that is almost identical to Rosalina, appears in various [[mariowiki:Galaxy|galaxies]] via the [[mariowiki:Super Guide#Super Mario Galaxy 2|Cosmic Guide]] and helps Mario or [[Luigi]] should they require assistance in gaining a {{s|mariowiki|Power Star}}. Additionally, Rosalina herself will appear on {{s|mariowiki|Starship Mario}} after the player completes [[mariowiki:Grandmaster Galaxy#The Perfect Run|"The Perfect Run" in the Grandmaster Galaxy]].

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

===As a playable character===

Rosalina is 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 falling under the "puppet fighter" archetype like the [[Ice Climbers]]. Rosalina's proportions are based upon her appearances in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}'', although her dress sports star-shaped motifs and her high heels are now turquoise like her dress, rather than silver.

Rosalina & Luma are ranked 8th out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the A tier. They have a highly defensive [[neutral game]], with Luma notably being able to shield Rosalina, and [[Gravitational Pull]] being able to render [[projectile]] camping 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 power thanks to Luma's standalone power and Rosalina's [[Disjoint|disjointed]] range. However, Luma can be KO'd temporarily, removing one of Rosalina's key strengths and even rendering two of her moves, [[Luma Shot]] and [[Star Bits]], useless. Rosalina herself is also tall and very light, making her easy to launch. Rosalina's recovery move, [[Launch Star]], is long-ranged and can be angled, but renders her vulnerable due to its lack of hitboxes. Nevertheless, Rosalina & Luma's positives have allowed them to enjoy consistent and strong tournament results.

In Smash Bros., Rosalina and Luma can fight in different places at the same time. If you can trap someone between Rosalina and Luma, you'll be able to unleash incredible damage!''

In Smash Bros., Rosalina and Luma can fight in different places at the same time. If you can trap someone between Rosalina and Luma, you'll be able to unleash incredible damage with their joined attacks!''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''Rosalina and the Lumas have been close ever since she travelled the galaxy with one to help the little star find its mother. Now, the commander of the Comet Observatory appears in this game, with her trusty companion fighting alongside her. Their greatest strength is being able to attack together at the same time.''

:{{Flag|North America}} ''Rosalina can pull in items and projectiles around her with her Gravitational Pull move. Her up special Launch Star is a diagonal jump and, though harmless, it has exceptional range. You also have some control over Rosalina's trajectory when she uses it.''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''With a flick of Rosalina's wand, the move Gravitational Pull draws in items - even ones that are stuck somewhere. Her Launch Star up special is a diagonal jump that can be aimed slightly. It doesn't deal any damage, but it helps you jump higher and stay in the air longer, making it ideal for getting back to the stage easily.''

*Rosalina's classification as a [[Weight|lightweight]] in ''SSB4'' deviates from her classification as a heavyweight in the [[mariowiki:Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. However, it has been stated that Rosalina's heavyweight status is due to her tall stature, rather than explicitly being due to her physical weight.

*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.

*{{forwiiu}} marked the first time Kerri Kane voiced Rosalina on a [[Wii U]] game instead of Laura Faye Smith. This was done for consistency reasons.

*Rosalina and [[Bowser Jr.]] are the only playable ''Mario'' characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to have debuted in the 21st century.
