Rosalina & Luma (ロゼッタ&チコ, Rosetta & Chiko) are playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, controlled as one. They were confirmed as playable characters on June 12, 2018. Continuing a trend often set in the Mario series, Rosalina & Luma are now unlockable characters. Kerri Kane, who first voiced Rosalina in Mario Kart 7, reprises her role via recycled voice clips from Smash 4.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
Aesthetics
- As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Rosalina and Luma's models feature a more subdued color scheme. Rosalina's gown now features simple textile detailing.
- Rosalina's slippers are now their usual silver, rather than matching the blue shade of her dress.
- During Power Star, an outer space backdrop temporarily appears.
- Rosalina's dress now has independent physics.
- Rosalina's airdodge now causes a bright light to appear as she steps right or left. Additionally, her sidestep animation now features more effects as she teleports.
Attributes
- Like all characters, Rosalina's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
- Rosalina's shield now covers Luma as well. [1]
- Luma now panics when Rosalina takes damage, preventing her from controlling it while she's in hitstun.
- Luma's respawn time has shortened from 13 seconds to seven seconds.
Ground Attacks
- Luma's jab movement and range have decreased significantly, no longer pushing Luma forward. This hinders Rosalina's ability to space with jab.
Aerial Attacks
- Rosalina has a new neutral aerial: she spins her wand around herself.
- Neutral aerial now hits in front of Rosalina first, improving its usability and safety. It also has greatly decreased endlag.
- However, neutral aerial's range has been nerfed significantly. It also has slightly increased startup frames and less active frames.
- Up aerial's endlag has increased.
- Down aerial is slower in terms of speed.
Special Moves
- Gravitational Pull can now equip items instead of only pulling them in.
- Power Star pulls opponents in towards the multi-hitting star, making it more effective as a damage dealing attack. The Power Star itself also covers more area, and grows significantly faster.
- Power Star has a shorter duration.
- Power Star is now a Grand Star.

Trivia
- Rosalina's video on the official website features a visual glitch: when Rosalina uses her new neutral aerial her dress goes abnormally high, revealing her legs disjointed from her body.
- One of the screenshots on the official website featuring Rosalina in a white-and-red dress and a seemingly dazed Pichu is a reference to the White Mage, a classic healing class from the Final Fantasy series.
- Despite Rosalina's final smash being a Power Star in her video like in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, she instead summons a Grand Star in the final version of the game.
