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's portrayal of Rosalina from Smash 4 was repurposed for Ultimate, as was Yuya Takezawa's portrayal of Luma from Super Mario Galaxy.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release. |
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.
- Luma always face the screen regardless of direction it turns towards; Rosalina's stance, on the other hand, is not mirrored.
- 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 12.5 seconds in 1v1 matches, and 7 seconds in matches with 3+ players.
- Luma's attacks now benefit from a 1.5 damage amplifier when Rosalina launches it away.
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
- Star Bits has more range.
- Star Bits fires fewer stars.
- 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.
- During Power Star, an outer space backdrop temporarily appears.
- 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.
- Rosalina's entry on the official Super Smash Blog was on October 31st, one day off from the game's 11th anniversary, which is on November 1st. It's possible that this was done because the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct was held on November 1st, and to avoid Rosalina's entry overlapping with new info from the Direct, her entry had to be written earlier than intended.
- However, Japan, being 14 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, would have received the update on November 1st.
- While every other character has the announcer say "(character) wins!" at the victory screen, Rosalina has the announcer say "Rosalina & Luma win!"; "(character) win!" is usually reserved for the Japanese version, though it is most likely used with Rosalina and Luma because of their two-in-one nature and name.
- Interestingly, the Ice Climbers do not share this distinction, despite sharing the two-in-one nature and name.
