—Introduction Tagline |
Rosalina & Luma (ロゼッタ&チコ, Rosetta & Chiko) have been confirmed to be newcomers in Super Smash Bros. 4 during the same month as the game Super Mario 3D World was launched. The first newcomer to be revealed following E3 2013, Rosalina's design in the game is slightly more realistic, similar to Peach's. She is confirmed to be a lightweight character despite her tall frame, similar to Mewtwo and Zelda.
Known moveset
- Creation of Lumas, which aid in attacks similar to Nana of the Ice Climbers. Lumas can attack while either next to or projected away from Rosalina, using a moveset (detailed below) implied to be connected with Rosalina's moveset. Lumas can be used to combo opponents back and forth with Rosalina, and like Pikmin can take attacks and be destroyed. They can also be colored yellow, green, red, blue, and silver. It is unknown if the colors represent different abilities/attributes or if they are purely cosmetic.
- Multiple kicks where miniature galaxies appear.
- Releasing a blast of magical energy in front of her. The attack can be charged, appearing to be her forward smash.
- An attack that appears to hit on both sides with the Luma hitting in the opposite order, appearing to be her down smash as it can be charged.
- Producing "Saturnian rings" for up tilt and down aerial (appears to be a meteor smash).
- Her air dodge, sidestepping, and rolling animations involve her disappearing and appearing in another place (except for her sidestep, in which she just disappears, but reappears on the same place).
- Rosalina can crawl.
Special moves
- Neutral special move: Luma Shot (Sends/summons Luma)
- Side special move: Star Bits (Luma fires out Star Bits)
- Up special move: Launch Star (ギャラクシージャンプ, Galaxy Jump); uses a Launch Star to propel herself long distances.
- Down special move: Gravitational Pull (アイテムキャプチャー, Item Capture) (Pulls items close and negates some moves)
- Final Smash: Power Star
- In a recent translated issue of Corocoro, Rosalina has been shown to have several variations of her special moves.

Taunts

Palette swaps

- Pink - Rosalina in a bright pink dress, similar to Peach
- Green - Rosalina in a lime green dress
- Gold - Rosalina in a gold dress
- White - Rosalina in a white and red dress; resembles Fire Rosalina from Super Mario 3D World, but with the colors inverted
- Note: None of Rosalina's palette swaps change the color of her brooch or jewels on her crown.
Luma
Luma (チコ, Chiko) and Rosalina have separate movesets when apart, allowing for various methods of fighting.
- Luma's attacks consist mostly of punches and kicks, such as an uppercut and PPK combo.
- Luma Shot lets it ram enemies on the way out.
- Star Bits makes it fire a short ranged projectile, albeit potentially at a distance from Rosalina
- Luma will also wander and attack on its own when separate from Rosalina.
- If Luma crosses a blast line, a KO explosion that is smaller than normal is seen on-screen.
