In the Super Mario Galaxy thing at the end of the article it says she is a princess. Then should'nt we call her a princess?--[[User:Poponana2|Poponana2]] ([[User talk:Poponana2|talk]]) 18:33, 4 February 2014 (EST)
Of the four "Sources" that state she's a princess, two of them are from Prima guides which are NOT published by Nintendo, a 404 error, and an image that has nothing to do with Rosalina. Unless someone can find evidence that she's a princess this should be removed. --[[Special:Contributions/104.205.8.141|104.205.8.141]] 23:03, 31 July 2018 (EDT)
:I believe the consensus on the Wiki is that, while Prima Guides are not published by Nintendo, they are officially endorsed by Nintendo and thus constitute an official source. And since there is no other official, conflicting evidence (something in Nintendo saying she isn't a princess), Prima guides still holds. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 01:46, 1 August 2018 (EDT)
She is, Nintendo officially confirmed her royal status on the Mario Kart 8 website now reformed into the Mario Kart Deluxe Website, there it referred to Pink Gold Peach and Baby Rosalina as the "New Princesses" and "Piston Popping Princesses" which makes sense if Nintendo thought of their original counterparts Rosalina and Peach as Princesses SO if Rosalina really wasn't a princess, why would Nintendo refer to her infant clone as one? Think about that.--[[User:WaluigiWarrior|WaluigiWarrior]] ([[User talk:WaluigiWarrior|talk]]) 18:33, 4 August 2018 (EST)
:This is an old conversation guys, one that was brought back up by myself down below. Prima is indeed official and licensed by Nintendo, btw. Respond to the later one, if you need to. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:26, 25 August 2018 (EDT)

Rosalina IS in Mario Kart Wii, I have unlocked her, and she is large. No weight, apparently. She also does have a luma circling her head every race or whatever your doing. So, no, it is NOT a rumor, I own the game.

==Rosalina's Mother?==


Is it worth giving Rosalina's mother a section in the article or giving her an article of her own? (even though it may only be a stub)? Just a thought I personally don't mind either way. [[User:Despot joil|Despot joil]]

In Rosalina's Storybook, it shows her mother twice, but maybe it's not actually what she saw in her dream, because, look closely - she looks EXACTLY like Rosalina. I consider that impossible, since there's no proof her mother has magic, but, also, there's no proof I'm right or wrong (key word or). I just think that it's not what Rosalina's mother actually looked like. Rosalina had some drastic changes made, like her hair was a red shade when she was young. Now it's more of a white-red-blond. Being with the lumas changed her in a way... Rosalina never could have inherited that magic from her parents! Plus, it never talks much about her father. I've been wondering about him...Maybe this shouldn't be called Rosalina's Mother anymore? But, at the end of Rosalina's Storybook, it says she never cried again, and to this day, visits her home by the hill once every hundred years. Did she get over her grief? Was she close to her father? Probably not. I want PROOF that I'm wrong! -Isjee594

NO! Nothing state that she's from the Mushroom World; hints mean nothing, this is just a bunch of speculation of her origins. She said she was from the "blue planet", there must be billions upon billions of planets in the universe that will be nicknamed the "blue planet". The logic of the Star Festival taking place every 100 years and it so happen that the comet observatory flies over Rosalina's home ever 100 years so that must be her homeplanet doesn't make sense. 1970 to 2070 is 100 years, 1975 to 2075 is ALSO 100 years. What I am saying is that Rosalina would most likely live on another "blue planet" that is VERY far away from the Mushroom World and the times in two different FAR away places are completely different. Let's say if both of those planets were real but began to hold life at different times; let's say the year 1 on the Mushroom World was on Earth years 2004 AD and the year 1 on the "blue planet" was on Earth years 1943 AD, so both of their schedules of from where to where a 100 years go can be completely different. So the alien category must stay on the Rosalina article. {{User|Zero777}}

Um, I know that this discussion is old but in her Storybook which shows her backstory, the storybook implies that she came from the Mushroom World and she calls it her home planet plus referred to it as blue. Also she's a HUMAN just like Mario Luigi, Peach and etc. Are you blind to see this? She stays within the same overall universe as the characters on the Mushroom World and what other planet would have human characters on it or from it? Like Earth is where we are, Mushroom World is where Mario and others live on and Rosalina visiting that planet every 100 years does make sense. She has no right to be called an alien. {{User|Nintendoplayerawesome}}

== Mario Kart 7 ==
 
I noticed how some characters have information about them being in Mario Kart 7, like the Queen Bee. Shouldn't we open a section about Rosalina being confirmed in the game? We already know that she got her own track (Rosalina's Ice World), that she is an unlockable playable character and that she doesn't have her Luma around her anymore. Or at least something short, like "She is scheduled to appear as a playable character in Mario Kart 7". This is my very first contribution ever, so if this is a stupid or unnecessary question, please let me know.
{{unsigned|FMGBASKFH}}
 
: In my opinion, it's really best to wait until the game itself gets released before adding that info in.

{{Unsigned|Fkane}}
 
Okay, i went under investigation about this matter by email both actress who were very generous of inform me.
 
Mercedes Rose didn't resume the role of Rosalina nor doesn't know how her name was on the credit at IMDb. Here's what she quote.
 
<blockquote>"''Actually, I have no idea! I recorded all my Rosalina stuff at one time and they have just reused it over and over again! I only know what is on my IMDb...which I assume Nintendo updated. I don't actually play any of the games and after I appeared in the first two, I stopped buying them.''"</blockquote>
 
As for Kerri Kane, she definitely did Rosalina in MK7. So it's safe to assume that she is currently the voice of Rosalina.
 
{{User:Lindsay151/sig}}

== Rosalina's Dress in 7 ==
 
Is it just me, or is Rosalina sporting a new dress in Mario Kart 7? I unlocked her today and I noticed the shoulder area of her dress looked different.{{unsigned|Why Bother}}
 
It looks different, yes, but it was probably due to graphical limitations. It probably could be mentioned within the article though. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] 14:53, 26 December 2011 (EST)
 
I think the graphic limitations made all the princesses shorter too. They all look much shorter in the game. {{User:Tails777/sig}}
 
I also noticed that Rosalina looks shorter in the game. It's particularly clear when using the Pipe Frame. Is that note-worthy in the article?
{{unsigned|Why Bother}}
 
No no, we're not going to include those two in the article since Rosalina's dress in her artwork looks the same from MKWii, SMG, and SMG2; and I don't think the size difference is article-worthy since lots of characters change size a bit or a lot throughout the games. {{User|Zero777}}
 
: Per this; I don't think it's worth mentioning in the article itself either. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! [[User:MeritC|User Page]] | [[User_talk:MeritC|Talk Page]] 01:39, 27 December 2011 (EST)
 
== Rosalina's New Attitude ==
 
In playing as Rosalina I have noticed that she sounds very different. Not just because of her new portrayal. But she sounds less "monotone" (as described in the article)and has a louder voice due to that. I want to add that but I don't want to be stuck adding that with it being deleted every time. If this comment is not responded to I may as well edit it, I just don't want to interfere with any of the rules.

: I don't think it's actually that noteworthy to be inserted into the article itself.

a. the paragraph is confusing: "play 50 races or play 4957 (or some large number) race." what? B. i unlocked her just by playing galaxy, not 50 races. i just said when i got the game something like: "well done for buying Super Mario Galaxy, you unlocked Rosalina." {{unsigned|86.148.182.78}}
 
:It is saying there are 3 different ways to unlock Rosalina. The 1st way is to get 1-star ranking in all Mirror Mode grand prix cups.

== Rosalina's Family... ==
 
Okay, so I've been thinking about something for a long time. I've gathered some support, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it, and I know it may seem completely out-of-the-blue, but I kinda sorta see some small hint of a connection between Rosalina's past and the fates of Lord Blumiere and Lady Timpani. (Yes, from ''Super Paper Mario''.)
 
My strongest points of support are as follows:
*In her storybook, Rosalina consistently mentions living near a hill with a tree on top, where she went sledding and had picnics on 'warm and windy days' and such, and that her mother was 'sleeping' beneath the tree on that very same hill. The similarity: after SPM's credits roll, you got a glimpse of Timpani and Blumiere standing together atop a hill, near a tree, with wind blowing around them, happily reunited.
*Rosalina also remembers watching the stars at night with her father...And if you play Super Paper Mario, one of Tippi's memories (I believe it's the one following Chapter 5) reveals that Blumiere did the same thing with her when they met.
*At the end of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Rosalina mentions a power greater than the stars that governs the destiny of them all, and I believe Peach goes on to say that this power is the desire in one's heart to be reunited with someone special to them...Likewise, after Super Dimentio is defeated in SPM, Tippi proclaims to him that not everything is decided by fate, and that all things have the power to change their destiny, if they so desire. This indicates that Timpani and Rosalina have similar beliefs about destiny and what controls it.
 
Now, for the smaller points, which could more easily be regarded as coincidence:
*For starters, Blumiere wears a monocle. He probably has vision problems. Rosalina's hair covers one of her eyes. She ''may'' also have vision problems. I understand this one may sound a bit shaky, but I just thought I'd mention it.
*Throughout SMG, Rosalina displays, among other things, the power to levitate and project force fields around herself and other things, though she appears a normal human, for the most part. I understand this is more easily and sensibly attributed to the power she gains from the Grand Stars, but I think it's worth saying that Blumiere demonstrates these same powers throughout SPM, hinting at the 'diluted bloodline' thing the Tribe of Darkness tried so hard to avoid.
 
...That is an end to my points of support.
 
Of course, if this theory were true, it would mean that the world Timpani and Blumiere ended up in was actually the Mushroom World, as Rosalina makes it very clear that it is her home planet.
 
Thanks for reading, just wanted to know what people thought. [[Special:Contributions/107.211.236.202|107.211.236.202]] 12:48, 27 November 2013 (EST)
 
 
Check out The Game Theorists, he just did a two part video on Rosalina: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JcK_Bfe3sw&list=PL35FE5C4B157509C9&index=2
I think you will find the evidence very compelling. {{unsigned|SuperNovaXM}}
 
:I think that it's unlikely that Lady Timpani and Blumiere are Rosalina's parents. You have some good points, though. I think it's safe to say that Rosalina's parents are going to stay unknown unless Nintendo gives more info on exactly who Rosalina's parents and her brother are. At any rate, Lady Timpani and Blumiere being Rosalina's parents is more likely than Peach and Mario being her parents (and Peach being "dead", for that matter), as many fans speculate (including the one in that video). It's very intriguing! -- [[User:FanOfRosalina2007|FanOfRosalina2007]] ([[User talk:FanOfRosalina2007|talk]]) 17:02, November 11, 2023 (EST)
 
== Infobox image ==
 
I don't see anything wrong with the Super Mario 3D World image. Ideally recent artwork should be used unless it's specialized and in this case it isn't. [[User:Aokage|Aokage]] ([[User talk:Aokage|talk]]) 16:52, 18 December 2013 (EST)

So? Do we use Mario's Donkey Kong 1981 artwork? No. Do we use his original Super Mario Bros. sprite? No. We use his 3D World artwork, so I don't see why we can't use Rosalina's 3D World artwork. I mean, it is just a different pose right? Nothing's different about her outfit. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 11:09, 26 December 2013 (EST)
:The only argument I see from the other side is that it "fits" her better, which is a mostly subjective rather than objective reasons to change her picture, and therefore cannot be disputed with valid arguments. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 11:35, 26 December 2013 (EST)
 
==Deciding Rosalina's Infobox Picture==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|11-8|Image 1}}
Recently, we have a slight edit war concerning Rosalina's infobox picture. Apparently, some of us are fine with the way she looks in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' picture, otherwise, some of us want to change it because they see nothing wrong with it and besides, updating it to meet current games. I would like to stop this ridiculous edit war once and for all and settle this....like men (and women).
 
Here are the two images:
<gallery>
Princess Rosalina Super Mario Galaxy.png|Image 1
Rosalina Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|Image 2
</gallery>
 
Which one do you think should represent Rosalina in the infobox?
 
*'''Proposer''': {{User|Baby Luigi}}
*'''Deadline''': January 9, 2014, 23:59 GMT
 
===Image 1===
#{{User|Icemario11}} This image actually captures Rosalina's wand, something the other image does not.
#{{User|MeritC}} Per Icemario11, plus other higher ups also stated in their editing summaries/reasonings that it still represents Rosalina's overall personality well.
#{{User|Yoshi876}} Per the reasons stated in reversions for this image being kept.
#{{User|KP}} Per all.
#{{User|LeftyGreenMario}} The latter image is more recent, but I prefer the former image because it captures her calm, reserved personality better. Plus, there are no particle effects around her, so it's generally a better image to illustrate her in my opinion.
#{{User|YoshiKong}} &ndash; The policy on {{tem|character infobox}} clearly states that ''"if the latest artwork is specialized for that game (i.e. the character's wearing sporting gear, driving a kart, etc.), an older image may be retained as the infobox image instead."'' The latter Rosalina artwork is specialized for ''SM3DW'', and wouldn't be suitable for illustrating her character as a whole...
#{{User|Whisperstar13}} My words have pretty much been spoken by others already - I just think that when she's a playable character in a game, they need to add more of a personality to her, one that branches off from the one she displays in her original game...If the purpose of the infobox image is to portray her overall character, I think ''Super Mario Galaxy'' would be better.
#{{User|Skittles}} Second one doesn't represent the character. I've already made quite a few points below in the comments.
#{{User|Mario4Ever}} Per YoshiKong.
#{{User|driftmaster130}} Per all
#{{User|Gonzales Kart Inc.}} Per all.
 
===Image 2===
#{{User|SeanWheeler}} Most recent.
#{{User|Tails777}} Per SeanWheeler and Aokage's comment above. Mario's artwork for NSMBW shows more of Mario and in a standard way, but we changed it over time. This artwork does show off some of Rosalina's abilities too if that counts for anything.
#{{User|SuperYoshiBros}} Per SeanWheeler.
#{{User|Aokage}} Per my comment in the above section.
#{{User|1337star}} Per all.
#{{User|Randombob-omb4761}} Per SeanWheeler.
#{{User|MarioYoshi2}} per all.
#{{User|GoofyfanG56}} The artwork looks more crisp and beautiful than the SMG artwork. Plus it's more recent.
 
===Comments===
@MeritC I suggest you use your own judgement rather than what "higher ups" say. What I mean is, of course, that you shouldn't let others wholly decide your decisions, but what they could say might be the same as what you might think. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 15:31, 26 December 2013 (EST)
 
There should be no proposal here. The infoboxes are supposed to show the most recent of the character - in this case, her 3D World artwork. --{{User:SuperYoshiBros/sig}} 17:43, 26 December 2013 (EST)
:Well, if there shouldn't be as proposal, there shouldn't be an edit war either. The infobox states the "A representative image of the character - ideally, artwork from the most recently released game." with no clear-cut definition on what "representative" really means, since it's subjective. It also states "ideally" as well, which means exceptions may apply. I don't think people fighting over this constantly is gonna solve anything (I don't care who has more weight in decisions) so I think the most fair way to resolve this is to make a TPP to stop this. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 18:20, 26 December 2013 (EST)
::"Representative" means not packing sports equipment or busting some out-of-character breakdancing moves or whatever ("specialized for that game", in the guideline). Rosalina's lack of wand isn't enough to make the SM3DW art non-representative, and the "ideally" isn't meant to make this debatable, but to acknowledge that sometimes there ''isn't'' any up-to-date (or any at all) artwork free of non-standardness. That guideline was spelled out with the express purpose of ''avoiding'' these sorts of edit wars and TTPs: it was an executive decision based on discussions and previous proposals, and while it's on a template, rather than a policy page, it ''is'' policy and it should be followed. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 20:15, 26 December 2013 (EST)
:::Apparently this time the guideline didn't work as intended as people ''still'' tried changing this despite that added tag. Still, I can see the entire "representative" argument on both sides: Rosalina isn't really acting out of character in this picture nor is she doing any sort of specialized task (well, not as obvious as say, her next to her kart or holding equipment), so that's why people, who often have different views on specifically this, can get confused. I honestly don't see what's wrong with a TPP being created for this purpose, as it can clarify positions and let people present their sides of the argument on why they feel the Super Mario 3D World is also representative as well or why the Galaxy artwork is better. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 22:08, 26 December 2013 (EST)
 
@YoshiKong How is this representative of Super Mario 3D World only? I don't see her driving a kart or anything of the like. --{{User:SuperYoshiBros/sig}} 15:10, 27 December 2013 (EST)
:The Star Spin, her energetic/happy expression, and the lack of her wand. {{User:Skittles/sig}}
 
::So? She will do the spin in Super Smash Bros. 4. And what's wrong with her being happy? And maybe her wand is in her pocket. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 20:23, 28 December 2013 (EST)
 
:::She's happy and she has a star spin. So if Mario can't jump in a certain game we can't use artwork of him jumping? --{{User:SuperYoshiBros/sig}} 22:14, 28 December 2013 (EST)
::::Except in my reasons, Mario's jumping doesn't release particle effects that surrounds him. Same reason we don't use artwork of him star spinning. {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 12:36, 29 December 2013 (EST)
 
::Actually, I think the reason we don't use him Star Spinning is because it's not in his most recent artwork. And he only does it in the Galaxy games. Rosalina not only does the Star Spin in 3D World, but in  Super Smash Bros. And the Star Spin attack is a reference to her first appearance. [[Fire Mario]] has a particle effect in his infobox. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 21:58, 29 December 2013 (EST)
:::No. We don't use him star spinning because it's not representative of him. Mario jumps in practically every game, aside from spin-offs, and his happy expression and jump represent him well, just like Rosalina's calm, idle pose in the SMG art. It has nothing to do with particles. Fire Mario throws fire, why would we not have a picture of him throwing fire on his infobox? Also, Smash Bros. is not a good example of character personalities and traits, because it's a fighting game. You throw in people like Peach, Rosalina, Zelda, Mr. G&W, etc., none of whom are people that go out and fight others. It's not in their character to act that way, however, as it is a spin-off, that's acceptable, but we don't base characters off games like that if it differs from their mainstream personalities (unless in Daisy, Waluigi, Toadette, etc.'s cases, they only appear in spin-offs).
 
:::Back on the topic of the picture, if I had it my way, I would use the one used in MKW/MK7/MKAGPDX, as it is very similar to SMG's, but more recent. Still representative of her, even without the wand. {{User:Skittles/sig}}
 
::The Mario Kart artwork has her standing next to a kart. Not that good of a candidate. Even if we take the photos we already have without the kart, I don't think we should have half-artwork in an infobox. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 07:58, 30 December 2013 (EST)
:::However, the ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'' artwork does have her without the kart, so it should count as official artwork, seeing as many ''MKW'' characters' artworks became their ''Super Sluggers'' artwork. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 21:22, 30 December 2013 (EST)
:::Why on Earth would you think I meant the images with karts, especially after I made arguments about pictures not being representative of characters? Like MarioComix said, solo artwork of her was released for Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, and is not in anyway "half-artwork". {{User:Skittles/sig}}
 
::::In Fire Mario's case, you need the fire particle effects to demonstrate Fire Mario's ability: to shoot fire (duh). The Star Spin Rosalina demonstrates, on the other hand, has particle effects that shouldn't be shown as the main picture in Rosalina's article, thus making it unnecessary and immediately making it the less representative picture of Rosalina compared to her Galaxy artwork. <br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 16:23, 1 January 2014 (EST)
::::Assuming that Super Mario Galaxy is the most recent game, we still would use other Mario artwork rather than Mario Star Spinning because, again, no particle effects.<br> {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 16:26, 1 January 2014 (EST)
 
::Smash Wiki uses the Super Mario 3D World artwork. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 11:04, 4 January 2014 (EST)
:::We're not Smash Wiki, and as Rosalina hasn't appeared before in the Smash series it makes sense for them to use a more recent image for her so people know who she is. {{User|Yoshi876}}

This can't be ruled out as I haven't found any evidence of her presence within the new future game (i.e clothes, accessories, personal belongings, etc.). Just because there are references to Super Mario Galaxy in the game doesn't means she might actually make an appearance. In this case i.e, Galaxy Arena from Mario Tennis Open.

When I played ''Mario Party: Island Tour'', I don't remember Rosalina speaking at all.

So, I know that lots of users had proposed that, but once again I will propose it: Move Rosalina's page to ''"Princess Rosalina"''. I would say that because she '''is a princess''', and I'm not saying this because of her crown or even her dress. Her Super Mario Galaxy's bio states:{{br}}"Not much is known about Rosalina, the lonely princess who wanders the cosmos in the Comet Observatory, a giant starship that travels the celestial expanse. She is a great friend of the Luma, taking them in and caring for them as if they were her children. But there is a sadness behind her eyes. What has she lost out among the stars?"
 
Also her Mario Kart 8's bio (that is shared with Pink Gold Peach bio)states:{{br}}"Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach. Hit the road as a bouncing baby princess or a metallic mystery woman!"

:MK8, because she did actually appear in World Tour since it was out. You can clearly see her in Toads booth. Therefore her latest is still MK8. - {{User:Ninelevendo/sig}} 03:20, 19 June 2014 (EDT)
 
== MGWT Voice (AGAIN) ==
 
Hello , i've been changing the credits for Rosalina's VA In MGWT like , 2 times at least to credit Kerri Kane but someone keeps changing it to Laura Faye. Is kinda annoying since not only her voice is clearly Kerri's during gameplay , but in Kerri's website she officially states that she voiced Rosalina in MGWT .
Link :  http://www.kerrikane.com/
 
Click on the ''about'' section and it says ''I’ve played the part of a fast kart-racing princess for Nintendo in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX and a pretty powerful golfer in Mario Golf: World Tour''
 
also imdb is a pretty bad site to search info , since it's not always right. [[User:Swifite Muggle|Super Starbits]]
 
:They now both have it, as Ninvelendo said "Her voice clips are identical to MK7, but she has some new Laura clips.", and I believe he may be correct. {{User:Misty/sig}} 21:06, 25 June 2014 (EDT)
 
IDK if that's the case or if there's a proof of that but i think is kinda bad to not to credit Kerri in Rosalina's page for it at all since in any of the cases MOST of the voice clips are hers and not ''Laura's '' (Yes , she has some new voice clips as well , but they are problably unused clips for MK7) It would be odd that they used both voices when Laura was pretty much available at the time , meaning that is she actually did some voice clips for Rosalina , then Why she did not do her full voice? or why they did not recycle her SM3DWorld Voice Clips for example ; The only time i knew they did something like that was with Princess Peach in SMB Brawl and Mario And Sonic and The Olympic Winter Games (Ds version) where they used Jen Taylor's , ''sweet'' and ''oh did i win?'' Voice clips respectively , but it was only 1 voice clip for each game.[[User:Swifite Muggle|Super Starbits]]
 
:You still should credit both because I would get a bit annoyed if they reused my voice clip and didn't credit me. Oh, and you can trust Ninelevendo (that's how you spell it); he's a competent, good faith editor. {{User:Mario/sig}} 21:35, 25 June 2014 (EDT)
::I know , there´s no problem and i trust completely in all the people that can bring some info. Also ,like we said ,  Rosalina has some new voice clips (that were not in MK7 at all) so there's the possibility that Laura did something for that , but since it sounds so much Like Kerri (even got the echo back in all the voice clips) then you'd think is just Her , but it's fine . On a final note , i hope they stick with Laura's voice + Echo since that suits Rosalina better nowadays.
 
Edit: I just watched a Princess Peach gameplay and she has some Mario Power Tennis Voice Clips, so the theory that they mixed both  recycled and new clips from Different VA Seems to be pretty accurate , just for you to know.[[User:Swifite Muggle|Super Starbits]]
 
: FYI IMDB has corrected their page as of today to reflect that Kerri Kane's voice clips are in fact those used in MGWT. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2965774/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1  [[User:fkane|fkane]]

::Oh right, you said so in your summary. Well then, case closed. Actually, I could've picked that up by reading it. - {{User:Ninelevendo/sig}} 18:07, 1 July 2014 (EDT)
 
:::Yep, she was talking about additional recordings that she did.

==Is she peaches sister==
There is not alot of evidence, But of what evidence there is i would presume she is rosalina toadstool first daughter of the king and queen of the mushroom kingdom. I would not even try and speculate how they died but didn't toadsworth end up caring for peach through most her childhood, It might explain why rosalina knows more than peach about their parents, so maybe it was complications through childbirth although this is a extremely long stretch with no backing evidence whatsoever, But for me this theory is very conclusive even with as little evidence there is it just seems to make sense, its a strong a connection although nothing official has really been said on the matter the one the main thing is those earrings that rosalines mother wore obviously they were passed down to peach as a sorta family heirloom, also peach is inexperienced she was thrust rather abruptly into the role she is in. {{unsigned|94.14.123.173}}

== ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' voice actor issue ==
 
I've gotten word that Rosalina's voice clips for ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' were done by Kerri Kane. Either Nintendo lied to us about Laura Faye Smith being Rosalina's voice actor, or some voice clips simply got reused. For the source of this information, go [http://smashboards.com/threads/324285/page-71#post-17532716 here]. {{User:M&amp;SG/sig}} 07:29, 11 September 2014 (EDT)
:From the leaked livestreams, I was able to catch a glimpse of a voice actor credit for "Kerry Kane". I'm pretty sure they meant Kerri Kane. Also, her voice clips DO sound very similar to some from ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', such as when she hits the ball and says, "Yah!", as well as in ''MK7'' when she falls off the track.

==Decide Rosalina artwork==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|vetoed}}
 
My proposal is simple: to decide what artwork should be used for Rosalina in her infobox at the top of the page. In a previous TPP, it was decided to use her ''Super Mario Galaxy'' (SMG) artwork, but it has been changed to her artwork from ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'' (MK). However, the artwork should be from her ''Super Mario Galaxy'' appearance for many reasons, the first having to do with technical aspects of the picture; the MK artwork has a white background, so Rosalina inside a white box inside a light green box, which looks unprofessional and slapped together; in her SMG artwork, however, there is no background. The second is that she is holding a wand in her SMG artwork, and the artwork for each character is to show his/her aspects and personality, so the wand shows readers at a first glance that she has some magical or mysterious aspect to her without reading a word of the article. She is also always depicted with this everywhere except in the ''Mario Kart'' series, due to the fact that she must drive with both hands. The last reason why her SMG artwork should be used is that SMG is a much more recognized and bigger game than MK: SMG has been release in almost every territory where the Wii is sold and has even become a Nintendo Select, whereas MK is an arcade game in Japan (and possibly the US, though even that is unsure); the MarioWiki article for SMG is also far more extensive than it is for MK, making SMG the definitive game. For all of these reasons, Rosalina's artwork for ''Super Mario Galaxy'' should be used for her infobox.

===Support (''Super Mario Galaxy artwork'')===
#{{User|Mario7}} Per proposal. Also I think her SMG artwork looks better.
#{{User|Madz the Penguin}} Mario Kart GP DX was in America, I think. I think I saw it at an arcade or something. However, Rosalina is recognized by fans to be a princess of the Lumas, not a princess driving in a kart. We could either use her original artwork OR we could use her SSB4 artwork, because both represent Rosalina in a really popular game.
#{{User|Toadbrigade5}} @Mario7: That was quite a long TPP for something kinda obvious. Per all.
#{{User|3D Player 2004}} per all.
 
===Oppose (''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'' artwork)===
#{{User|Yoshi876}} Personally, I think the current image is fine. I see no issue with the white box, it still looks fine, and doesn't make the image look bad. And Rosalina's personality is more of a calm, mysterious person rather than a magical person which the current image demonstrates fine. And so what if ''Super Mari Galaxy'' is the "definitive game"? The infobox is not a popularity contest and so therefore "genre" has no baring on what goes in there. And why reference the previous TPP? Just because we decided on it that it should be kept then, doesn't mean it has to remain that way for all eternity. And to my final point in this, [[:Template:character infobox|policy]], which says "A representative image of the character - ideally, artwork from the most recently released game.", as previously said in this argument the current image is representative of her personality, if it wasn't then we wouldn't have kept that change since May, and also seeing as Arcade is more recent that Galaxy it fits that point as well.
#{{User|River Piranha}} Per Yoshi876. The image should be from a recent game to keep the page looking fresh.
#{{User|Baby Luigi}} Per -censored because of character-876
#{{User|BabyLuigi64}} Per <s>all</s> Yoshi876. MKAGPDX has the most recent acceptable artwork and therefore it's used instead.
#{{User|TNM}} Per Yoshi876.
#{{User|Boo4761}} This image is the most recent and is acceptable for the infobox, per all.
 
===Comments===
 
It may just be me, but I think this has as much worth as a full-on proposal as [[Talk:Bowser Jr.#change the image.|this one.]] {{User:BabyLuigi64/sig}}
:You would think, but there is a user who thinks not and kept reverting my edits, so here I am. {{User:Mario7/Sig}} 13:28, 9 November 2014 (EST)
::BL64, I think this is actually more meritable for the proposal than the other one. At least the appearance of this Rosalina in a more obscure game for an infobox picture is a bit more debatable than the Bowser Jr. one. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 13:58, 9 November 2014 (EST)
:::Oh, okay. {{User:BabyLuigi64/sig}}
::::If you think "obscurity" actually means something here, which it doesn't. See my argument below. {{User:Mario/sig}} 14:24, 9 November 2014 (EST)
 
'''@Madz the Penguin:''' The actual accepted fact is that Rosalina is ''not'' a princess. More like a parental figure or guardian. {{User:BabyLuigi64/sig}}
 
Hold on: if the policy says that the image from the most recent game is preferred, why not cropping the Luma and putting just Rosalina? It's already done [[:File:SSB4_Rosalina_edited.png|here]] and she's calm enough to reflect her personality, unlike the SM3DW artwork. Also, updated dress (not that it matters much though). {{User:Tsunami/sig}}
:Probably because like it says in the file name, it's been edited. That image is fanmade and thus it should not be used on a main series page. {{User|Yoshi876}}
 
Some of your arguments here:
 
*''"However, the artwork should be from her Super Mario Galaxy appearance for many reasons, the first having to do with technical aspects of the picture; the MK artwork has a white background, so Rosalina inside a white box inside a light green box, which looks unprofessional and slapped together; in her SMG artwork, however, there is no background."''
 
Another thing: the Super Mario Galaxy artwork is much higher resolution than the other artwork. This is the strongest point the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' artwork is going for. Even in the article itself, the lower resolution shows, and the .jpg compression of the artwork makes it even more glaring.
 
*''"The second is that she is holding a wand in her SMG artwork, and the artwork for each character is to show his/her aspects and personality, so the wand shows readers at a first glance that she has some magical or mysterious aspect to her without reading a word of the article. She is also always depicted with this everywhere except in the Mario Kart series, due to the fact that she must drive with both hands."''
 
This isn't really relevant. Rosalina is seen frequently with her wand, without her wand. You're forgetting a major player here: ''Super Mario 3D World''. Also, Rosalina doesn't really use her wand aside from Mario Golf: World Tour and Super Smash Bros.. While establishing impressions are important, Rosalina's design already does a pretty good job at showcasing the calm, collected, somewhat mysterious and magical space lady <s>like Ms. Frizzle</s>.
 
*''"The last reason why her SMG artwork should be used is that SMG is a much more recognized and bigger game than MK: SMG has been release in almost every territory where the Wii is sold and has even become a Nintendo Select, whereas MK is an arcade game in Japan (and possibly the US, though even that is unsure); the MarioWiki article for SMG is also far more extensive than it is for MK, making SMG the definitive game. For all of these reasons, Rosalina's artwork for Super Mario Galaxy should be used for her infobox."''
 
This argument is invalid. We use artwork that illustrates the character best, not artwork that's derived from a more popular game. Mario Party artwork has been chosen over Mario platformer artwork a few times. Finally, the artwork is technically not derived from an obscure game, unless you deem Mario Kart obscure. Yes, this artwork is directly ripped from the Mario Kart 7 "artwork", so any argument regarding "obscurity" is moot. {{User:Mario/sig}} 14:24, 9 November 2014 (EST)
 
 
There's an official policy on what art infoboxes should use, [[Talk:Bowser_Jr.#Comments_3|and as I said last time a TPP happened anyway]], and less forcefully [[Talk:Rosalina#Comments_3|last time it happened here]], the fact that it's written on [[Template:character infobox]] rather than a policy/help page, and the fact that people don't always read very specific instructions, ''don't'' make it optional. The rule is:
 
<blockquote>''A representative image of the character - ideally, artwork from the most recently released game. However, if the latest artwork is specialized for that game (i.e. the character's wearing sporting gear, driving a kart, etc.), an older image may be retained as the infobox image instead. Note that the infobox cannot be updated while a game is still upcoming: it can only be changed after the game is released.''</blockquote>
 
The ''MKAGPDX'' is the most recent art and it's not specialized: she's not driving a kart or chillin' with Pac-Man or anything, just looking regal as always, making it a pretty unquestionably representative image. What game it came from really doesn't matter. There's nothing to discuss here, much less vote on, so in the interest of trying to end the cycle of TPPs that shouldn't exist in the first place, I'm cancelling this one right now. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:33, 9 November 2014 (EST)
 
== Suggesting a small note regarding Rosalina's weight difference between Mario Kart and Smash Bros. ==
 
Currently, in the Smash Bros. section, it is stated that "Rosalina is a very lightweight fighter. In fact, she's one of the lightest fighters in the game, only being heavier than Kirby, Mr. Game & Watch, and Jigglypuff."
I was going to suggest adding the following;
"Interestingly, this contrasts with her appearances in the Mario Kart series, where she is placed in the heavy weight class."
Or something along those lines, anyway. --[[User:H Hog|H Hog]] ([[User talk:H Hog|talk]]) 03:38, 3 February 2015 (EST)
 
--No , because ,:
 
Rosalina is only in the HEAVY weight class in Mario Kart , because , much like WALUiGI , she is one of the tallest characters , not one of the fattest like Bowser . Wario and such. Taller people , by logic , need more legroom in vehicles and that's why Rosalina and Waluigi use larger vehicles and subsequently end up in a Large weight class. Her actual WEIGHT is accurate in Smash , and there's no relation between it and her Class in Mario Kart since she is just Tall and doesn't weight anymore than she does in Smash.--[[User:Swiftie Luma|Swiftie Luma]] ([[User talk:Swiftie Luma|talk]]) 17:35, 17 February 2015 (EST) 17:35, 17 February 2015 (EST)~~
 
== An inspiration? ==
 
I think Rosalina kinda inspired Disney to make the movie Frozen. Queen Elsa seems to slightly ressemble Rosalina. Also, Rosalina's Ice World, from Mario Kart 7, is quite similar to some places seen on Frozen. Frozen also features some things that are similar to Sherbet Land from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.
As a conclusion, I think Frozen is slightly inspired by Mario games.

:It was inspired by [[wikipedia:The Snow Queen|a fairy tale]] (even if the final product has nothing in common with the original story).

What kind of outfit is she wearing in this game? I can't determine this, because it looks like a cross between her dress from Super Mario Galaxy and her tennis dress from Mario Tennis Ultra Smash.

Its as if the whole outfit needs to be put on and removed when changing. Any answers?--[[Special:Contributions/70.79.230.57|70.79.230.57]] 07:19, 31 December 2015 (EST)

Add images aswell.
 
== "Princess" Status ==
So, apparently there's some debate over whether or not Rosalina is actually classified as a princess. Prima guides seem to be the only source of information, even though the information they put out is finicky at best. ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''{{'}}s trading card bio is the only thing close to official that I can find that actually refers to her as a "princess".
 
Most other games and bios call her with other names like a "mysterious woman", "Mother of the Lumas", or the "Cosmic Guardian". Not once does any game actually call her a princess in the game itself, so would any of these titles fit better instead? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:28, 3 May 2017 (EDT)

In case you are wondering, both the {{file link|EncyclopediaSMB - Characters pt2.jpg|Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.}} and [[List of Rosalina profiles and statistics#Kids section of Nintendo Co., Ltd. site|the bio on the Kids section]] [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/kids/character/rosetta/index.html of NCL's site] confirm that she's a ''mysterious woman'', which is also what is stated [[List of Rosalina profiles and statistics#Flag Description (Wii U version)|in her bio in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]], with Mario Party Star Rush [[Character Museum#Character bios|calling her a ''mysterious lady'']] as well, just like [[List of Rosalina profiles and statistics#Miis' Dialogues (Wii U version)|one of the Miis' dialogues in the aformentioned Mario & Sonic game]]. The PRIMA guide is according to the policy a valid source and we cannot alter that without changing the Wiki policy altogether, but her being a princess is not stated in current bios. That this is another change in her depiction or just a mistake introduced at the time for various reasons such as her wearing a tiara is something we will have to clarify by looking at various Japanese bios, but for the moment I guess we can change the full name while still stating that according to the PRIMA guide and the Mario Kart 8 Direct she is a princess - we shouldn't remove the references just because they don't fit the current bios in my opinion.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 18:09, 3 May 2017 (EDT)
:No, I'm not saying we should remove the references; they are valid according to policy. I'm just trying to find an agreement: What should we classify Rosalina as? Official bios seem to stay away from the "princess" motif for the most part, so Prima is really the best we got in that sense. If we go off of in-game or Nintendo's official bios, "mysterious lady" or "Cosmic Guardian" are the best titles so far.
:Honestly, I think the tiara/crown/whatever-that-is is a leftover from her initial design, when she was originally made out to be related to [[Princess Peach]] in some way, and I guess the devs just liked it as part of her character. Considering her relations to any other character was dropped, it makes Rosalina look like she's just trying to copy the other princesses. :P {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:26, 3 May 2017 (EDT)
::''Mysterious lady'' and ''mysterious woman'' are indeed the official titles most frequently used in recent material, including Japanese bios, so we won't do wrong usign them, ''Cosmic Guardian'' seems to be used less and less, last being seen in ''Mario Kart 8''. Of course, since the PRIMA guide of ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' recycled the bios, this means that her most recent bio considers her as such ;-). I'd personally go with the former titles, though, which are consistent with Japanese bios.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 20:30, 3 May 2017 (EDT)

:::::It's really the title in her infobox that's being called into question. Any instance of "princess" should probably be removed anyway (outside of bios), considering there isn't really that solid of a source to go off of.
:::::Additionally, I thought this should be noted but I don't want to go too far into a Game Theory, Rosalina's mother also has a crown, which you can faintly see in [[:File:Ch4 1.png|her storybook image]].

:::::::If she's a princess, then why aren't other characters like Wart, who also wear a crown, called King Wart? And what about Bowser's case?

:::::::That is just speculation. This wiki is known to be very strict when it comes to theories and speculations.

Until then we should call her just "Rosalina" and nothing else, including "Mysterious Woman". --[[User:CastleResearch|CastleResearch]] ([[User talk:CastleResearch|talk]]) 15:09, 4 May 2017 (EDT)
::::::::That's a little much. Neglecting to show her title when she clearly has one is probably worse than not calling her anything at all.

::::::::"Mysterious Woman" is more of a nickname than a title, Pauline's nickname was "Lady" in older Mario games and is no longer used.

:::::::::Technically, Nintendo currently doesn't give any title to Rosalina, with ''mysterious woman'' being her description (a similar case is that of Wendy being defined as the only girl among the Koopalings). It goes without saying that with her being mysterious, no title is currently given. At this point I'd leave the infobox without full name adding either in the introduction, in the General Information section or in the trivia that she has been stated to be a princess.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]])
::::::::::Yeah, okay, the title isn't exactly official. I've been typing it here as a proper noun, but that is rarely the case in games and bios. We can leave the information to the GI or trivia. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:55, 4 May 2017 (EDT)
:Since Prima is an official source (it's a tertiary source, but it still counts), I'm going to object to any instances of "princess" being removed unless there's a source from Nintendo that directly contradicts that. However, as being a princess isn't something that's been consistently reaffirmed, I'm fine with her simply being called "Rosalina" in the info box. Also, using "mysterious lady" as a title is odd when it's never used as a title for her, and I agree with CastleResearch on this point. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 01:26, 5 May 2017 (EDT)
::I'll give my two cents to the discussion seeing as how I was the one who added it...
::The main point of contention with this seems to stem from the fact that two references listed in the infobox come from Prima Games material. I'm not unaware that Prima has a certain stigma, but Nintendo Power honestly wasn't ''that'' much better in my opinion (it can be quite the opposite in some cases, I'd say). Moreover, Prima happens to be our source for the concept image and accompanying details used in the development section - and we may have never known ''any'' of that valuable information if it weren't for them. We do owe them for that. We've also got a ''Mario Kart Wii'' trading card calling her a princess, as well as both the ''Mario Kart 8'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20140430173237/http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/drivers/ website] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbuJZP0_8iQ&t=11m51s Nintendo Direct] calling Baby Rosalina (and by extension Rosalina) one - also apparently recycled in the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' guide - not to mention called as such by one of the voice actresses herself (who ''should'' know the characters she's voicing) on her own [https://web.archive.org/web/20140517192431/http://www.kerrikane.com/ website,] none of which have absolutely anything to do with Prima. Those are all the instances that I'm aware, but there may be more. We can speculate ''why'' they each said this when she is just Rosalina, but at the end of the day, suggesting that they ''all'' happened to be misinformed is assuming too much.
::On the other hand... Admittedly, you can clearly see that technically ''one'' of those sources ''explicitly'' calls her by the full title "Princess Rosalina" (the ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' guide), with the other two only ''describing'' her as a princess for support (similar to what was arranged for the "Princess Peach Toadstool" infobox). So, if there's any grounds for removing it from the infobox, I suppose you could argue it's a one-off [[MarioWiki:Naming#Name_changes|naming error]] and leave it at that, which appears to be the thesis here. As far as the references themselves are concerned, they are valid and, if anything is to be done, ought to be moved to a trivia footnote rather than entirely removed. As was mentioned, we have policies in place to prevent official information from getting lost (however "low-end"), regardless of whether or not one personally doesn't consider it official ''enough''. It's a part of the character history, "current story" or not. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 02:10, 5 May 2017 (EDT)
:::Ok, sorry if I wasn't clear. I am absolutely against stating that PRIMA guides, Nintendo Power or official website aren't a valid source. We definitely must state that Rosalina was considered a princess. That being said, full name in the infobox contains official names from Nintendo, not really added descriptions or names derived from past depictions (e.g. we don't call Ludwig von Koopa ''baron'' in the full name even if the Nintendo Power guide of Super Mario Bros. 3 states that, nor do we call him ''His Evilness Ludwig von Koopa'' - the latter being a title used in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' - as those titles are added to the actual full name). The official Super Mario Galaxy 2 guide's citation seems to be the same case as Ludwig so I don't know if it would count. Of course, it might also be that NOA was given the feedom to consider Rosalina a princess, which would then complicate matters even more. If that was the case, should we follow the NOA depiction?--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 11:34, 5 May 2017 (EDT)
:::::::I think we should put the "princess" bit in the trivia section and remove her full name, because she really doesn't have any. I still don't understand why she isn't called Princess Rosalina in-game at least once. All references to "princess" are outside the games and that's where the problem arises, Peach and Daisy have been called Princess before their name several times in the games themselves but Rosalina not even once. At this point until we have actual confirmation we should settle this with votes.--[[User:CastleResearch|CastleResearch]] ([[User talk:CastleResearch|talk]]) 11:06, 5 May 2017 (EDT)
:: My take on this: What actually bothers me is that many take the smallest piece of ''evidence'' of the ''Rosalina is a princess'' claim as the most powerful part of this and that just does not make any sense. What i mean is that , she gets called that in a Prima guide a few times and we take that as ''the most relevant'' while completely ignoring the countless times Rosalina has been clearly described as anything but that in the actual games and most media? That's really messy to me as what would matter is what most articles and piece of info say about the character , not just a couple. There's a consistency in Rosalina being refered as a ''Cosmic protector'' ''Mother of the lumas'' ''Mysterious woman'' etc. whatever while there's no real consistency into calling her a princess , there's really none , someone just threw that in there and then Nintendo continues to avoid refering as her as a Princess. Notice how Peach and Daisy are always refered as such in all kinds of media , but not Rosalina. I wouldn't use Baby Rosalina as an argument either because we can argue she does not even relate to what Rosalina in the Galaxy games has described , that character alone has several inconsistencies so i would not take her for anything. Rosalina's full name will always be Rosalina , no matter what the box says because there's no actual conection to the Princess title for her , there's literally no solid explanation to why to use that. Princess of what kingdom? There's none. So even though the box says otherwise , most media does not agree with this whatsoever , and that's what should be considered , not the ''minor'' evidence.--[[User:Swiftie Luma|Swiftie Luma]] ([[User talk:Swiftie Luma|talk]]) 00:44, 6 May 2017 (EDT)

I have an idea - since this discussion primarily spawned from the infobox at the front of the article, why not address the implementation directly? Would anyone be opposed to removing the full name part of the wiki's infoboxes entirely? The vast majority of the time, it's merely a restatement of the above heading and article title, so it's mostly repetitive; the only noteworthy exceptions seem to be either a holdover from an earlier time and may or may not be "current story" relevant (ie. Peach and Bowser) or something that changes depending on who and when you ask (ie. Mario and Luigi). This way, the Princess Rosalina references still get mentioned in the appropriate section as it should, but it doesn't go beyond that and there's no debate about what we think the full name should actually be.

For your information, the ''Super Mario Official Sticker Book'' page 43 shows the text "Princess Power Trio!" and it has Rosalina, Peach, and Daisy. This points to Rosalina's status being a princess as well as Baby Rosalina's tagline. It's no longer Prima now. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 00:33, 28 August 2018 (EDT)
:Prima also wasn't involved in the ''Mario Kart 8'' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbuJZP0_8iQ&t=11m51s Nintendo Direct] and [https://imgur.com/a/ReseX ''Deluxe'' website], or the time Rosalina's voice actress called her a princess on her [https://web.archive.org/web/20140517192431/http://www.kerrikane.com/ own website] (albeit not its current revision). Still, with the ''Super Mario Official Sticker Book'' being as recent as this year, it seems pretty clear that Nintendo is still allowing Rosalina to be referred to as a princess, and so "Princess Rosalina" should remain as her full name unless Nintendo changes their mind and makes a directly contradicting statement. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 16:15, 28 August 2018 (EDT)
::One thing is that the ''Super Mario Official Sticker Book'' is an "officially Nintendo-licensed" book published by Random House. They also published the ''Mario Time'' book. Just like Prima, there are some errors or inaccuracies. For example, Yoshi's residence is "unknown" and Bowser's residence is also "unknown" in the ''Mario Time'' book. - {{User:Infinite8/sig}} 05:09, 29 August 2018 (EDT)
:::There might be some inconsistencies but I'd apply Occam's Razor here as it's an explicit referral and there's no contradicting evidence aside from the more generic referrals to Rosalina (Peach and Daisy aren't always called princesses in their bios either). This is unlike the other inaccuracies which we are sure they are inaccuracies ''because'' of the explicit information against them. You can maybe twist the word "princess" to mean some sort of archetype in the Mario series, but that would be making way too many ad hoc assumptions and not in the spirit of Occam's Razor. I'm not sure why you're bringing up that it's published by a third party, as the other guides are also generally published by third parties (Prima), but since Nintendo has some oversight into their production, this means that it's official material and so it should be examined. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 19:19, 29 August 2018 (EDT)
 
The confusion here arose from an important point: Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Nintendo in Japan) never stated that she's a princess, but rather a ''mysterious woman''. Still, Nintendo of America clearly considered her a princess from the start, reconfirming this in subsequent material. This is yet another issue of regional depictions. For now, sticking with the NA one is fine, I guess, but keep in mind this aspect when dealing with Japanese material or the games.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 17:04, 28 August 2018 (EDT)

:::The mysterious woman thing doesn't exactly contradict referrals that she's a princess. It's a component of Rosalina, it seems. If Rosalina wasn't called a princess at all, and if we're going just by appearance, then yeah, calling her a "princess" wouldn't be much of an argument, since finding evidence just from what's ''not'' being said doesn't make for a strong argument in this case. To try to put arbitrary distinctions that Baby Rosalina is a princess and Rosalina is not because Baby Rosalina isn't consistent with Rosalina's story arc, especially with the stigma Baby Rosalina carries, also doesn't really compel me. That being said, I don't support renaming Rosalina to "Princess Rosalina" either. I do support adding information that suggests she's a princess with evidence being some bios, from being grouped with Peach and Daisy, multiple times. I doubt that if Pauline, if hypothetically she were promoted to marketing toward girls, were grouped with the other women, that group name would still be "Princess Party" or "Princess Power", though. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 19:37, 29 August 2018 (EDT)

Another piece of information. The 3DS app ''[[List of Mario references in Nintendo video games#Swapdoodle|Swapdoodle]]'' has those doodle lessons, where you draw Nintendo characters (which can be purchased from the shop). There is a purchasable Nintendo lesson pack called "Super Mario Princesses and Pals", which features lessons for drawing Peach, Toad, Rosalina, Daisy, Wario, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Kamek, and Birdo. The description says:<br>''"It's the ultimate Super Mario doodle collection! You can learn to draw your favorite characters, such as the <big>Princesses</big> and <big>Donkey Kong</big>! You're invited to join the this huge gathering of Peach, Rosalina, and Daisy, along with Wario, Waluigi, and more!"''<br>I don't know if the "Princesses" part in the description refers to Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina.<br>When taking a Rosalina lesson, Nikki stated that she's a "mysterious girl who travels through space". But in a Daisy lesson, when completed, Nikki will say "Daisy is done! Draw her with Rosalina and Peach for a fun princess party! ☆", which definitely points to Rosalina's status of being a princess. - {{User:Infinite8/sig}} 13:02, 29 August 2018 (EDT)
:I don't think the Swapdoodle lessons are quite explicit in categorizing Rosalina as a princess, but it should be supplementary information on top of the more explicit referrals. That last one should probably seal the deal along with the Sticker Book referral. I feel the potential argument that "it's princesses + Rosalina" is a reach that requires unnecessary assumptions. The other potential argument is that all statements on her princess status are always made when she's grouped with Peach and Daisy, but it's essentially the same "princess archetype" argument that I've deconstructed above. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 19:19, 29 August 2018 (EDT)
 
Other material that classifies Rosalina as a princess is the video “[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z6qYcmlTBoc&pp=ygUOcHJpbmNlc3Mgc3R1ZmY%3D Princess Stuff on Nintendo Switch]” from Nintendo of America’s Youtube channel, where Rosalina is shown as much as Peach and Daisy.

:There’s no denying that Rosalina is considered a princess in North American material, but from what we found so far that doesn’t translate to the title being part of her official name, like in the case of Peach and Daisy. As stated above, this comes from the fact that in Japanese material she’s rather a “mysterious woman”, and as such she isn’t given the “hime” title after the name and her kingdom is never specified either, unlike in the case of Peach and Daisy. So, right now as far as I know the current material doesn’t give a reason to change the page name, we just need to ensure to keep the bit about her being considered a princess in North American material, since this is definitely official.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 04:11, April 17, 2023 (EDT)

== Rosalina's true home ==
Hi, I am aware that there have already been discussions about it, but playing Super Mario Galaxy I realized the existence of numerous evidences showing that Rosalina was born on the initial planet of Gateway Galaxy. In the wiki, Rosalinda's home planet is said to be Earth, because the Star Festival is celebrated every 100 years in the Mushroom Kingdom. And we know that Rosalina visits her home planet every 100 years. In his picture book his home planet is referred to as a tiny blue planet. More precisely, in chapter 7, it is said that on that planet there is a hill dotted with flowers and a terrace on which she looked at the stars as a child. On the initial planet of the Gateway Galaxy there are hills with flowers and a house where the player can enter to return to the comet's observatory. Furthermore, the planet itself is surrounded by a blue light. This does not prove anything, they could be simple concidences. However, in the "Gateway's Purple Coins" mission, Rosalina says: "This planet ... is very dear to me. I was looking forward to visiting this planet with the Lumas every hundred years ..."
Rosalina uses "this" to refer to the planet they are currently on, that is, to the initial planet of the Gateway Galaxy.
Another thing that made me think is the secret video of the 120 Power Stars. In that video, Luma is seen near a rusty spaceship, the same spaceship with which he had fallen on Rosalina's planet. Eventually, when Rosalina enters the home of the planet, she finds herself at the Cometa Observatory. When the Observatory turns into a comet and begins to travel in space, there is a zoom on the initial planet of the Gateway Galaxy. This means that the observatory has been parked there.--[[User:Alternis|Alternis]] ([[User talk:Alternis|talk]]) 10:17, March 27, 2020 (EDT)

On the small platform decorated by an inviting flowerbed is a link back to the Gateway Galaxy—the first planetoid Mario awoke upon after Bowser kidnapped Princess Peach.''[...]''Upon returning to the planetoid, Mario must visit Rosalina atop the small castle. She looks longingly at the heavens. She cares so deeply for the Luma, but there’s a piece of her heart lost among the stars. She has always stopped near this planetoid—her favorite—every 100 years. This time, however, the malicious Bowser halted her journey. Rosalina pledges to keep helping Mario find Princess Peach before she returns to the Comet Observatory, leaving Mario in the company of a playful little red Luma.''" So it at least interprets her line to mean the Gateway Galaxy planet. In the Japanese version, she uses the phrase 「…この<span class="explain" title="ほし">星</span>は」 (''kono hoshi wa'') referring to "this" stellar object, not necessarily a planet.

== Rosalina’s Mom  ==
 
Does anyone have any idea what happened to her [[User:Lizfun145|Lizfun145]] ([[User talk:Lizfun145|talk]]) 16:33, April 3, 2020 (EDT)

== Update the information about Rosalina's Personality ==
 
In Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 Rosalina barely had any emotion and her voice was monotone. But in more recent games her voice is not very monotone, and Rosalina is way more emotional, and the information about her personality looks outdated to me. [[User:Orhoshmand|Orhoshmand]] ([[User talk:Orhoshmand|talk]]) 15:28, August 11, 2020 (EDT)
:I specified that the opening paragraph about her monotone and calm nature was mainly portrayed in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games, and that she's been more energetic since ''Super Mario 3D World''. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 18:04, August 11, 2020 (EDT)
Thank you so much for updating the information. But I also think it's attributable to [[Laura Faye Smith]] who became her voice actor, and as of ''Super Mario 3D World Rosalina also doesn't have echo in her voice. [[User:Orhoshmand|Orhoshmand]] ([[User talk:Orhoshmand|talk]]) 12:27, August 20, 2020 (EDT)
:Yes, it says that before ''Super Mario 3D World'' her voice has a reverberating (echoing) effect. While it's true that she became more energetic ever since Laura Faye Smith voiced her, that's probably since Nintendo gave her new directions when voicing her. Nobody would want to play as a sad-sounding character, especially in a platforming game where you have to jump all over the place, so that's probably why.

== "Princess" Again...from 3D All-Stars ==
 
I guess I'd like to bring up this topic while it's still fresh. While she is officially being referred to as "Princess Rosalina" on the ''Super Mario 3D All-Stars'' website, I still think it's early to move the page to "Princess Rosalina". For one, it's never been used in a game yet, so this could just be another one-off usage. Two, the Japanese site doesn't refer to her as "Rosetta-hime" (translating to "Princess Rosalina"), so it's not like there's been an official change in designation and that she should be classified as a princess. And third, the pages don't necessarily have to use the character's full name, Mario's page isn't "Mario Mario", and Peach's page isn't "Princess Peach Toadstool". Overall, while I think this is a good confirmation of her full name, I don't think it's substantial enough to move her whole page. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 05:41, September 6, 2020 (EDT)
:I agree, there are not enough times where that name is used for it to be the article's title. Maybe if it gets used more often within actual games. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}
::I second this; in my opinion, if the "Princess Rosalina" name is more used in further installments (adventure ones, of course) after this point, that's when I would consider having the page being moved. But no doubt about it that what we've seen from that page should start to finally end this confusing debate. --M.

:::I’ll also add that [https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch/Super-Mario-3D-All-Stars-1832369.html#Overview the UK site] doesn’t name her Princess Rosalina either, so yeah, it’s something exclusive to Nintendo of America. Weird indeed, since for obvious reasons they then couldn’t specify her kingdom like they did with Princess Daisy and Princess Peach.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 08:25, September 6, 2020 (EDT)

[[Rosalina#cite_note-3|One of the sources]] cited in the infobox for Rosalina's "princess" mantle is an [https://imgur.com/a/ReseX Imgur link] to a screenshot of what appears to be the now-unavailable website for the Wii U version of ''Mario Kart 8''. However, all [https://web.archive.org/web/20141015000000*/http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/drivers/ existing snapshots] <small>(web.archive.org)</small> of the website's drivers section, including [https://web.archive.org/web/20171101000000*/http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/wiiu/drivers/ those] <small>(web.archive.org)</small> after the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' site remodelling, show a heading that commands attention to the Koopalings instead of the "Princesses" like in the screenshot. Additionally, I couldn't find any other corner of the website that promotes the game's drivers in a similar fashion. While I'm not really doubting the authenticity of the material in the screenshot (as it shows a patently identical layout and aesthetic to the actual website), I'm wondering if anyone can point to a more convincing archive of it. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:11, April 15, 2022 (EDT)

For right now in that section you can say “While Rosalina has not yet been confirmed to appear, a Rabbid based on her likeness known as Rabbid Rosalina will appear in the game” I am surprised this has not been added yet {{User|35.137.242.245}}

== In Mario Rabbids Sparks Of Hope the heroes are apparently looking for Rosalina  ==
 
In this recent video on the game here (https://youtu.be/rlqV5soG99s) after the Midnite boss fight Beep-0 mentions that they are looking for Rosalina which heavily implies that Rosalina herself will appear in the game at some point. For now can someone please add that detail to the Spark Of Hope section? I would very much appreciate it.{{User|35.137.242.245}}
 
== You can slightly see Rosalina's right eye  ==
 
In this picture, you can see a little bit of Rosalina's right eye, meaning that she is not deliberately covering up her eye as there is nothing wrong with it.

== Rosalina’s Stature at the end of SMG ==
 
This is in regards to the last sentence in Rosalina’s “Physical description” section. Is Rosalina ''physically'' with Mario at the end of Galaxy? The entire scene before he returns home makes it seem like she is speaking to him telepathically or the like. It, at least to me, never felt like the actual statures of Mario or Rosalina were altered from a literal sense. Plus Rosalina has never been shown to alter her size ''without'' the use of an item.{{unsigned|172.56.97.20}}
 
I don’t remember honestly? You could be right. Anyways, I would like to add that Rosalina’s height is pretty much inconsistent from game to game and many users and fans exaggerate it. She was shown to be very tall in Super Mario Galaxy and that carries to Super Smash Bros., but recent games show her to be just a few inches taller than Peach. Also, she floats. That makes her height difficult to estimate. [[User:Wallowigi|Wallowigi]] ([[User talk:Wallowigi|talk]]) 03:54, April 17, 2023 (EDT)
 
== Listing Rosalina's appearance in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|vetoed|The intent of this proposal is based entirely on speculation, which is one thing this wiki does not allow in any way.}}
I think we should list Rosalina's appearance in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. Why? Because she's highly definitely likely to appear. Hint one, the [[Lumalee]] leaked [[McDonald's]] [[Happy Meal]] toy. Hint two, [[Princess Peach]]'s "'''There's a huge universe out there... with a lot of galaxies.'''" line. Hint three, the Lumalee leaked McDonald's toy. Hint four, the Lumalee appearing in the official final trailer. Hint five, Gusty Garden Galaxy music being used. Also, why in the stars would a Lumalee appear without Rosalina? Where's [[Yoshi]], [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], [[Bowser Jr.]], the [[Koopalings]], [[Princess Daisy]], [[Dry Bowser]], [[King K. Rool]], [[Wart]], [[King Boo]], and more? [[User:MarioBobfan2007&#39;snewaccount|MarioBobfan2007&#39;snewaccount]] ([[User talk:MarioBobfan2007&#39;snewaccount|talk]]) 22:40, March 17, 2023 (EDT)}}

====Support====
#{{User|MarioBobfan2007'snewaccount}}. Support. Per proposal.
 
====Oppose====
#{{User|Swallow}} Definitely not until it's properly confirmed she's actually in it; as of now there's no slight hint of it.
#{{User|Shadic 34}} Speculation isn't something this wiki is really keen on, so I'll oppose.
#{{User|MarioComix}} This would count as speculation, and we don't cover that on the wiki. There's currently nothing concrete linking Rosalina to the movie; technically, Lumas can appear without her as a form of world-building - their presence hints at a cosmic side to the Mario universe that could be explored in future movies. (Also, look at games that have Luma without Rosalina, like ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]''.) If there were leaked footage, concept art, or Rosalina's emblems appearing, then it could be brought up, but for now, this is pure speculation.
 
====Comments====
 
== Rosalina’s Korean name ==
 
Rosalina’s Korean name 로젤리나 should be romanized “Rojellina” due to how Korean romanization works. [[User:ArgentuTA164|ArgentuTA164]] ([[User talk:ArgentuTA164|talk]]) 22:22, October 29, 2023 (EDT)
 
== Very powerful figure? (+ Line sticker) ==
 
I'm kind of unsure about the very first phrase in the intro of her article. What does "very powerful figure" actually mean in her case, since Rosalina does not do anything particularly powerful/daysaving in the games she appears in? After all, it’s Mario who does most of the work, and characters like Bowser are shown to have an immense number of resources. I think it would be better to just start the phrase as “Her duty is […]”, which is already descriptive of her role in the series without being potentially biased (I still remember this page being even more POV-ridden, lol…) Plus, I'm confused about the LINE sticker in the personality section… honestly, I don't think it is that indicative of Rosalina's personality, since she is very rarely shown upset, as in the sticker. Of course feel free to tell me if you disagree. This is just a hindsight on my part. {{unsigned|Wallowigi}}
 
:I think it's meant to describe her portrayal in ''Galaxy'' where she seems to have knowledge of how the universe works, and powers that transcend the universe's rebirth (when she appears before Mario much larger than usual). [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 20:50, April 24, 2024 (EDT)
 
::And not only that: she has other powers as well, such as teleportation, use of telepathy, levitation, shields, and using her wand magic, among others. She also watches over and protects the ''entire universe'', which takes a lot of work in itself. Mario only did work for her because Bowser took the Power Stars, so she was literally stranded as the Observatory couldn't go anywhere and she was not powerful enough on her own to defeat Bowser (for many reasons). So I think the description "very powerful figure" (what with her SMG disposition and her supernatural powers) fits Rosalina. And I may love Rosalina, but I am not biased when I say this, I promise. This is all logical. -- {{User:FanOfRosalina2007/sig}} 23:46, June 7, 2024 (EDT)
:::The Line sticker? She doesn't seem upset to me. She just seems like she's making a serious/neutral face that a lot of fashion models do, that can be read as contemptuous or irritated. It's basically a, excuse my language, "{{wp|resting bitch face}}"? {{User:Mario/sig}} 17:18, June 9, 2024 (EDT)
::::I honestly don't know why the Line sticker is in the "Personality and Traits" section, because that's not her personality at all (just look at SMG or pretty much any other game she's in). But I agree, she doesn't seem ''upset'' in the sticker, just serious (and somewhat prideful or haughty...). -- {{User:FanOfRosalina2007/sig}} 22:37, June 9, 2024 (EDT)
