Rosalina's Story: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:40, March 9, 2011

The book's cover.

Rosalina's Storybook is a book in Super Mario Galaxy. It is the story of how Rosalina made it into space and how she became the "mother" of Lumas. In the Comet Observatory's Library, Rosalina sometimes reads from her storybook to her Lumas. Mario can come in to listen to the story. In all, there are nine chapters to read from.

Yoshiaki Koizumi, director of Super Mario Galaxy, was the writer of the storybook. He wrote the script of it, late at night, when no one was around so no one found out about it. The next day, he told Shigeru Miyamoto about the story and presented it to him. Miyamoto was surprised that Yoshiaki wrote the script late at night with nobody around. Yoshiaki Koizumi, in Nintendo Power, mentions that he would enjoy Rosalina's Storybook to get published into a Children's Book. He also mentions that someone at Nintendo has actually done a book of the storybook, but has only made one copy for himself.Template:Fact

The Library, while vacant.

The Library is an area of the Comet Observatory in Super Mario Galaxy. While not technically a Dome, it can be entered. As the player collects Power Stars, chapters of a storybook open up that can be read in the Library. The first time a new chapter is unlocked, Rosalina will be in the Library to read to Mario/Luigi and the Lumas. Afterwards, Mario/Luigi can revisit the Library to reread the story at his leisure. The Library makes a quick appearance in the end of Super Mario Galaxy 2 where Rosalina is reading to the Lumas about the game itself and the Green Power Stars.

The book, while it is never explicitly said, tells the story of Rosalina and how she came to live on the Comet Observatory with the Lumas.

Story

Chapter 1: The Celestial Duo

Our story begins a very, very long time ago with a young girl. One day, this girl spotted a rusted spaceship holding a small star child. "What's your name? Are you lost?" the girl asked the star child. "I'm Luma, and I'm waiting for Mama. She's coming for me on a comet!" said the star child, who had been waiting day and night. "Don't worry. I'll wait with you," the little girl promised Luma. At nightfall, the little girl borrowed her father's telescope and peered into the sky. She looked and looked, but she saw nothing. Hours turned into days and then years, but still the sky revealed nothing. Finally, the little girl sighed and said to Luma, "If we stay here looking much longer, I'll be an old lady soon." But then she had an idea. "Why don't we go out there and find your mother ourselves?" The girl and Luma fixed up the rusty spaceship, and then the two set sail into the starry sky. And this is how the search for the celestial mother began.

Chapter 2: Star Bits

Days passed with no sight of the comet, or even a single planet. Instead, asteroids extended for as far as the eye could see. "If I had known it was going to take this long, I would have packed more jam," said the little girl, above the rumble of her belly. Before they left, she had packed all the essentials: telescope, butterfly net, stuffed bunny, bread, milk, jam, and apricot-flavored tea, but... "I forgot to bring water!" At this, Luma burst into gales of laughter, and the girl began to pout. "As long as I have Star Bits, I'll be fine," said Luma. "Want some?" The little girl couldn't stay mad after hearing this. Luma continued to laugh, and the girl couldn't help but join in. "All right, maybe just a nibble." Leaning far out of the ship, the pair began to collect Star Bits with the girl's net. They almost fell out a few times, but they kept on collecting. The Star Bits tasted like honey.

Chapter 3: The Comet

A beam of light pierced through the ship's window. Thinking it was the morning sun, the girl peered through the window, only to find a turquoise blue comet shimmering at her. The little girl shook the sleeping Luma awake and shouted excitedly, "We HAVE to get to that comet!" The pair descended on the comet and found that it was made of ice. They looked high and low, but Luma's mother was nowhere to be found. Exhausted, the little girl sat down with a flop, utterly unable to take another step. "Look!" Peering down at the icy ground where Luma was pointing, the girl suddenly noticed clusters of Star Bits encased in the ice. "Pretty good, huh? Finding Star Bits is my specialty!" said Luma, beaming. "There's ice here, but it's so warm, I'll bet there's water here too." The two decided to stay on the comet for a while. Riding the turquoise comet, the pair continued their search for Luma's mother.

Chapter 4: The Dream

One night, the girl dreamed about her own mother. "Where are you going?" she asked her mother's retreating back. Without turning, her mother replied, "Don't fret, dearest. I'm not going anywhere. I'm always watching over you, like the sun in the day and the moon in the night." A wave of sadness washed over the girl. "What about when it rains, and I can't see the sun or the moon?" Her mother thought for a moment before responding. "I will turn into a star in the clouds and wait for your tears to dry." When she awoke, the girl's face was damp with tears. "You have Star Bits in your eyes!" said Luma to the girl. Wiping her face, the girl replied, "These are tears, not Star Bits. I'm crying because I'll never see my mother ever again!" At this, Luma began to cry too. "Mama, oh, Mama... waaaah!" The pair traveled through the starry skies, and though they encountered many other comets, not one of them held Luma's mother. Luma was despondent. "Now, now, Luma. The rain clouds won't go away if you keep crying," the girl said, giving Luma a squeeze. "I'll give you a present if you stop." The girl closed her eyes and said gently, "I'll take care of you." With these words, she felt a small spark in her heart.

Chapter 5: Home

"The kitchen will go here, and the library will go over there," the girl said busily to herself. "We'll put the gate here." Ever since the girl took Luma under her care, she'd been bustling about at a feverish pace. "It's a lot of work, but it's worth it to make a happy home." It turned out that Star Bits weren't the only things buried in the ice. There were tools and furniture unlike any they had ever seen, and the girl used them to build a home. Looking at the completed house, Luma remarked, "Don't you think it's awfully big for just the two of us?" With a library, bedroom, kitchen, fountain, and gate, it was certainly spacious, but still, something seemed to be missing. "If only my father, brother, and mother were here," the girl said wistfully. Indeed, the house was too large for its two small residents. That night, clutching her favorite stuffed bunny close to her heart, the girl fell asleep in the starship.

Chapter 6: Friends

Then one day, while the girl sat sipping tea, a tiny apricot-colored planet appeared on the horizon. From the planet, another Luma of the same color emerged. "Do you two know each other?!" the girl asked the two Lumas gleefully. Despite the girl's excitement, they seemed uneasy. The two Lumas neither drew closer nor backed away from each other. Instead, they just stared. Then one Luma broke the silence. "My mama!" At once, the apricot Luma parroted back, "My mama! My mama!" "My mama!" "My mama!" The two Lumas began to dance around the girl frantically, and neither showed any sign of stopping. The girl was so charmed by this adorable scene that she couldn't help but laugh. And that's when something very strange happened. Suddenly, more Lumas began to pop out from the apricot planet. They were different colors, but they all shouted the same thing. "My mama!" "My mama!" The sight of all the shouting Lumas only made the girl laugh harder. "What am I going to do with all these children?!" The Lumas just stared blankly as she doubled over laughing. "I guess we'll have to name each and every one of you." Tomorrow, once she had finished naming them all, she would begin moving all the Lumas into the new house.

Chapter 7: The Telescope

After seeing their 100th comet, a sudden thought popped into the girl's head: "I wonder if my home planet is still as blue as it was." That's when she remembered her father's telescope. Peeking into the telescope, a tiny blue dot floated into sight. It was smaller than a Star Bit. "How strange... It's so far away, but it feels so close." She twisted the knob of the telescope, and the blue dot grew until she could make out a grassy hill dotted with flowers. It seemed very familiar to her. Zooming even closer, a terrace on the hill came into view. "I used to go stargazing there when I lived on my home planet." She remembered rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she followed her father up that hill to look at the stars... She remembered how she and her brother would sled down that hill... She remembered having picnics with her mother on that hill on bright and windy days... And... "I want to go home! I want to go home right now!" The girl burst into tears, and the Lumas didn't know what to do. "I want to go home! I want to go back to my house by the hill! I want to see my mother!" The girl was shouting now, her face wet with tears. "But I know she's not there! I knew all along that she wasn't out there in the sky! Because...because..." "She's sleeping under the tree on the hill!" The girl's cries echoed through the stars, and a hush fell over the area.

Chapter 8: The Wish

Though usually quite cheery, one day the girl became sad again. Luma drew close and tried to comfort her. "Mama, you still have me!" "And don't be sad about your mama, because she's a part of you! That means she's always close by!" "It's like me. I love Star Bits because they remind me of my mama." "No...no..." the girl said, unable to stop the tears. A lonely look flickered across Luma's face, but it was soon replaced by a wide grin. "I have an idea!" "I will transform into a comet, a soaring comet that can carry you all on this journey!" With that, Luma, trailing bands of white, soared high into the sky and just as quickly started to plummet back down. KABOOM! KABLAM! The ground shook, and a bright light poured out of the crater that the Luma had created. The bands of light twisted together to form a comet tail. And then Luma emerged, reborn as a comet. The girl could scarcely believe her eyes. "But...how?" she kept asking. "Our destiny as Lumas is to transform into different things," said a red Luma who had suddenly appeared. "Stars, comets, planets... We can become all of these things! When I grow up, I want to become a star that makes someone special smile," said a green Luma. A blue Luma chimed in, "That Luma turned into a real cutie of a comet, didn't he!" All of the Lumas together said, "No more crying, Mama!" "Thank you..." said the girl in a whisper, and she pulled the Lumas close and hugged them. From that day on, Star Bits no longer fell from the girl's eyes. The comet set forth for the girl's home planet, its long tail blazing proudly behind it.

Final Chapter: Family

With its many Lumas and telescopes, the comet was quite a sight to behold. The girl and the Lumas were proud to call it home. At a welcoming party for a new Luma, the girl gathered everyone in the kitchen and said in a louder voice than usual... "All right, everyone! Let's make a cake! A cake sprinkled with Star Bits! Then it will be a star cake!" The Lumas excitedly began to gather the ingredients. As she watched the Lumas scurry about, the girl smiled and thought to herself, "This is my family now, and I will stay with them until they're ready to leave the nest. And when they do leave, I'll see them off with a smile. Because that's what makes a mother happiest." That night, when the girl lay down to sleep, a soft light enveloped her and reminded her of the blue planet she once called home. "But it would be nice to return home once every one hundred years to nap in my favorite sleeping nook." The comet carrying the Lumas and the girl continues on its journey to this very day. With more "family members" in tow than can be counted, it's said that the comet visits the girl's home planet once every hundred years, its proud white tail glittering in the sky.

-Rosalina's story begins when she was a young girl living on [[Mushroom World]]. One day, Rosalina discovered a rusty spaceship (resembling the [[Starshroom]]) with a Luma inside. The Luma introduced itself, revealing that it was waiting for its "Mama". Rosalina bonded with the Luma, and promised that she would wait with it. Armed with her father's telescope, Rosalina stargazed for years, searching for the comet that carried the Luma's mother. Fearing it was taking too long, Rosalina and Luma fixed the spaceship then set off into space.

+==Story==
+===Chapter 1: The Celestial Duo===
-Traversing through asteroids, Rosalina grew very hungry. She had brought essentials for the trip: the telescope, food, her stuffed bunny (resembling a [[Star Bunny]]) and tea, but forgot water. At the sight of a pouting Rosalina, the Luma then told her that Star Bits would be all she needed, and began to share them with her. Leaning out the spaceship the two collected Star Bits to eat.
+Our story begins a very, very long time ago with [[Rosalina|a young girl]]. One day, this girl spotted a rusted spaceship holding a small star child.
+"''What's your name? Are you lost?''" the girl asked the star child. "''I'm [[Luma (character)|Luma]], and I'm waiting for Mama. She's coming for me on a [[Prankster Comet|comet]]!''" said the star child, who had been waiting day and night.
+"''Don't worry. I'll wait with you''," the little girl promised Luma.
+At nightfall, the little girl borrowed her father's telescope and peered into the sky. She looked and looked, but she saw nothing. Hours turned into days and then years, but still the sky revealed nothing. Finally, the little girl sighed and said to Luma, "''If we stay here looking much longer, I'll be an old lady soon.''" But then she had an idea. "''Why don't we go out there and find your mother ourselves?''"
+The girl and Luma fixed up the rusty spaceship, and then the two set sail into the starry sky. And this is how the search for the celestial mother began.
-One night a shimmering comet made of ice flew past the ship. Hoping Luma's mama would be there, the two set foot onto it. Mama was nowhere to be found, but discovered Star Bits clustered to the south.
+===Chapter 2: Star Bits===
-One night in a dream, Rosalina remembered her mother. Rosalina's mother greatly resembled how she herself would come to look. In the dream Rosalina's mother was going away. She told her not to worry, because she would always be watching her. Clinging to her mother, Rosalina cried. Upon waking up, Luma noticed tears coming from Rosalina's eyes (and mistook them for Star Bits). However, Rosalina explained what they actually were. She was crying because she would never see her mother again. At this, they both broke down into tears over their lost mothers.
+Days passed with no sight of the comet, or even a single planet. Instead, [[Galaxy|asteroid]]s extended for as far as the eye could see. "''If I had known it was going to take this long, I would have packed more jam,''" said [[Rosalina|the little girl]], above the rumble of her belly.
+Before they left, she had packed all the essentials: telescope, butterfly net, stuffed bunny, bread, milk, jam, and apricot-flavored tea, but...
+"''I forgot to bring water''!" At this, [[Luma (character)|Luma]] burst into gales of laughter, and the girl began to pout. "''As long as I have [[Star Bit]]s, I'll be fine,''" said Luma. "''Want some?''" The little girl couldn't stay mad after hearing this.
+Luma continued to laugh, and the girl couldn't help but join in. "''All right, maybe just a nibble.''"
+Leaning far out of the ship, the pair began to collect Star Bits with the girl's net. They almost fell out a few times, but they kept on collecting. The Star Bits tasted like honey.
-Continuing the search, Rosalina comforted the Luma, and told the little star she would take care of it, and with that a spark in her heart went off. She became determined to mother the Luma and then started to make the [[Comet Observatory|home]] out of the comet. With tools found inside the comet, Rosalina built what would become [[Dome]]s that would link to various [[galaxy|galaxies]]. For now, however, it was a shelter for Luma. Once completed it seemed very large for her and just one Luma.
+===Chapter 3: The Comet===
-One day another comet flew close to Rosalina's new home, and from the comet another Luma appeared. The Luma affectionately called out and said Rosalina was it's "Mama."  Soon the other Luma joined in: "My Mama, My Mama!" Rosalina found this so touching she could not help laughing. Out of the comet many more Luma came, and all of them called her Mama.  She took them all under her wing, named them, and moved them all into her newly built house on the comet.
+A beam of light pierced through the ship's window. Thinking it was the morning sun, [[Rosalina|the girl]] peered through the window, only to find a turquoise blue [[Prankster Comet|comet]] shimmering at her. The little girl shook the sleeping [[Luma (character)|Luma]] awake and shouted excitedly, "''We HAVE to get to that comet!''"
+The pair descended on the comet and found that it was made of ice. They looked high and low, but Luma's mother was nowhere to be found. Exhausted, the little girl sat down with a flop, utterly unable to take another step. "''Look''!"
+Peering down at the icy ground where Luma was pointing, the girl suddenly noticed clusters of [[Star Bit]]s encased in the ice. "''Pretty good, huh? Finding Star Bits is my specialty!''" said Luma, beaming. "''There's ice here, but it's so warm, I'll bet there's water here too.''" The two decided to stay on the comet for a while. Riding the turquoise comet, the pair continued their search for Luma's mother.
-One night Rosalina remembered her home planet of Mushroom World, and wondered if everything was all right there. She looked through her telescope until she could make out the planet's surface. She found her favorite spot for stargazing, on top of a hill with a lone tree, and it reminded her of her family. She wanted to go home, but she knew she'd never see her mother again. At this time it was revealed her mother had died, and was buried under the tree in view. Rosalina had been aware of this all along, but was unwilling to truly believe it.
+===Chapter 4: The Dream===
-The Luma comforted the crying Rosalina, assuring her that she shouldn't be sad. They told Rosalina that her mother is a part of her and will always be close by. It was at this time the Luma she met inside the ship had an idea. The Luma transformed the comet into the Comet Observatory to help in finding all their Mamas.  The Luma explained that when they grow up, they transform into various things, including stars, comets, and planets.  Rosalina was so overcome with emotion due to this selfless act she thanked all the Luma that had huddled around to hug her. From that day on Rosalina never cried again (hopefully) .
+One night, [[Rosalina|the girl]] dreamed about her own mother. "''Where are you going?''" she asked her mother's retreating back. Without turning, her mother replied, "''Don't fret, dearest. I'm not going anywhere. I'm always watching over you, like the [[sun]] in the day and the [[moon]] in the night.''"
+A wave of sadness washed over the girl. "''What about when it rains, and I can't see the sun or the moon?''" Her mother thought for a moment before responding.
+"''I will turn into a [[star]] in the clouds and wait for your tears to dry.''"
+When she awoke, the girl's face was damp with tears. "''You have [[Star Bit]]s in your eyes!''" said [[Luma (character)|Luma]] to the girl. Wiping her face, the girl replied, "''These are tears, not Star Bits. I'm crying because I'll never see my mother ever again!''" At this, Luma began to cry too. "''Mama, oh, Mama... waaaah!''"
+The pair traveled through the starry skies, and though they encountered many other [[Prankster Comet|comet]]s, not one of them held Luma's mother. Luma was despondent. "''Now, now, Luma. The rain clouds won't go away if you keep crying,''" the girl said, giving Luma a squeeze. "''I'll give you a present if you stop.''" The girl closed her eyes and said gently, "''I'll take care of you.''" With these words, she felt a small spark in her heart.
-The observatory grew and grew into a better home, and Rosalina and the Luma were proud to call it their own.  At a welcoming party for a new Luma, Rosalina and the others baked a cake topped off with Star Bits. Coming together in such a way made her realize the Luma were her new family, and she was determined to raise them and help them all fulfill their destinies. It was at this time she began to call herself the mother of the Luma.
+===Chapter 5: Home===
-Rosalina was reminded yet again of her home one night.  Even though she had a new goal in her life, she thought it'd be nice to visit her favorite spot from her past.  So every one hundred years the Comet Observatory passes over the Mushroom Kingdom so that she can re-visit her homeworld.
+"''The [[Kitchen (Dome)|kitchen]] will go here, and the library will go over there,''" [[Rosalina|the girl]] said busily to herself. "''We'll put the [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|gate]] here.''" Ever since the girl took [[Luma (character)|Luma]] under her care, she'd been bustling about at a feverish pace. "''It's a lot of work, but it's worth it to make a happy home.''" It turned out that [[Star Bit]]s weren't the only things buried in the ice. There were tools and furniture unlike any they had ever seen, and the girl used them to build [[Comet Observatory|a home]].
+Looking at the completed house, Luma remarked, "''Don't you think it's awfully big for just the two of us?''" With a library, [[bedroom]], kitchen, [[fountain]], and gate, it was certainly spacious, but still, something seemed to be missing. "''If only my father, brother, and mother were here,''" the girl said wistfully.
+Indeed, the house was too large for its two small residents.
+That night, clutching her favorite stuffed bunny close to her heart, the girl fell asleep in the starship.
-During the story, Rosalina mentions her home planet as "a blue planet", the [[Earth]] is also known by this name, so it is possible Rosalina comes from the Earth.
+===Chapter 6: Friends===
+Then one day, while [[Rosalina|the girl]] sat sipping tea, a tiny apricot-colored [[planet]] appeared on the horizon. From the planet, another [[Luma (species)|Luma]] of the same color emerged. "''Do you two know each other?!''" the girl asked the two Lumas gleefully. Despite the girl's excitement, they seemed uneasy.
+The two Lumas neither drew closer nor backed away from each other. Instead, they just stared. Then one Luma broke the silence. "''My mama!''" At once, the apricot Luma parroted back, "''My mama! My mama!" "My mama!" "My mama!''" The two Lumas began to dance around the girl frantically, and neither showed any sign of stopping. The girl was so charmed by this adorable scene that she couldn't help but laugh. And that's when something very strange happened.
+Suddenly, more Lumas began to pop out from the apricot planet. They were different colors, but they all shouted the same thing. "''My mama!" "My mama!''" The sight of all the shouting Lumas only made the girl laugh harder. "''What am I going to do with all these children?!''" The Lumas just stared blankly as she doubled over laughing. "''I guess we'll have to name each and every one of you.''" Tomorrow, once she had finished naming them all, she would begin moving all the Lumas into [[Comet Observatory|the new house]].
+===Chapter 7: The Telescope===
+After seeing their 100th [[Prankster Comet|comet]], a sudden thought popped into [[Rosalina|the girl]]'s head: "''I wonder if my home [[planet]] is still as blue as it was.''" That's when she remembered her father's telescope.
+Peeking into the telescope, a tiny blue dot floated into sight. It was smaller than a [[Star Bit]]. "''How strange... It's so far away, but it feels so close.''"
+She twisted the knob of the telescope, and the blue dot grew until she could make out a grassy hill dotted with flowers. It seemed very familiar to her. Zooming even closer, a terrace on the hill came into view. "''I used to go stargazing there when I lived on my home planet.''"
+She remembered rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she followed her father up that hill to look at the [[star]]s...
+She remembered how she and her brother would sled down that hill...
+She remembered having picnics with her mother on that hill on bright and windy days... And...
+"''I want to go home! I want to go home right now!''" The girl burst into tears, and the [[Luma (species)|Lumas]] didn't know what to do. "''I want to go home! I want to go back to my house by the hill! I want to see my mother!''" The girl was shouting now, her face wet with tears. "''But I know she's not there! I knew all along that she wasn't out there in the sky! Because...because...''"
+"''She's sleeping under the tree on the hill!''" The girl's cries echoed through the stars, and a hush fell over the area.
+===Chapter 8: The Wish===
+Though usually quite cheery, one day [[Rosalina|the girl]] became sad again. [[Luma (character)|Luma]] drew close and tried to comfort her. "''Mama, you still have me!" "And don't be sad about your mama, because she's a part of you! That means she's always close by!" "It's like me. I love [[Star Bit]]s because they remind me of my mama." "No...no...''" the girl said, unable to stop the tears.
+A lonely look flickered across Luma's face, but it was soon replaced by a wide grin. "''I have an idea!" "I will transform into a [[Prankster Comet|comet]], a soaring comet that can carry you all on this journey!"''
+With that, Luma, trailing bands of white, soared high into the sky and just as quickly started to plummet back down. KABOOM! KABLAM! The ground shook, and a bright light poured out of the crater that the Luma had created.
+The bands of light twisted together to form a comet tail. And then Luma emerged, reborn as a comet.
+The girl could scarcely believe her eyes. "''But...how?''" she kept asking. "''Our destiny as [[Luma (species)|Lumas]] is to transform into different things,"'' said a red Luma who had suddenly appeared. ''"[[Star]]s, comets, [[planet]]s... We can become all of these things! When I grow up, I want to become a star that makes someone special smile,"'' said a green Luma. A blue Luma chimed in, "''That Luma turned into a real cutie of a comet, didn't he!''"
+All of the Lumas together said, ''"No more crying, Mama!" "Thank you..."'' said the girl in a whisper, and she pulled the Lumas close and hugged them. From that day on, Star Bits no longer fell from the girl's eyes.
+The comet set forth for the girl's home planet, its long tail blazing proudly behind it.
+===Final Chapter: Family===
+With its many [[Luma (species)|Lumas]] and telescopes, the [[Comet Observatory|comet]] was quite a sight to behold. [[Rosalina|The girl]] and the Lumas were proud to call it home. At a welcoming party for a new Luma, the girl gathered everyone in the [[Kitchen (Dome)|kitchen]] and said in a louder voice than usual... "''All right, everyone! Let's make a cake! A cake sprinkled with [[Star Bit]]s! Then it will be a star cake!''" The Lumas excitedly began to gather the ingredients.
+As she watched the Lumas scurry about, the girl smiled and thought to herself, "''This is my family now, and I will stay with them until they're ready to leave the nest. And when they do leave, I'll see them off with a smile. Because that's what makes a mother happiest.''"
+That night, when the girl lay down to sleep, a soft light enveloped her and reminded her of the blue planet she once called home. ''"But it would be nice to return home once every one hundred years to nap in my favorite sleeping nook."''
+The comet carrying the Lumas and the girl continues on its journey to this very day. With more "''family members''" in tow than can be counted, it's said that the comet visits the girl's home planet once every hundred years, its proud white tail glittering in the sky.
