What are you guys talking about?

Everyone knows that Rosalina is a Mutant Space Ninja Dragon Lesbian Wheelchair Robot Pirate Zombie Goddess, as well as Ridley's great great great great great great great uncle.
What are you talking about....?
ROSALINA ATE PLASMA NOW LOOK AT HER! SHE'S HUGE AND CAN DO THINGS HUMANS CAN'T LIKE REMAKE UNIVERSES AND GROW 1000 FEET TALL AND LIVE FOREVER!!!
Starbits are plasma? I thought the concept of starbits is from a Japanese candy for kids.

Stars are made of plasma, meaning starbits have to be bits of plasma, since they are made from stars (Luma)
Well, if you think it fictionally, just think of it as a candy.
Hey, you don't question him. You listen to him. He knows all the answers. :awesome:

Well, that's just another theory yet to be proven.
I don't even know what was that mean.

Just go with the flow. Hey, at least it got sonicbrawler and Swiftie (a.k.a. The two naughty little children) to stop their dumbass argument over Rosalina's purpose for wearing a crown or whatever.

T'was a joke. You'll know it straight away when he refers to Rosalina as 'uncle'.

The term 'Princess Rosalina' seems right to my ears. I don't have any crazily complicated theories on that, I just like the sound of 'Princess Rosalina'.

She was originally planned to be Peach's sibling actually. So it may be possible that the developers planned her to be another princess. I just glad they didn't go making her as another damsel-in-distress like Peach or irrelevant to main games like Daisy.

I already got it LOL~

And was there any evidence or source to prove that they were once thinking to make Rosalina as Peach's sibling?

It wasn't a "******* argument", it was just a friendly discussion. You don't have to try and sound edgy and hard over everything, you know...

It can't exactly sound "right" if it really isn't right.

And the fact that they originally thought of making her one, but then scrapped that idea, is further proof that she isn't one, not the other way around. Saying Rosalina is a princess because "they briefly considered making her one early on" is like saying "Sonic the Hedgehog is a rabbit because they briefly considered making him one early on".

I hope you can sometimes just compromise... just don't get too "in" to some trifling stuff.

I read it somehwere in Mario Wiki, but I might have gotten it from different places.

Chill.

I know it is most likely not right. I'm just stating I'm fine with the term Princess Rosalina and it sounds right to me. Sounding right doesn't mean it HAS to be right. It's just me's opinion.

Yo. I'm just saying that it MAY be possible she was planned to be another princess. I know they scrapped that idea. I wasn't trying to use that as a 'proof' that she is one.

Don't get me wrong. I KNOW there are no proof that Rosalina is a princess aside from the crown (Which probably doesn't say much), and I don't really consider her of one. I just saying I'm fine with the Princess Rosalina term because I like the sound of it.

But at the end. Doesn't really matter if she is or not. She's Rosalina, princess or not. Protector of the galaxies that we will always love :grin:.

There's no need to throw that in when all I did was make a regular, monotone response.

People around here need to stop automatically assuming "a response that provides a different perspective" = "GRRRR THEY'RE ANGRY".

We weren't angry at each other ,i don't know what gave that impression.

We were just talking about it ,and in the end is funny because we technically can agree since i don't see the ''Princess Rosalina'' term accurate ; I think it might be possible but it also can be wrong since the developers as of today never adress her as such in official media. In fact they seem to be careful and refer to Rosalina as a cosmic traveler or mysterious figure , etc , excluding Baby Rosalina who is irrelevant because she is not canon.

Baby Rosalina is the result of :

Not touching Rosalina's backstory since forever ago + Time issues + easy to make + taken from a popular character.

Anyway , i always though Rosalina wore her crown because she was a Leader , the head of the Lumas and the Cosmic observatory .

Better check at a reliable source. Mariowiki I say it's only half-half.

I know there was some talk about Star Bits earlier, but we do know in fact that they are real:


I want to order this online. I really wanna try it, but I poor as dirt right now.

EDIT: Hey @ mario123007 mario123007 , since you live in Taiwan, do they have konpeito over there? Have you tried it?

I made a mental connection a few years after playing SMG that Rosalina perhaps did indeed acquire her superhuman attributes from consuming star bits. I think she and the lumas (and maybe bowser?) were the only ones to eat star bits in SMG, which may have been where they all got their powers (lumas transforming, bowser building galaxies etc. although bowser also ate grand stars so) (and mario got his powers from not just the typical power ups but also the lumas). I would wonder why she was able to lean out of her spaceship and into space to capture star bits with her net in her story despite the insane cold temperatures and lack of oxygen, but Mario Characters don't seem to rely (much?) on breathing, judging from how they 'hold their breath' in all the underwater levels they've been in since the first mario game. And aside from snowballs/ice attacks, cold stuff doesn't seem to hurt them, although I'm likely wrong there.

And in regards to her having some sort of rule over the other mario characters (princess/goddess role), I think the crown may have been something she was given as a child (so maybe she really is royalty), or she may have created it, or it may have been fashioned for her as a gift by the luma(s). I personally don't feel she's meant to play the god role in the mario universe for a few reasons (if someone could link me to or provide the counter arguement for that that'd be appreciated).

And I'd also like to note she seems really crazy smart, since she was able to rebuild a spaceship and assemble a ton of stuff into the observatory while she was young.

It is just a game world though, heh. I didn't do much research before writing this but I felt I'd offer my 2 cents before the subject gets dropped.

I have seen this before.
I had tried this before. It's a candy, so it just tastes pretty sweet, nothing that unusual or special.

The only source you need for the goddess role is SMG itself. She's unquantifiably old and seemingly immortal, she pulls new powers out of nowhere in nearly every game, she is referred to as "mother/watcher/protector of the cosmos", she has reset the universe countless times - I could go on really. The implication is quite clearly there, and I can't ignore it. Palutena from the Kid Icarus series has much less power and responsibility than Rosalina, yet she's a goddess. Same goes for the other god/goddess characters in that game. Don't see why Rosalina wouldn't be one considering that.

Where Rosalina got her powers from is still completely unexplained though. I can't agree to the Star Bit consumption theory, as Star Bits don't really have any special powers. They're just Konpeito candy in the context of the Mario universe.

I'm willing to get those myself if I ever get the chance.
More power to me then .

If you are not sure about it why even bother posting a toxic sentence about us?

i Guess some never learn.
The only thing toxic around here is your sarcastic and girlish responses.

So here's something I found recently:

I guess Rosalina could look like this if she were born in an era with this type of clothing style.

Not really. Using childish remarks as a way to come back won't save you.

You have no right to flame me (or others) in a personal way , so please learn some respect and grow up already , this is beyond normal standards.

Can't tell if she's dressed up like a soccer mom or a wannabe aspiring rapper trying to show off her flows.

Go try some, it's pretty tasty.

I don't think his response is sarcastic. Girlish responses, a bit, but I can tolerate it.

I see Rosalina wearing simple clothes mostly, if she were to be among us. I imagine she'd really like sundresses too.

Also random thing, but I've been watching a Kingdom Hearts II playthrough, and I forgot how much Naminé looks like Rosalina. She's basically what I imagine a teenage Rosalina would look like.



What makes it an even more fitting comparison is that she draws picture books:
