So, Rosalina and Sakurai got back together in Tomodachi Life.

I can't remember if I posted this here, but I'll do it anyways.


Does anyone think Rosalina could have this kind of personality/behavior? I kinda like it. :)
I think I've seen those before. Are you El!as?

At times, I think she could find it in her to have fun like that! It actually makes a lot of sense, when you think about it. While she's unarguably got the most serious responsibility of any character in the Mario universe, as well as the most tragic past, considering how she went through puberty with Lumas (children), I believe she has retained much of the child-like spirit we've seen her display in her storybook. This is reflected in her life long hobby of having fantastical stories built up in her library.

While she may be divine and immortal, she began life as a normal, innocent child, and I'm sure the pressures she undergoes call for that stress to be released on occasion, which would include her acting like a big adorable dork like in the above pictures. :3

I believe even the most elegant and refined characters should always have at least one closet quirk that contradicts that, since it makes them more relate-able and gives them more agency, and prevents them from becoming too much of a Mary Sue. For example, Professor Layton is the most polite and eloquent of gentlemen, as well as being a genius - but he's also really messy, and has a tendency to end up sleeping in due to studying too much.

So yeah, I definitely think Rosalina has the capacity to be silly and adorable, on occasion! :D

Stop making it sound like they were there during her periods, it's gross. :p

He's so heavy because he hides gold under his flaps of fat.
Plus, fat weighs more than muscle. That's why DK is lighter.
Actually, it's the other way around; muscle weighs more than fat. In Mario Kart 64, Super Circuit, and Wii, DK and Wario weigh the same. In Double Dash, DK is heavier (well, his kart, the DK Jumbo, is heavier than the Wario Car). In MK7 and on, Wario's been heavier (probably because combination of muscle and fat).

Also, Yoshi is a lightweight and middle-lightweight in the Mario Kart games, but a heavyweight in Super Smash Bros. I think it has more to do with karts than characters (i.e., Wario builds his karts to have more weight and speed than DK's, but less acceleration), but that's just a theory.

"considering how she went through puberty with Lumas"
.....I wasn't talking about periods though.

Puberty is the transition from child to adult. Rosalina went through this surrounded by child-like beings. Thus, she likely retained a lot of child-like values even in her adulthood, such as the many fantastical books she keeps.

But when most people hear puberty, they think of the body changes. :p

Yeah, and in one of her bios for MKW, it said this:

Website
"Making her debut on the track, Rosalina shows her experience of space travel translates well to rocketing round the race course. With a friendly Luma by her side, Rosalina is right at home on the track!"

Guidebook
"Watching over and protecting the cosmos sure gets tiring! But with Mario's help, Rosalina can spend some time with her new hobby: riding only the biggest, baddest bikes!"

LOL Thanks for posting that XDDD

But when most people hear puberty, they think of the body changes. :p
Yeah, but i would like to see how a Red-head turns into a platunium blonde Woman Lol

Not to mention Wario has muscles too! He's not just a fatty like many believe.

i mean look at those biceps! Lol

There was that one headcanon someone posted here that her mother, a queen, wanted her to dye her hair to look more princess-like, explaining how Baby Rosalina has platinum blonde.
Yet child Rosalina still is a Red head??? Why would she have her hair ''princess like '' and then change it later? makes no sence

I don't really agree with some of those personalities. In fact, whenever Rosalina kisses someone, I would think that the person who she's kissing would feel more relaxed.



Sure we can't see Meta Knight's face, but you have to admit that even he has to have a soft spot for a beautiful young female.
That's how I would probably see Rosalina... back when she wasn't appearing in so many games. Because Rosalina is a Nintendo character, they can add her to almost any type of game, just like they do with Mario. Since this can be done, Rosalina's personality might fluctuate depending on the game and the developers making the game. When she was in Mario Kart Wii, she had more of a monotone, adult voice compared to the higher pitched, more excited voice she has now in Mario Kart 8. Now that she's gonna be in SSB4, her personality might be like how it was in SMG, based on what we've seen so far.

Also, I'm not saying that they can change her personality entirely since she has a back story to her, but it can generally change depending on the type of game she's in.

Some extreme examples of personalities being changed to suite the tone of the game:
Skip around to 0:23

Daisy might as well be like this all the time:

Am I the only one who doesn't see Rosalina as monotone in MKWii? I think she sounds more monotone in MK8.

When I listen to her MKWii voice clips, well, to put it bluntly - about half of her voice clips sound like someone who's having the best night of sex in their life.

Of course, Mercedes made her monotone in Galaxy and made her more suitably excitable in MKWii, but this is no different to what Laura is doing of late.

And I don't think Nintendo have ever changed her personality. Nothing we've seen in more recent games contradicts what was established in Galaxy. They've just been expanding her character.

Exactly this. They may not be changing her personality, but she just has a different behavior depending on the game. They really have been expanding her character by showing off traits/behavior that we haven't seen from her. It feels like she's kinda of a developing character.

I always thought it was weird how Laura gave Rosalina "Gwooah!" As some weird trademark sound she makes when going off a glider ramp in MK8, and doing a rolling jump in 3D World. :p

I wonder how they'll portray Rosalina in the next Strikers, and how amazing her Mega Strike will be.

At least Rosalina has been maintaining her very good temper. Whenever Rosalina loses, she simply feels sad, though she does faint after getting a Double Bogey or worse.

One more thing before I go to bed. This Miiverse picture is kind of saddening...

3rd panel, Kirby hits Rosalina in the in the face with his hammer.

If you can't read the text, here you go:

1st Panel:
Kirby - "Luma, wait.. I.. love you.
Luma - "I love you too! But my mama she- ..."

2nd Panel
Rosalina - "Luma. Come Now.
Luma - "I have to go. ..."

3rd Panel
Kirby - "NO!"

This is something Rosalina would obviously not do. She'd let the Luma fall in love with Kirby, but this is just a simple play on how Rosalina can call back Luma anytime.

Lol! Kirby isn't agressive to begin with XD

Just comedic purposes i believe

Meh. Just unknowing Miiverse people. They obviously don't get Rosalina, as she obviously wouldn't Force the Luma to do something it doesn't want. They probably just wanted to be funny or something :dr^_^:

So, besides Rosalina, does anyone have potential mains?

:4shulk: :4shulk: :4shulk: (I'm pretty confident.) :4robinf: :4palutena: :4greninja:

However, I've pretty much decided after binging Mario Kart 8 that if Shulk is in, this game is pretty much going to be "Super Shulk Bros. featuring Rosalina" for me. I'll probably give the other three their due though. I supported Palutena pretty hard, love her moveset, and Robin's everything I ever wanted for FE in Smash.

Oh, and Greninja. He was my starter in Y, and is my second favorite Gen 6 Pokemon after Sylveon. :shades:

Speaking of her colors, do we know if her nails change color when she changes outfits? That seems like that'd be a cool detail.

:4peach::4kirby::4lucina::4zss::4tlink: <3

Peach will forever remain as my First character , i'm nothing without her in the game lol

I would just like to say I think Rosalina looks beautiful in her gold dress. ❤
She Looks like a million Dollars

Am I the only one who doesn't see Rosalina as monotone in MKWii? I think she sounds more monotone in MK8.

When I listen to her MKWii voice clips, well, to put it bluntly - about half of her voice clips sound like someone who's having the best night of sex in their life.

And I don't think Nintendo have ever changed her personality. Nothing we've seen in more recent games contradicts what was established in Galaxy. They've just been expanding her character.
What? XD

I also thought that Mercedes Sounded really exited for a character like Rosalina , she made her sound mature but still like she's having lots of fun , i love her ''Yahoo'' and ''Whoooo'' , also when you lose as Rosalina in MKWii you don't feel so bad because Of Mercedes calm voice ♥.
Now Laura is doing the job decently , She just makes her sound A LOT younger , and a like she's having EVEN MORE fun than before. The only thing that bugs me is that she does not have an echo sound effect :/ , but i like how She still sounds calm , except when she says ''Yahooo!'' , ugh! i hate that single line :p

I wish that I could remember when I saw that post, as I did make a comment on it in the form of a drawing. Of course, I did come across the following drawings during my search.

The lack of echo is really the only thing making her sound younger.

One of these days, I'm tempted to record some of her voice clips from 3D World and add the echo effect myself to see what it sounds like.

I've wanted Rosalina's horn sound effect in MK8 to be my texting tone for so long, but I can't for the life of me record it without stupid motor noises... Voice clips would be next on the list of sounds to acquire.

I'll be sticking with her original colours, as I usually do. But if she has a cool alternate model, I might use that.

I'd definitely use her regular color, her white and red color, and the gold.

Here's a quote I really like from a YouTube video:

"You know...One of the reasons I admire Rosalina so much is because of the colossal sacrifice she chooses to make every 100 years...I'm sure she has to feel lonely at least at some point during those voyages.

She's alone in the observatory, with none others of her kind - her only company are the hundreds of star children she spends her time looking after, and they all look to her as a mother...

It has to be difficult for her to leave her home planet, with the knowledge that another chance to see it won't come until the beginning of the next century...Yet, out of her never-ending love for the Lumas, she still does it...

...It makes me fear what will happen when her game ends...I mean, odds are she'll probably go alone, in some other distant part of the cosmos, leaving behind a handful of children who have no one else to go to...It seems like such a sad and lonely state of existence, for all of them.."

Lol Kirby in there looks kinda serious XD

and Also , I'm 100% sure that if Laura lowers her voice a little bit and they add echo to her voice then Rosalina would sound just perfect , since everytime you use the Mega Mushroom in 3D World her voice changes and it reminds me of How it used to be.

I've wanted Rosalina's horn sound effect in MK8 to be my texting tone for so long, but I can't for the life of me record it without stupid motor noises... Voice clips would be next on the list of sounds to acquire.
Yeah , i also wanted the voice clips to do an experiment :( , You can't have the MK7 or MK8 voices since there's no way to go through the game to extract them :( unlike in MKWii .

Actually, MK8 has been hacked and it's possible to extract sound clips from it. MrBean35000vr hasn't released any tools though. Just try to be patient for a while (I really want to make a custom track for the game).

Really? Oh great!
Well ummm i don't really know how to feel about that though... I mean i remember the hackers online in MKWii back then (It was hilarious to be honest) but i don't want MK8 To be ruined :( so i just hope the hacking won't go that far.

I just want the characters Voice clips , especially Rosalina's , to do my experiment with the echo sound effect :p

As far as I know by watching his Twitch streams, he said that he isn't planning to release the tools, but he probably will in time. Right now, the only sounds that can be extracted is the music, so you'll have to wait a little longer than expected to get Rosalina's voices. MrBean is currently working on making a custom track, so let's see where it'll go from there once it's released.

Actually, I could probably get some clean Rosalina voice clips from SM3DW. I simply have to go to a place where there is no background noise or music, and record a video with my Elgato, cut it up, and turn it into an audio file. Then, I edit the sound to give it that echo.

I might do this in a bit.
