This is the results so far. Hopefully it stays that way forever.

I'm glad Tingle is (technically) second. Just goes to show how much people prefer a 35 year-old man in a skin tight suit over an annoying fairy that never shuts up and a star that makes you invincible... Well Navi and Tingle are kinda troll-ish answers. Starman and Luma are the only ones that fit, thematically.

Let's wait an see what happens tomorrow, since that's when it ends.

Starman is referring to the Earthbound character. The invincibility stars in Mario are called Super Stars.

The Super Star can also be called a Starman though.

 

[ChikoLad]

The Super Star can also be called a Starman though.

It's just the musical theme that's called "Starman". The Super Star has always been the name of the power-up item.

It's just the musical theme that's called "Starman". The Super Star has always been the name of the power-up item.

Still, it asks the question as to why the name "Starman" was used for the Melee and Brawl trophies.

Yeah, it really depends on what kind of Christmas you want to have. For a comical Christmas, they'd pick Navi and Tingle. I actually think that Luma fits the Christmas theme better than the rest, considering the indirect or unintentional reference to the birth of Christ.

One thing I actually noticed that Rosalina and Mary, who is the mother of Jesus, are both maidens (I felt like the other term would be too inappropriate for Smashboards) and never needed a man to have their child. So yeah, it makes a whole lot of sense to pick Luma as the Christmas Star.

If anyone wonders why I haven't been active for a few days, I was busying playing Pokemon Moon. I picked Popplio as my starter (Because my two brother pick Litten and Rowlet on their game). It was an awesome game (Of course). Can't wait to finish it in order to get Magearna.

Spoiler: About Lusamine

She like…a more psychotic version of Rosalina…
Just look this comic, even though it is just a fanfic, it pretty much makes sense

I mean who would want to put tingle? 24%…wow…

I still haven't play the game but from what I've seen she's just 50% evil and 50% hot air.

Spoiler: spoiler cuz ending

No seriously, she's really unsettling to me. And although I know how the game ends, I don't know if she's sick, controlled by Nihilego from start to end or just deeply and limitlessly evil, wicked or whatever.

Aw man yoy already know the game's ending even though you didn't play it? That's not good…
And she's isn't unsettling at all when she was revealed and for those who don't know the game's plot.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

I recently made this video of Rosalina racing in the MKDS Kiosk Demo.
Aside from being inside racing, i made Rosalina appear and speak to the player through text making various references and using her voice clips from Mario Kart 7.
It was fun to make Rosalina's different expressions as she speaks.

I'm not the patient type. Couldn't wait.

 

[MaJoR MuCuS]

A nice Rosalina pic.

 

[ChikoLad]

I swear to god, if this video results in people genuinely believing Peach is a goddess who is legitmately more powerful than Rosalina, and people even more fervently don't accept that Rosalina is the real deity-figure of the series, I am going lose my faith in the fandom.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

Why do you even care that much about what people think though?

It's such a waste, specially on the internet.

Not to mention, there's that game theory of Rosalina being the daughter of Peach and Luigi. That theory would connect with this so-called one. Well, then we have people believing stuff like this:

Also, there's the fact that Peach is not even close to being immortal, meaning once she passes her senior years she dies. It's a shame it's those kind of flaw filled videos infected with misconceptions, and facts ignoring and denigrating of other characters, especially Rosalina, and presenting them as facts. She doesn't have celestial magic that is even close to divinity, she doesn't live forever, and doesn't fit the definition as much as Rosalina doesn't with princess. Yet, people assumes these things as the truth.

It's a shame it's those kind of flaw filled videos infected with misconceptions, and facts ignoring and the degrading of other characters, especially Rosalina, and presenting them as facts. She doesn't have celestial magic that is even close to divinity, she doesn't live forever, and doesn't fit the definition as much as Rosalina doesn't with princess. Yet, people assumes these things as the truth.

For one , if we go by technical aspects , all the characters within Mario could be inmortal in some way.

Whether is directly speaking, as main characters are not really ''killed off'' or if we want to go be more specific you can look at how Bowser doesn't die after being melted in lava 5616661616516 times by Mario , even now creating the entity known as Dry Bowser , he does not really die.

Explain to me how that video was ''degrading'' , all i saw was a person pointing out the way Miyamoto clearly sees Peach as he clearly is attached to the characters he created himself and explaining details within her appearences and abilities by linking them to japanese culture, which is not a stretch in the slightest as Nintendo is a japanese company , it's more than natural that they would take some reference in their own culture to add inside the games such as Luigi having a ''Kitsune'' suit instead of a Tanooki one like Mario does.

For the record , Peach does have some level of ''magic'' within her ; her whole ability related to hearts is based on that, besides the simple fact that she is capable to float at will clearly show some level of magic within herself.

As for Rosalina, literally mentioning her in less than a second in a video clearly NOT about her is not ''degrading''.

As far as i know ''uplifting'' something or somebody does not automatically mean i'm ''degrading'' the other part.

And again i heard very well, it says that Peach is more powerful than her but also more than others, so it's not a direct shot against Rosalina as much as you guys want it to be. Does not mean it's true and should not be taken seriously , those videos at the end of the day are only for entertainment, nothing less and nothing more.

In other words , why take it so seriously?

If someone was worried about the ''fandom'' it would be me , with people constantly reducing Rosalina , Peach and company to porn material all around , forgetting the mild nature of their characters , and in the case of Rosalina forgetting how much more she is than that.

Now THAT is truly degrading.

 

[IvanQuote]

If one takes heed to both the "Rosalina is Peach's Daughter" and "Peach has kami-level power", one could take the view that she inherited a lot of potential from Peach, refined and strengthened it in space, and is able to fully control a greater power than Peach ever could. Doesn't explain Peach's "death" but hey.

 

[ChikoLad]

The theories are nonsense because if you assume "every game is a stage play" is true (only SMB3 literally is) as it was brought up on this video, that makes MatPat's "proven" (GaijinGoombah's words, not mine) theories all fall apart. Mario simply acts as a psycho, Toad acts as a parasite, Peach simply acts like she has a desire to be kidnapped, and Rosalina is an actress who plays the part of Peach and Luigi's child, etc.

I just don't like these misconceptions and how Game Theory spreads them because they get so out of hand and people accept them as fact. Like seriously, people calling Peach the god character, and Rosalina the princess, is a real possibility now.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I don't trust any of those stupid theories in regards to Rosalina being related to either the Mario Bros. or Peach. It's very likely that she was born long before the Mario Bros., Peach, and even Bowser existed.

As for the princess theory, it's possible that Rosalina was a princess at one point, but her parents resigned from doing royal duties.

 

[Char Seasalina]

Explain to me how that video was ''degrading''

Peach constantly gets kidnapped and is seen as the typical damsel, but calling her more powerful than even the villain, hero and goddess degrades them to a lower level, literally implying that they're weaker than Peach. Why can't things just be as simple as saying, Peach is a potentially strong Princess who is too kind to hurt anyone most of the times, that Bowser is the villain, who hides the fact that at time he holds a good heart, that wants to marry Peach and defeat Mario who is the hero we know and love, who does also holds bad as well as good secrets, that saves the Princess and basically everything else?

For one , if we go by technical aspects , all the characters within Mario could be inmortal in some way.

Whether is directly speaking, as main characters are not really ''killed off'' or if we want to go be more specific you can look at how Bowser doesn't die after being melted in lava 5616661616516 times by Mario , even now creating the entity known as Dry Bowser , he does not really die.

There's gameovers, and yes, Rosalina does get game-over screens in 3D World due to gameplay reasons. Plus, that game barely has stories other than the Sprixies being kidnapped and needing rescues, so I just see that as Rosalina disabling some of her immunity. Also, there is the fact that in Super Mario Galaxy, Rosalina is essentially immune to the universe resetting at the end and is directly said to live centuries which I'm pretty sure no mundane entities can last.

In other words , why take it so seriously?

Same reasons as this:

I just don't like these misconceptions and how Game Theory spreads them because they get so out of hand and people accept them as fact.

At first, I thought of these Theory video was entertaining until I realized that it's not the truth. It's really just promoting misuse of video games concept, considering calling Pauline, Mario's mother, which doesn't make sense at all due to the creepy notes of their romantic relationships and that it's never confirmed nor referenced.

As for the princess theory, it's possible that Rosalina was a princess at one point, but her parents resigned from doing royal duties.

If anything, she was portrayed as an innocent maiden living happily and carefree with her family in her backstory until tradegy struck. It's possible, but seems unlikely. Though, her beta design was the only time she's shown as an actual princess.

 

[ChikoLad]

Moving onto a less controversial topic, Super Mario Run came out today.

I have Android so I can't get it yet. It looks good, and it looks free of overly greedy practices, but I don't think it warrants it's price tag right now. I'll probably get it if it's ever reduced in price or if they start rolling out free content updates.

It turns out Peach is actually playable, complete with her float, so I'm hoping Rosalina is added before too long, with her Spin Attack. I'd even be willing to pay a little money just for her, and her addition alone could make me buy the game (though I'd expect other content to be rolled out with her).

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

The only thing i gotta say , is that it's a good time to have an iphone.

I have the game , got hooked into it. Nintendo did it again.

I wasn't aware she was playable. I assumed they would give an excuse like "we had to figure out how to animate dresses and it is hard". If Peach is playable, I'm positive Rosalina will. It's not like they had any other important female character... Ahah...

No honestly, if Rosalina gets to be playable, it'll be a huge jump for her popularity and even if she's got a good number of appearances for the past years, it would be appreciable. It would get her famous outside of the core of the fandom and will officially promote her to second first lady.

Well, if she's in the next 3D Mario, I also think it'll lead to this situation, and I'm also really positive about her inclusion in this game.

EDIT: After checking, Toadette also appears in the list of playable characters? I'm impressed.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

One can only hope for updates. I would like to think they will include more characters.

Probably Nabbit , as he clearly works for such games as in the Luigi version of the SMBU game.

Also Peach being playable doesn't exactly guaranteed a Rosalina appearence judging how even Toadette managed to get in before her , but if she does it would obviously be the best thing ever.

 

[ChikoLad]

Rosalina is a lock I think if the game DOES get new content that includes new characters, along with Wario. Both of them have natural abilities that lend themselves perfectly to SMR's one-hand, touch anywhere gameplay, and they would add a new twist to how you play the game. The question is whether or not the game gets updates.

Rosalina can retain her Spin Attack from 3D World. To adapt it to the no buttons gameplay though, they could make it that it only works in mid-air, and only works once per jump, and it refreshes when she lands on ground, on a wall, or when she bounces off an enemy. It still retains it's double jump effect though as well as it's hitbox, making her the perfect character for enemy combos. If they don't already have it in game inherently, they could make Rosalina get a special score bonus when she chains enemy KOs together.

Wario could get the Shoulder Bash. When he uses it, he gains extra horizontal speed and barrels through enemies/blocks in his path, but he loses all upward momentum as soon as he uses it. They could also make it so that he gets extra coins from defeating multiple enemies in a row, as a parallel to Rosalina.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

I would imagine Rosalina being the character that has easier reach to the coins as the Spin would be pointless for enemies , since you still automatically jump over them with no damage and you would not need to spin as the common way to kill enemies is by stomping them.

On the other hand , such ability works more for reaching than offense as the Spin is also an extra jump , which would allow Rosalina reach higher areas (maybe hidden ones) and even have a guaranteed perfect score in the end of the flagpole.

It would work similar to that Mini Mario and Friends amiibo game.

The Spin would still be really useful for attacking aerial enemies in your path like Para-Koopas and Bullet Bills, not to mention things like Piranha Plants that can't actually be vaulted over. You also get extra points for actually defeating enemies. Rosalina would be ideal for this as the double jump from the Spin would allow her to more easily form longer chains of attacks on enemies, by spinning over to enemies that might otherwise be just a bit too much out of reach for continuing a combo.

The benefit of reaching coins easier is obviously still there, but being able to use it on enemies is more the significant trait.

So as you guys may know , i communicate with Kerri Kane from time to time , she is so sweet as usual.

This time she shared with me and with twitter a christmas song that she recorded out of fun.

She has a beautiful voice and is so talented , hopefully you enjoy it as much as i did.

Ever wanted Rosalina singing? Your wish came true then.

Rosalina singing is actually something I always wanted to hear. It's cool to see it somewhat happen. Even has a nice echo effect to it.

Keeping with the Christmas spirit, here's a nice picture that came up on my Twitter feed.

I would link the artist, but most of their work is actually NSFW/lewd so I don't wanna deal with what happens when you link to that.

If Super Mario Run is as good as Sonic Runners, I may pick up the game. I'm sad that the latter is no longer playable tho...

Gameplay wise, it's not as good as Sonic Runners, or many mobile runners, by a long shot.

The game isn't broken or anything, it's just...watered down NSMB. It doesn't have the depth that a lot of other mobile runners have. The Sonic running games, the Rayman ones, Run Sackboy Run!, and Jetpack Joyride are all examples off the top of my head of much better mobile runner games.

However, it completely lacks microtransactions and you only pay that initial €10/$10. The content you get isn't really worth that, though...

Personally, I will wait for a price drop or the first content update (which would at least confirm they will update the game). Rosalina being added would also be a big incentive for me, but not necessarily required. As long as I can get some sort of confirmation they will keep adding content.

 

[Char Seasalina]

I think that if they made a running stage where you'd require lots of air coverage, Rosalina and maybe Peach would be fitting to do that stage. I'd imagine asteroids, mini planetoids and a big starry sky as the background. A Comet Observatory would be additional, to add flavor. Something like this sounds like it'll be worth it.

This is what I had in mind.

I'm also hoping that there'll be a Rosalina costume in Miitomo soon.

EDIT: I got my Rosalina amiibo a few days ago, on Tuesday. I took some pictures today, and the amiibos look really good.

Spoiler: Amiibos!

Sorry about the quality. I wish I knew how to do HD.

Here's a really nice re-orchestration of Rosalina's theme.

Alright, I'm done with the semester and I'm finally free once again (for a month)! Not yet a "permanent" vacation, but still. Whoo! Merry ****ing Christmas! Man that was awful. Hopefully I didn't fail everything. I'm hoping everyone has been getting their proper daily dosage of Rosalina? I'm gonna see if I can find a way to put Rosalina and Luma on top of my tree. Plus since I'm making more, I get to spoil my family more this year even if they won't let me.

That one's been around for quite a while. A lot of people seem to really enjoy the concept of schoolgirl Rosalina. Definitely a nice idea for making her look super cute.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Notice anything different about the following screenshot?

What I basically did was replace Rosalina's series icon with the Grand Star. Sadly, I'm not able to cover the results screen icon, since it's a model (not a strong point for me).

I got log out from my account for a very very long time (With stayed login on)... I thought my account got hacked at first, but after I type my password everything seems fine.

Yeah, this month's artwork by the artist is actually Rosalina. The artwork looks hot (Of course.) and there's really nothing much to be nsfw, but not gonna post it anyway.
