Rose states one of the things that attracted her the most to the role was the fact that Rosalina was the first ''Mario'' princess in many years. In a 2016 interview,<ref name="The 'Shroom"/> she made it clear it was not her decision to stop voicing Rosalina, though having worked for [[Nintendo]] gave her many other professional opportunities. | ||
