| ==History==
| |
| Mercedes Rose was born in the [[United States of America]], in {{wp|Salem, Oregon}}. She eventually took up acting and does work in commercials and advertising. Her introduction to voice-acting came in 2001 when her agent called her down to an audition without telling her it was a voiceover role until she arrived. Always working on expanding her skills, Mercedes went along with it and has been doing professional voiceovers ever since. While she still does live-action spots, she favors voice-work and has even created a school dedicated to sharing the skills of a voiceover career, [http://www.voiceoverdrivingschool.com Voiceover Driving School]. Mercedes Rose also has her own in-home studio which includes state-of-the-art equipment and software.

| Prior to getting the role of Rosalina, Rose had never seen a ''Super Mario'' game, only having played ''{{wp|Pac-Man}}'' and ''{{wp|Space Invaders}}''. For her audition for the role of Rosalina, Rose used her "natural mom voice," as Rosalina was described as the mother of the [[Luma]]s. Rose states one of the things that attracted her the most to the role was the fact that Rosalina was the first ''Super 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.
