If anyone is wondering about the name it comes from GoNintendo.com PJ

How does it come from there? Wa _T^C_@^Y 23:50, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

GoNintendo says what her name is. Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!

She was first seen in a magazine (I think it was Famitsu) ad THAT had her name. GoNintendo just had an English translation. Salty^Talk! 23:38, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Saying she's resembles a White Mage seems too much of a stretch to me. MamaWaluigi 17:25, 24 July 2007 (EDT)

Princess?

How do we really know she's a princess? Just because she has a crown? Max2 (talk)

They officially called her "Princess Rosetta" so she is a princess... ~Uniju(T-C-E)

Yes thats true they did call her Princess Rosetta I saw it somewhere before User:Daiul-Ayink

Oh. I saw like 3 videos and she called herslef "Rosetta". Sorry. Max2 (talk)

I've checked every single word in the game. she never ever calls herself PRINCESS Rosalina. The only words used to refer to her are Rosalina, and Mama. Never Princess. ~Μαριοθανικαλ 18:25, 20 November 2007 (EST)

Just having a crown does not make her a princess. I get a crown in my Burger King Kids Meal. Does that make me a king? Well technically I am a king, but still. No it doesn't.King Boo

Does that mean we should move the page? --Trogga 11:35, 15 January 2008 (EST)

I am Zero! Well actually, a princess have big responsibilities, Peach does little in the mushroom kingdom, Daisy...... what does she do in sarasaland anyways? Rosalina in the other hand takes care of the whole freakin' universe, so I'll consider her a princess. Probably a year or two back there was a proposal to change the page Rosalina into Princess Rosalina, even though I made a good point and I consider her a princess, I would of oppose that proposal until she is called Princess Rosalina in future games. Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk)

Rosetta or Rosalina?

I've been reading the info, and all its contents refers to Rosetta, the original name of that princess (in other words, from Japan). Rosalina is the European version, so, it would have to move Rosalina to Rosetta again. ¢oincoll€ctor The reason is that Europe will receive the game early than expected, only for the Super Smash Bros Brawl push back in the continent.

From what I've heard, AND from what I've seen by playing a copy of the full game at Gamestop, her US name is Rosalina. Bob Greenlake 20:52, 4 November 2007 (EST) Okay, I think this needs to be moved. The latest Nintendo Power issue confirmed that Rosalina is infact her US name. Bob Greenlake 21:00, 7 November 2007 (EST) It's only a few more days, lets wait till the game comes out to find out whether it is Rosetta or Rosalina. Mariofanical

Appearance/Trivia

Isn't this the first Mushroom Kingdom/Mario series human to have an eye color other than blue? (I think they're green, but I guess it's arguable.) If so, I want to put it in the trivia section, even though it is, ahem, trivial.

No. I put the picture on paint, enlarged it, placed a grid on it, and every single box of the grid that covers the eye has a color that is a shade of blue.

Concept Art?

Do we need the concept art here? Also, I heard from another user that Nintendo Power guides were discontinued, so this was false? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 06:01, 11 November 2007 (EST)

Yeah, the concept art should go. :| My Bloody Valentine

Rosalina

How did you find her past?!?! Where did you find the story of Princess Rosalina Princess Butterfly 06:25, 14 November 2007 (EST)

It's from some library in the comet observatory. Peachycakes 3.14

I just making sure it true (in her story book I'm in chapter 5.) Princess Butterfly 17:11, 15 November 2007 (EST)

I'm finished ~Μαριοθανικαλ 19:06, 18 November 2007 (EST)

Concept Art: Keep or Delete?

Delete

1. King Boo- Nintendo power guides were discontinued. And it's just not really important.

Keep

1. Groden^{E T C El}
2. Nintendo has claimed Prima to be their official guidebook partners. Therefore all Prima content is official and can be kept.Knife (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2008 (EST)
3. Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! Per Knife. It's official art anyway, and it helps us find out more about Beta Rosalina.

Related to Peach

She was original planned to be related to Peach? Source please! HyperToad

I heard a few days ago from some page that peach and rosalina were really sisters or relatives,but nintendo changed their mind...User:pathfinderwii

Yup there were suppost to be sister but Nintendo decided to keep it as a beta element. Grapes

She in SSBB

I read in Rosalina's bio that she is going to be in SSBB. (NPC) Is this true? Source please. Princess Butterfly 11:12, 26 January 2008 (EST)

We've had various claims, but no one was able to give a source. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:24, 26 January 2008 (EST)

The closest one is GoNintendo, yet they included no image. Paper Jorge ( Talk·Contributions)·

everyone probably already knows this, but Rosalina never made the Final cut. Same situation w/ Darkrai. They were at whobby 2008, but never made the final cut as AT(Rosalina) or Pokeball(Darkrai). They each, however made the cut as regular trophies. I know. It sux. :( Manaphyboy14 23:25, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, I heard Tails was gonna be an Assist Trophy too. Neox 14:44, 17 July 2009 (EDT)

darkrai in brawl? (daydreams over how cool that would be...) Lu-igi board 14:17, 16 July 2009 (EDT)

I am Zero! Rosalina is not in brawl as a trophy, is she? If she is, show me proof. Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk)

Trophy Descriptions (SSBB) lists all Brawl trophies. The word "Rosalina" can't be found anywhere on that page. So no. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:27, 16 July 2009 (EDT)

Mario Kart Wii?

She really isn't in Mario Kart Wii, is she? I mean that sounds really stupid, also she is a heavy weight character? She is the only one who has something circling her, this sounds more like a rumor, is she actually confirmed by Nintendo?
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Koolkid123 (talk).

She is in the game. The game is out in Japan and Europe, and these versions include Rosalina, with a Luma circling her. 'Nuff said. --Grandy02 12:44, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

She's not heavy weight, but large. They don't have weight, but size classes for the game. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:47, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

So she's possibly a middle. Palkia47

...What? No, she is a heavy-weight. We all know how skinny she is, okay. She's still a heavy-weight though. Fixitup

Not Really a Quote

I don't think “Go! They're inside. Hurry!” is really a quote. A quote shows something about a character. This is just Rosalina saying something. It's not a real quote. Does anyone agree/disagree? EnPeached 19:49, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

She said it. It's a quote. That's what a quote is. Go Luma :) Bowser's Luma

But even though the dialouge is right, it's considered to be a "generic quote" and wouldn't make sense to post it on her page. The ones we have on there right now are the best ones worth mentioning in relation to Rosalina so far. :) --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 16:33, 7 October 2009 (EDT)

???

How can she be in Mario Kart Wii? One hundred years OBIVISALLY haven't passed... Nintendofan146 21:14, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Then what happens in between 100 years on her turf? I'm not sure... but she made becuase it's a spin-off game. Green Guy Talk!^E

Height?

I read in her physcial description that she is considerably taller then Peach and Daisy are we sure about this? I have directly compared official Mario Kart Wii character art and Mario Galaxy screen shots and reward photos using photoshop opacity and direct measuring and she appears to be the same height or only a few centremeters taller at most.

The only art that seems to show proof of height difference is the Mario Kart Wii congratulations screens, where yes after a couple of tests I found she was obviously larger. Although only slightly. However this is still very little evidence.

I am not saying it should be removed but, perhaps a slight rewording is needed. The description seems to imply she is the same height as Waluigi. I find this difficult to believe as she IS the same height as him when he stands in his usual posture of hunched and knees bent but, if he stood up straight I doubt that Rosalina would be his height at all. We must remember Waluigi's true height is rarely shown as he is always partially crouching to bring him down to the other characters levels. I'm willing to admit she seems larger then the other girls but, not that tall?

Of course if anyone can bring forth any other evidence (on either side of my debate) I'd really be interested. So thoughts please?

I do suggest however that the description be changed to taller then the other Princesses but, the Waluigi height comparison removed. - Despot joil

...Done. :| My Bloody Valentine

Er ... thanks ... sorry I tend to write essays because I'm trying to back up my ideas and I feel bad changing other people's edits without explaining ... :)Despot joil

Sometimes the best move is to edit it first. If someone reverts it, then you can bring it to the talk page to try and work something out. ;) My Bloody Valentine

Identical articles

Rosalina and Princess Rosalina are exactly the same, but two different articles. Which one should be the main one?
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by EnPeached (talk).

...Wut? Princess Rosalina is a redirect to Rosalina... :| My Bloody Valentine

Long Quote Not Good

I don't think articles should have quotes as long as that at the top. Then again, it's probably because Rosalina never shuts up. Oh, and is she a princess? WTF?!

Dom »» McTalk

A quote is a quote, regardless of how long it is. And she's not a princess. My Bloody Valentine

Then why does the article call her a princess multiple times? --Grandy02 04:18, 20 June 2008 (EDT)

Because someone was mistaken. :| My Bloody Valentine

she is a princess

she is an oficial princess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Crystal lucario 06:41, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

Per Crystal Lucario. She is NOT a princess. My Bloody Valentine

She is never called in the game princess. She does is a leader of the Luma's, but it doesn't make you a princess. Luma's call her mama instead. However, Bowser is the king of the koopa's but his article name is just Bowser. And Daisy is only called a princess in Super Mario Land and after it never again (this is also said on the European mario site). rend (talk) (edits)

She wears a crown, that's the only thing we can say for sure. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:34, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

About Daisy, she is actually called a princess again multiple times, in her various character bios within the games. But I don't remember that Rosalina was called a princess in the two games she's in. --Grandy02 11:58, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

In most of the spinoff games, the princesses aren't called princesses, but just there normal names. You can't really get information from those games. Rosalina is never called a princess, but she is royal in some way. Lumas call her their mother. It isn't Princess Rosalina, but Mama Rosalina. rend (talk) (edits)

I wouldn't say she's not a princess. I'd rather say we don't know whether she is a princess. We could also point out that it is very likely that she is one. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:01, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

True. I understand what you mean. I noticed Peach didn't call herself a princess in Galaxy, but we all know she is one. It's the same with Rosalina (she called herself just Rosalina). But we don't know what for leader she is. Queen, princess or just mother. rend (talk) (edits)

Cobold, we can't say something is likely in an article unless there's a source attached, right? (because if there is no source, it's just speculation) I could swear that in the pre-release data for the game she was called a princess, though. If someone wants to root around on IGN.com I'm sure we could find it. Stumpers! 02:41, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

I thought that was a beta Elements. (I check ING.com) Grapes

I think she is a princess because on the storybook, pages with the hill and the tree shows a castle in the background, that's probably Rosalina's. SirSwoop 22:33, 26 April 2010 (EDT)

I found proof

I found some proof she is a pricess. This is the first part of Rosalina's bio in Super Mario Galaxy. The whole bio can be found at the end of Rosalina's page.

Not much is known about Rosalina, the lonely princess who wanders the cosmos in the Comet Observatory, a giant starship that travels the celestial expanse.

Move the page? rend (talk) (edits)

If nothing else, we gotta make sure the infobox has the prefix. Good find. Stumpers! 13:51, 17 August 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. I didn't found more proof. But are we going to move the page? rend (talk) (edits)

I'd wait for more support. It'd be a pitty to go through deleting the Princess Rosalina redirect and moving this page just to have to revert all of that. If you don't get enough attention, bring it to the main page talk or proposals page (if you make a proposal be sure to mention your proof!) Stumpers! 01:42, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

I think we shouldn't move the article until her Princess name starts to become more reocurring. Though we should mention somewhere in the article that she's a princess. Knife (talk) 17:03, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

Right - just like how King Bowser Koopa isn't as prominent as "Bowser," so we have the article named "Bowser." Stumpers! 23:26, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

More proof found in two packs of Mario Kart Wii trading cards. One pack had a holo Rosalina and the other had a plain one, but the text on the back was the same: "This Princess is loved by all Luma." It also calls her the first female heavyweight.

Rosalina's Mother?

Is it worth giving Rosalina's mother a section in the article or giving her an article of her own? (even though it may only be a stub)? Just a thought I personally don't mind either way. Despot joil

Many Rosaline Questions

I need some help figuring this one out. What exactly is Rosalina's home planet?

And what do you make of the fact that Rosalina's mother looks almost (if not exactly) like Rosalina looks now?

Also, what planet are the Comet Observatory and the planetoids of the Gateway Galaxy hovering over? Is that Mushroom World? -- Son of Suns (talk)

Yeah, it's the mushroom world. Because it says she visits her home planet every something years. Aluigi, The Luigi Legend! Whut Stuff? 21:40, 6 December 2008 (EST)

So the Gateway Galaxy, Good Egg Galaxy and Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor are all in orbit around Mushroom World then, right? -- Son of Suns (talk) P.S. What do y'all make of those big Starman outlines on the surface of the planet?

Question

Does anyone know if Rosalina is gonna be in any other games besides mario galaxy and mario kart wii? Someone wrote she would be in mario and sonic at the winter olimpics, but that had since been removed. I really need an answer now, I have asked on many websites and I have had no reply!!!! --Daaviiid 15:16, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

Super Sluggers?

On Dry Bowser's Page, it states she was planned to be present. I can't find this anywhere else on this site, though.Nintendofan146 19:18, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

The information in question was really not needed on that page (I just removed it). Second, I believe when Rosalina was "introduced", Namco Bandai might have been in the latter part of development of Mario Super Sluggers, so there's a chance they were not aware of her existence. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 20:52, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

Profile Image

Why is her profile image so small? Daisy's and Peach's are a lot bigger. Is there any fixing this? Pyve 14:17, 4 June 2009 (EDT)

The thumbnails you mean? Because the pic itself is bigger than Daisy's. It's probably because that Rosalina's pic is broader than the other two. I looked at the editable version, and I see that Rosalina's on the Profile is 215 pixels, while Daisy's just 200, and Daisy's pic is still bigger, because of that Rosalina's pic is just broader than Daisy's. Hope that helps you. rend (talk) (edits)

Princess Peach is rosalina's mother?

I'm not sure if anyone know this already but i think something secret about Rosalina http://kinsmangames.com/2007/12/16/the-secret-of-princess-rosalina/ do you think it true. User:Lindsayoris15/sig

The blog entry there is more of an assumption to me; it's his guy's own opinion regarding his conclusions. We aren't allowed to post probable conclusions here on the Wiki itself. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 00:44, 12 October 2009 (EDT)

Super Mario Galaxy 2

I think it’s time to start including the characters affiliations with Super Mario Galaxy 2. As of now, her only known appearance in the second game takes place during Super Mario Galaxy 2’s ending cutscene. Are there possibly other appearances of the character during, say perhaps… hidden cutscenes? Doriguin 10:00, 23 May 2010 (EST)

Yeah, I think we should start that. I got the game today, and sometimes, Baby luma will receive a letter saying something like "My dear baby Luma, I know you're ok and i know you're helping someone [...] may the Stars shine down on you" or something like that, AND when you open the letter, we clearly hear Rosalina's voice. Plus there's a little star stamp on the letter. So Rosalina's sending letters to baby Luma.Sambiss

Actually, in the infobox, the "affiliation" is already there... "Luma" and "Comet Observatory". Luma refers to any type encountered in both Super Mario Galaxy installments, so I believe we've got this already accounted for. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 21:16, 23 May 2010 (EDT)

What do you mean? Sorry, I'm stupid XD Sambiss
