Baby Rosalina
Baby Rosalina is a minor character in the Mario franchise designed to be the infant counterpart of Rosalina. Baby Rosalina debuted as an unlockable racer in Mario Kart 8, similar to how Baby Daisy was introduced in Mario Kart Wii. She is a lightweight racer, and she shares all of her stats with the other playable babies and Lemmy Koopa. Nin★Maria's staff ghost uses Baby Rosalina if players race on Cloudtop Cruise in Time Trials.
Baby Rosalina returns in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as the game is a remastered port for the Nintendo Switch of Mario Kart 8. She is now available from the start. Her statistics have also been slightly altered. She is still classified as a lightweight character and shares her stats with only Lemmy. Her only known rival is Toadette.
General information
Physical description
With an outfit based on Rosalina's design, Baby Rosalina has pale skin, platinum blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. Her hair is similar to the way Rosalina droops a large bang over her right eye as an adult. Her dress appears to be turquoise with a lighter skirt section. Just like Rosalina, she wears a silver crown instead of the gold crown that Princess Peach and Princess Daisy wear. She has a pacifier like Baby Peach and Baby Daisy.
Baby Rosalina's appearance contradicts her adult form's backstory. Despite Rosalina's Storybook showing Rosalina with red hair as a child, Baby Rosalina has the same color hair as her adult form.
Personality and traits
Baby Rosalina is depicted quite like her adult counterpart. Like Rosalina, she has a more mysterious air about her. She is quieter than most of the other babies and normally acts calm, even when excited. Baby Rosalina's emblem is a Grand Star inside teal bonnet frills.
