Rosalina

Rosalina is a recurring character that debuted in Super Mario Galaxy, first appearing in the Gateway Galaxy. She is a very powerful figure, as her duty is to watch over and protect the cosmos, while also serving as the adopted mother of the Lumas. Rosalina's backstory is chronicled in her storybook told by her in the Comet Observatory's Library in Super Mario Galaxy. Nine chapters are unlocked throughout the game, and the last is unlocked by completing the game. Rosalina appears as a unlockable playable character in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. She is unlocked after the player has completed World Star-2: Super Galaxy. This is also the first game where she is voiced by Laura Faye Smith. She has the ability to use the Spin attack, similar to that of Mario and Luigi in the Super Mario Galaxy games, has a very high jump, and has normal traction. She is, however, slower like Princess Peach. This is also the first time Rosalina is playable in a Mario platformer. As with the other characters, she can use all the power-ups in the game, but when she gets one (except the Double Cherry and the Super Star), her Spin attack is replaced with the attack used by that power-up. Although she does not appear physically in Super Mario Maker 2, it is strongly implied Rosalina is Stargazer in the game's story mode, due to her courses taking place in the sky theme during night, which features light gravity, and they allude to both Super Mario Galaxy games. Additionally, her course descriptions involve her pleading to the player to either defeat a major enemy near a planet or use their knowledge of a course part to complete that course. The Rosalina Wig and Rosalina Dress also appear as unlockable outfit parts that can be worn by Miis, both unlocked by clearing 3000 courses. In Super Mario Odyssey, Rosalina makes a cameo as an 8-bit sprite that can be found on a vegetable on the Dark Side of the Moon and a wall on the Darker Side of the Moon. When interacted with, Rosalina performs a spin and the player is given ten coins. Rosalina reappears as a playable character in Mario Kart Tour since the Tokyo Tour. A Super driver, her special skill is the Dash Ring. In the pre-release beta test, however, Rosalina was a Super Rare (former name of High-End) driver whose special skill was the Boomerang Flower; additionally, in said beta test, she was a week 2 spotlight. Another version of Rosalina wearing a dress patterned after the aurora borealis (northern lights), referred to as Rosalina (Aurora), debuted as the first High-End spotlight driver for the Vancouver Tour. Her special skill is the Ice Flower. Rosalina makes her first appearance in the Mario Party series in Mario Party: Island Tour. She is a non-playable character on the space themed board, Rocket Road, where she waits at the end of the board for the winner, and also appears in the celebration for a victory on this board. Rosalina appears as a playable character in Mario Party 10; her first playable appearance in the series. She has her own amiibo board, the Rosalina Board, where it is unlocked if the player places a Rosalina amiibo on the GamePad. Her board is based upon the space themes in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. On a side note, Mario Party 10 is the very first Mario title to have Rosalina as a starting character.
