But that's my favorite character in MK8!

She's a worse Peach who just reinforces the notion that all females in the Mario universe are beautiful and pretty and have light skin and blue eyes. The otaku crowd sure does love her, though. Nintendo is smart for finally capitalizing on this... demographic. I don't actively dislike Rosalina, but I'm disappointed that she's now being given priority over Daisy and Waluigi, who have been shamefully underutilized. Tan Daisy is best Daisy. There's also a member of the competitive Mario Kart community who literally believes he is married to the character and will quit games if he sees other people using her. Scary stuff.

I remember reading an article on this, that theorized the appeal with Rosalina is that she's an actual woman, whereas Peach and Daisy are just girls.

Them getting rid of Tan Daisy is still the weirdest thing.
Messed up my post earlier but at least you still understood what I meant.
Yeah I guess things could be worse for daisy.

...Well then.
I still think it's the story books and that shes "hot".
All silliness aside, my first impression of Rosalina was, "Wait, that's not Peach? Why did they make a new character who looks so much like Peach?"
Sakurai adding extra details like the star pattern on her dress helped improve her design, IMO.
I guess her personality is that she's... "cool?" I dunno, she seems like the person who'd reply to your jokes with stone-cold silence.

She's older but looks way younger :| Her dress looks like a god damn child's nightgown.

What's wrong, with them all being "beautiful"?
Well, yeah I mean she could be in Waluigi's category, also, I'm pretty sure she started out white.

Didnt we have exactly the same thread like 3 weeks ago lol
Yeah I like her. Also Estela is a much better name for her.

I actually like her. She doesn't get kidnapped every 5 minutes and isn't overall useless in most games like another Princess I know other than Smash and SMB2/3D World. She gets things done even if its with Mario's help but she doesn't come off as this pointless individual that sits in a castle baking cakes and shit with equally useless servants/bodyguards like a certain unnamed Princess.
I abhor Peach with a fiery passion. Only reason why I got her amiibo was for collection completion purposes.
Sorry Peach fans, but that's how I feel.

Personally I don't care for her at all and can't say I've ever played as her in any game she appeared in (she came too late in 3D world. I was already too used to everyone else to even bother) But I see she has a following and if Nintendo wants to cater to them I don't see why not. I do however very much appreciate Nintendo fleshing out the mario cast with captain toad, the re introduction of the koopalings and Nabbit. I feel like more can be done with them in the future and I hope EAD finds interesting ways to utilize them along with making more characters. Fuck generic toads

I think she has pretty hair.

Yeah I love the storybook sequences in SMG and it opens up Rosalina as a person with a moving backstory.
But now she's just another mascot for Nintendo to cram into fanservicey franchises like Smash and MK. So whatever.

Not to mention Baby Rosalina contradicts the storybook. Bosman even ranted about that, lol.

Compared to Mario's well-established, fleshed out character.

boring. but then, all the Nintendo princesses are. Peach only works because she's supposed to be the protoypical princess, and Zelda was only good when they made her a pirate (who immediately became boring when she turned into a princess).

I love her. I love the peekaboo hairstyle, her teal dress, and the fact that she lives on a spaceship that travels through the universe. But overall Peach>Rosalina>Daisy
All Mario characters are shit.
It's just that Rosalina is shittier along with a few other characters.

Seems like this thread had effect!
Absolutely the best female Mario-character though, love her design and she actually has a decent backstory in Galaxy. Not that most Mario games need fleshed-out threedimensional characters (Sunshine *shudders*), but she provides a nice counterbalance to bland princess stereotypes like Peach.

I don't really think much about her at all. I mean, it's not like she has a personality. She's just another Mario princess (ok, maybe more like a queen), this time in space. She's fine, but, eh? I have no idea why some people are so obsessed with her.
Gotta get on that Galaxy 1 and 2.
Amazing. Her storyline in Galaxy was just the best thing story-related I've seen to come out of a non-RPG Mario game and I love her character design.
what the fuck
is this guy seriously an actual member of the competitive Mario Kart community? How does he play in tournaments when others play as her?

Wished I had a Lucina doll like that. I should go make one.

Yeah, she was fine in Galaxy. Had a cute little backstory and all that. But her being everywhere now just feels forced, like she's only there because they needed a new character and didn't have anyone else. She's not an interesting character.

I guess thats no different from other female fictional characters, like Elsa, the main problem with Rosalina is that she looks similar to Peach.
Also, Daisy and...Waluigi? these are the characters that are better than Rosalina and should be more focused on?
I don't have any especially strong feelings about any of the Mario princesses, but...
I'd probably agree with this.

She's the best Mario lady character so far, which is damning with faint praise admittedly, but still, I like her more than Peach and Daisy, and got her Amiibo today infact.
Certainly could do nicely in a leading role too. Galaxy 3 with her as the star would be ace.

On the note of her being the star of Galaxy 3, well I wouldn't mind her being playable but I'd still want Mario and maybe Luigi to be playable. If they wanted to make something like CTTT where it's a game centered around her though, then her being the only one playable would be fine.
