[Htown]

Rosalina >> Peach

also nice that her special ability is the spin from Mario Galaxy

 

[Zalman]

Needs more Wario and Waluigi.

 

[Neo Child]

basically 3dland upscaled

 

[sixteen-bit]

I wonder who the 4th character in Tropical Freeze is.

 

[Nyoro SF]

EDIT: WHOOPS

 

[Kajiba]

I didn't expect that. Need see how that cat suit looks like.

[Muzy72]

Thanks for the image, I'll put it in the OP

 

[SloaneRisette]

I wonder who the 4th character in Tropical Freeze is.

Rosalina.

 

[daakusedo]

I wonder who the 4th character in Tropical Freeze is.

Also Rosalina.

edit : lol

 

[Galang]

So glad at this! Will be alternating between her and Toad like in Mario Kart. Hopefully this trend continues.

 

[RobFox64tm]

Why the fuck can't it be next friday already?!

 

[treason]

based ead

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I wonder who the 4th character in Tropical Freeze is.

Yellow Toad.

 

[Lijik]

it was predictable after gaf discovered the observatory in that big official art, but still a fun addition

(would have preferred waluigi)

(gimmie year of waluigi nintendo)

 

[Master Milk]

I was trying to wait until December . . . oh well, Day 1.

 

[BassForever]

Nintendo should just go all in and make Wario, Waluigi, and Yoshi playable.

 

[Gamerloid]

She's lovely. Amazing character from Super Mario Galaxy with a nicely flushed out background thanks to the story books.

She quickly became one of my favorites in the Mario franchise. Add her to Mario Party, Golf, and future Tennis games too!

 

[Clov]

I wonder who the 4th character in Tropical Freeze is.

Funky Kong; plays exactly like DK, but has sunglasses and that 1990s appeal

On topic, this is some pretty awesome news! It's going to be interesting playing as her. Also, it looks like there's some Galaxy inspired stages in the game.

I wonder who the 4th character in Tropical Freeze is.

Spoiler

Rosalina.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Poor Daisy, forever neglected to sport games.

 

[zroid]

god these are going to be the hardest 9 days

 

[Drillow]

Dat Gusty Garden theme remix :')

 

[Billy Big Bollocks]

Here is the link to the trailer from the UK Nintendo direct. It contains other spoilers!

[ErrorMacro]

YES! I love Rosalina to death, and play as her every chance I get.

I now want to see her small, cat and fire form!

 

[ZeroGravity]

Best Mario character from the best Mario game. So fucking hyped.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Was mildly interested in this.

Dat Gusty Garden theme remix :')

Now I'm hyped.

 

[Moxx19]

Dat Gusty Garden remix. My god.

 

[jet1911]

Those "10 things you need to know" got me really hyped!

 

[Aquamarine]

That's fantastic! We needed more female playable characters in Mario games...and Rosalina is perfect for the job!

I really hope she will show up in Super Smash Bros. now that she's a playable character in 3D World.

 

[jmizzal]

Nintendo should just go all in and make Wario, Waluigi, and Yoshi playable.

They will be day 1 DLC lol

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I want her to be easy to unlock because I want to play as Rosalina from the start but she might be over powered?

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

Rosalina is up there with Wii fit trainer as possible they most exitin..i... zzzzzzzzz snore

 

[thecouncil]

Didn't someone around here predict this based on an image where the Galaxy hub was shown in the background?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

damn servers would not allow me to post

 

[Box of Bunnies]

I want her to be easy to unlock because I want to play as Rosalina from the start but she might be over powered?

She'll probably be a "beat the game" unlock.

Just more incentive to play through it again!

 

[breakfuss]

Wow, mario is starting to look kind of creepy with the increased polygon count. Like the king mascot from the Burger King commercials.

 

[Yado]

This is so disrespectful to Daisy.

 

[Effect]

Looking at that picture it seems like there could very well be a Galaxy styled level or world. The observatory hidden in the previous images wasn't just for kicks now that Rosalina is playable. You see it much closer now. Though I would like to see Daisy playable in the platformer one of these days.

 

[Shinta]

So she has the air spin like NSMB U? That's her unique move? If so, she's my new main. The air spin is the best move added to Mario since Mario 64. Does she glide like Peach too?

Also, I don't know if you guys noticed but Mario has a rolling attack now that looks to replace the head first dive from 64. FINALLY.

 

[Village]

Could this open this up for DLC characters later down the line? Possible cosmetic changes to what cinematic story elements they have?

 

[The_Intruder]

Didn't someone around here predict this based on an image where the Galaxy hub was shown in the background?

You mean this? (but it was not just based on the galaxy hub) http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=704419

 

[Smiles and Cries]

This is so disrespectful to Daisy.

Daisy is also greater than PEACH but

Rosalina >>>>>>>>> PEACH

 

[Busaiku]

I shouldn't have watched the trailer.
BUT I AM SO FREAKING HYPED

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Well I know which character I'm going to play as now.

That's actually the air spin from Galaxy, it does damage to enemies around and gives much more air time than the one from NSBU. It doesnt look like she glides.

The roll attack comes back from 3d land, and it probably wont work on enemies just like 3d land, just blocks and boxes (helps to avoid jumping and keep the speed in speedruns). It does allow you to do a fast long jump from standing still by chaining roll into jump. It was awesome to use when you got to the top of the stairs before a flag with no speed.

This is amazing! I've always liked Rosalina so I like that she's becoming a recurring character in the Mario Universe.
