That's not really a good reason not to hate someone. I mean Miki from iM@S is meant to be pretty but she's pretty much my least favourite of the group.

Welp time to stop stalking you I see.
I'm a Haruka fan. It comes with the territory.

Probably got a point there, but they managed it with Peach that one time.
Back to stalking you again then.
Yet Captain Toad and Luigi can? If the game play is solid then Rosalina will have no trouble carrying a game herself.
Oh lord. Really now?
While I agree with your general sentiment, using Luigi seems a bit weird.
I think Rosalina could support a Galaxy continuation - she is a space traveler after all, which gives her an excuse to go out and explore the cosmos. Add some brilliant gameplay, beautiful graphics and wonderful orchestration and I doubt many would complain. Plus, it'd allow Mario to forge his own path.
Of course, this is theoretical at best.
I kind of want to see a Rosalina game to see fan made comic strips of Daisy mentally breaking down. Some examples:
Mario 3DWorld:
Smash 4:
Bonus Comic strip of how Rosalina will replace Peach:
Edit: Okay figure it out and fixed.
Reposting for the new page
Rosalina already has a double jump and it can also be used to attack enemies without a power-up. She's already okay in my book for her own game.

Yes, I wanna Rosalina game.
Would be nice to have like an action adventure game. Something different from the reg Platformers the series is none for and matches her deeper backstory.
Also wanna new Strikers game to see how she cuts loose when she's not being the responsible mother figure. Guess we might see that in Smash.

Daisy doesn't count apparently. Not too many people (from what I seen) played the Land games on the Gameboy so they think she is a Mario spinoff character.

In what game? I always thought Toad became captain Toad and went on his own adventure, while the blue and yellow Toads joined Mario & co.

Honestly, Daisy could work well as a protagonist. What they would have to do though is give her her own set of characters to work with. Much like DKC or Wario Ware. Draw from the land games as inspiration, character wise. Put her in a type of platformer that's foreign for Nintendo (Endless running/Autorun), add in some slight RPG elements (Quests/Stats/Gear), top it off with a dash of cutscenes/dialogue within and in-between the levels (With maybe some KI:U level writing) and you have a winner.
I mean, the enemies alone would make the subseries pop compared to the other games:
Now that EA screwed up SimCity...
Sim Galaxy, where you can design a world from the Comet Observatory and then go down and explore as Rosalina with Galaxy style physics. Including the weather, etc...
Throw in some Sims like individual characters with needs, and nearby planet objects affecting water physics and you have yourself a game. Add some minigames, such as a Zelda fishing and Luma racing, and you have a better game.
Hey, she is supposed to be the God of the Mario Universe, right?

I would love it, but hopefully it would have Rosalina in a somewhat action oriented role, which shouldn't be too out of the question given her appearances in 3D World and Smash. I essentially, don't want them to Princess Peachify her potential types of games.

I do seriously wonder how you can hate rosalina, daisy fans feeling insecure because rosa got popular is petty, but other people seem so dumbfounded at it or downright hate it but its extremely simple for it, its because people find something in her character they relate/connect to or even admire.
I for instance like that rosalina is always calm and is never the damsel in distress, I also like that she is a strong mushroom goddess who dont need no man, I also love her hairstyle and her backstory doesnt hurt either.

I get that this is probably a joke but if any of the three female Mario characters can be compared to Silver, it'd be Daisy.
Silver, serves no real unique purpose that isn't tied to the plot of Sonic 06, he's the fourth rival to Sonic, meaning he's really only occupying a role that's already been occupied by Metal Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow (Jet was later, I think.) In the same way, Daisy serves no unique role, she's the same type of character as Peach, she's just there to be saved. Rosalina in contrast to Peach and Daisy, is not a princess, does not need to be saved, and serves a role in her debut game that is unique to her and can coincide with Peach's role.
The reason I like Rosalina, is mainly that she's a unique character, with a unique story, and a unique home. Plus she debuted in what I consider my favorite game.

Hopefully never.
Unless it's a fashion game.

A unique character who is identical to Peach in everything but hair and voice.
Well, technically that still counts as unique if we have to be literal...
I didn't realize peach was a leader from fucking space. There is more a difference between Rosalina and Peach, than Peach and Daisy.

Actually her skin-tone is lighter, and she's about 1.5 times as tall, but ok. At least she's doesn't have the exact same height as Peach, or serve the exact same role as a existing character.
Edit: I'm being a little too mean, but there are visual differences between her and Peach, it's easy to just assume that they're the same because they both have Blond hair (Rosalina's is a little lighter in tone), but there's more to her than what you seem to remember.

Besides having blonde hair, she looks nothing like peach, your reminding me of that dude that use to be in smashgaf and tried to compare silluottes between peach and rosalina to try and prove that she would be a clone of peach but the silluottes looked completely different from eachother, even the dress is different.

Super Rosalina Galaxy.
They can also then do Super Princess Daisy, and lead into a an epic team up game with Peach, Daisy and Rosalina having to save the universe.

It's too bad none of that factors in in the games where you actually play her and you're just doing the same thing as everyone else but with the character who has the personality of a 2x4.
Smash will change that, but it doesn't explain everyone's obsession with wanting to play Rosalina right now.
Well sometimes she's taller than Peach. They haven't really been able to nail that down yet. Or her voice, for that matter. It's really strange how people are obsessed with a character that has been a work in progress since 2007 but at the same time will tell you she has an amazing personality. Hell, someone even put her in the same league as Luigi in this thread.
And, come on, saying Daisy and Peach share the same role is really stretching it. When's the last time you rescued Daisy?
foxuzamaki
Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
yeah its a tongue and cheek joke that some eventually took more seriously on both sides
In every game she's in daisy is the same class as peach. In MK rosalina is a heavy character rather than a medium and in 3d world she has her own special ability as well as a different running speed. You also never rescue daisy because she never appears outside the sports and party games
She plays differently than peach, and your criticism can literally be applied to Daisy as well. You are talking out of both sides of your face.

Actually I think her height is nailed down, much like Luigi's and Peach's height. She's her correct height in: SMG, SMG 2, MKW, MK8, and Smash. However in games like 3D World she as well as everyone else is shrunken down to the same height as Mario so developers don't have to design levels based on several different heights. As for her personality, there's a little bit there, not much, but than again I've never felt Daisy had as much as people make her out to have, only once or twice have I gotten a tomboy charm from her. For the most part, the most I know about her is that she likes to scream her own name.
The last time you had to save her was the only time she appeared in a mainline game, and in that game she has the same or a very similar sprite as Peach, she's basically just Peach but with a different name. Now compare that to Rosalina. Daisy debuts in the same type of role as Peach, Rosalina in her debut is not only a main character serving a role that is different to Peach's, but she also actively helps you rescue Peach.
I'm not really trying to diss Daisy, I like her a lot, but to say Rosalina is just another Peach is somewhat short-sighted.

Classes don't fundamentally change how characters play. They have varying stat based strengths and weaknesses, sure, but you're doing the same exact thing whether you're playing Baby Mario or Bowser.
Even then, characters in the same classes aren't always identical. There's a reason Daisy + Mach Bike is so hated in MK Wii and Peach + Mach Bike is not.
The same thing goes for 3D World. Her ability feels shoehorned in, like poor Toad's. Luigi and Peach, otoh, make me feel like I'm playing the game in an entirely different way than the other three.
So she shared the Peach role once in the 80s, and despite looking, acting, and sounding wildly different since Double Dash, people still insist she's a palette swap. Strangely, the other kind, soft-spoken blonde woman donning a crown is the most unique character in the Mario universe.
Just like when I say Cynthia is Masuda's Lightning.

Toads are a group, like Yoshis. I don't think there is a recurring "main" Toad, unless it's the red capped one? But then again blue Toad has kind of taken over the spotlight recently. Can Toads change the color of their caps or is it a part of their body?
The red Toad is the main one, the one that hung out with Mario & co until the Galaxy games, where he became the captain of the Toad brigade. Blue Toad took his place in Mario's group, but the red Toad has his own levels in Super Mario 3D World and soon he's gonna star in a game based on those levels.
That's because of colour limitations on the NES, he was red in the SNES and GBA remakes.
Mario's killer backstory qualifies him for anything it seems
Anyway if you have objections to how interesting she is, a new game starring her is a great way to make her more interesting and important.
But her backstory isn't interesting. It's just more aggressively written than Mario.
Mario and Peach have barebones characterization that establishes their individuality before turning them into blank slates for the sake of the player.
Rosalina can't offer that, and the alternative, a character with good backstory, is absolutely not there. Her entire generic existence is a failure, with nothing substantial to offer to anyone. If she wasn't attractive, I have trouble believing her rabid fanbase would even be remotely the size it is now.
Rosalina is Koizumi's baby.
He stayed up at night in the office writing Rosalina's backstory in while Miyamoto wasn't there. I respect that. And I respect Rosalina for being a small piece of creative freedom that wouldn't have been accepted without some sneakage.
Also, she's probably the only Mario character who would fit the bill for what a feminist would want from a female character.
