:I think that it's unlikely that Lady Timpani and Blumiere are Rosalina's parents. You have some good points, though. I think it's safe to say that Rosalina's parents are going to stay unknown unless Nintendo gives more info on exactly who Rosalina's parents and her brother are. At any rate, Lady Timpani and Blumiere being Rosalina's parents is more likely than Peach and Mario being her parents (and Peach being "dead", for that matter), as many fans speculate (including the one in that video). It's very intriguing! -- [[User:FanOfRosalina2007|FanOfRosalina2007]] ([[User talk:FanOfRosalina2007|talk]]) 17:02, November 11, 2023 (EST)

Recently, we have a slight edit war concerning Rosalina's infobox picture. Apparently, some of us are fine with the way she looks in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' picture, otherwise, some of us want to change it because they see nothing wrong with it and besides, updating it to meet current games. I would like to stop this ridiculous edit war once and for all and settle this....like men (and women).

So, I know that lots of users had proposed that, but once again I will propose it: Move Rosalina's page to ''"Princess Rosalina"''. I would say that because she '''is a princess''', and I'm not saying this because of her crown or even her dress. Her Super Mario Galaxy's bio states:{{br}}"Not much is known about Rosalina, the lonely princess who wanders the cosmos in the Comet Observatory, a giant starship that travels the celestial expanse. She is a great friend of the Luma, taking them in and caring for them as if they were her children. But there is a sadness behind her eyes. What has she lost out among the stars?"

My proposal is simple: to decide what artwork should be used for Rosalina in her infobox at the top of the page. In a previous TPP, it was decided to use her ''Super Mario Galaxy'' (SMG) artwork, but it has been changed to her artwork from ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'' (MK). However, the artwork should be from her ''Super Mario Galaxy'' appearance for many reasons, the first having to do with technical aspects of the picture; the MK artwork has a white background, so Rosalina inside a white box inside a light green box, which looks unprofessional and slapped together; in her SMG artwork, however, there is no background. The second is that she is holding a wand in her SMG artwork, and the artwork for each character is to show his/her aspects and personality, so the wand shows readers at a first glance that she has some magical or mysterious aspect to her without reading a word of the article. She is also always depicted with this everywhere except in the ''Mario Kart'' series, due to the fact that she must drive with both hands. The last reason why her SMG artwork should be used is that SMG is a much more recognized and bigger game than MK: SMG has been release in almost every territory where the Wii is sold and has even become a Nintendo Select, whereas MK is an arcade game in Japan (and possibly the US, though even that is unsure); the MarioWiki article for SMG is also far more extensive than it is for MK, making SMG the definitive game. For all of these reasons, Rosalina's artwork for ''Super Mario Galaxy'' should be used for her infobox.

#{{User|Yoshi876}} Personally, I think the current image is fine. I see no issue with the white box, it still looks fine, and doesn't make the image look bad. And Rosalina's personality is more of a calm, mysterious person rather than a magical person which the current image demonstrates fine. And so what if ''Super Mari Galaxy'' is the "definitive game"? The infobox is not a popularity contest and so therefore "genre" has no baring on what goes in there. And why reference the previous TPP? Just because we decided on it that it should be kept then, doesn't mean it has to remain that way for all eternity. And to my final point in this, [[:Template:Character-infobox|policy]], which says "A representative image of the character - ideally, artwork from the most recently released game.", as previously said in this argument the current image is representative of her personality, if it wasn't then we wouldn't have kept that change since May, and also seeing as Arcade is more recent that Galaxy it fits that point as well.

So, apparently there's some debate over whether or not Rosalina is actually classified as a princess. Prima guides seem to be the only source of information, even though the information they put out is finicky at best. ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''{{'}}s trading card bio is the only thing close to official that I can find that actually refers to her as a "princess".

Another piece of information. The 3DS app ''[[List of Mario references in Nintendo video games#Swapdoodle|Swapdoodle]]'' has those doodle lessons, where you draw Nintendo characters (which can be purchased from the shop).

:I don't think the Swapdoodle lessons are quite explicit in categorizing Rosalina as a princess, but it should be supplementary information on top of the more explicit referrals. That last one should probably seal the deal along with the Sticker Book referral. I feel the potential argument that "it's princesses + Rosalina" is a reach that requires unnecessary assumptions. The other potential argument is that all statements on her princess status are always made when she's grouped with Peach and Daisy, but it's essentially the same "princess archetype" argument that I've deconstructed above. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 19:19, 29 August 2018 (EDT)

Other material that classifies Rosalina as a princess is the video “[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z6qYcmlTBoc&pp=ygUOcHJpbmNlc3Mgc3R1ZmY%3D Princess Stuff on Nintendo Switch]” from Nintendo of America’s Youtube channel, where Rosalina is shown as much as Peach and Daisy.

:There’s no denying that Rosalina is considered a princess in North American material, but from what we found so far that doesn’t translate to the title being part of her official name, like in the case of Peach and Daisy. As stated above, this comes from the fact that in Japanese material she’s rather a “mysterious woman”, and as such she isn’t given the “hime” title after the name and her kingdom is never specified either, unlike in the case of Peach and Daisy. So, right now as far as I know the current material doesn’t give a reason to change the page name, we just need to ensure to keep the bit about her being considered a princess in North American material, since this is definitely official.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 04:11, April 17, 2023 (EDT)

Hi, I am aware that there have already been discussions about it, but playing Super Mario Galaxy I realized the existence of numerous evidences showing that Rosalina was born on the initial planet of Gateway Galaxy. In the wiki, Rosalinda's home planet is said to be Earth, because the Star Festival is celebrated every 100 years in the Mushroom Kingdom. And we know that Rosalina visits her home planet every 100 years. In his picture book his home planet is referred to as a tiny blue planet. More precisely, in chapter 7, it is said that on that planet there is a hill dotted with flowers and a terrace on which she looked at the stars as a child. On the initial planet of the Gateway Galaxy there are hills with flowers and a house where the player can enter to return to the comet's observatory. Furthermore, the planet itself is surrounded by a blue light. This does not prove anything, they could be simple concidences. However, in the "Gateway's Purple Coins" mission, Rosalina says: "This planet ... is very dear to me. I was looking forward to visiting this planet with the Lumas every hundred years ..."

Rosalina uses "this" to refer to the planet they are currently on, that is, to the initial planet of the Gateway Galaxy.

== Imgur link ==
[[Rosalina#cite_note-3|One of the sources]] cited in the infobox for Rosalina's "princess" mantle is an [https://imgur.com/a/ReseX Imgur link] to a screenshot of what appears to be the now-unavailable website for the Wii U version of ''Mario Kart 8''. However, all [https://web.archive.org/web/20141015000000*/http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/drivers/ existing snapshots] <small>(web.archive.org)</small> of the website's drivers section, including [https://web.archive.org/web/20171101000000*/http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/wiiu/drivers/ those] <small>(web.archive.org)</small> after the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' site remodelling, show a heading that commands attention to the Koopalings instead of the "Princesses" like in the screenshot. Additionally, I couldn't find any other corner of the website that promotes the game's drivers in a similar fashion. While I'm not really doubting the authenticity of the material in the screenshot (as it shows a patently identical layout and aesthetic to the actual website), I'm wondering if anyone can point to a more convincing archive of it. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:11, April 15, 2022 (EDT)

== A Mario Rabbids Sparks Of Hope section should added since a Rabbid based on her will appear in the game ==
For right now in that section you can say “While Rosalina has not yet been confirmed to appear, a Rabbid based on her likeness known as Rabbid Rosalina will appear in the game” I am surprised this has not been added yet {{User|35.137.242.245}}

== In Mario Rabbids Sparks Of Hope the heroes are apparently looking for Rosalina  ==
In this recent video on the game here (https://youtu.be/rlqV5soG99s) after the Midnite boss fight Beep-0 mentions that they are looking for Rosalina which heavily implies that Rosalina herself will appear in the game at some point. For now can someone please add that detail to the Spark Of Hope section? I would very much appreciate it.{{User|35.137.242.245}}
== You can slightly see Rosalina's right eye  ==
In this picture, you can see a little bit of Rosalina's right eye, meaning that she is not deliberately covering up her eye as there is nothing wrong with it.

== Rosalina’s Stature at the end of SMG ==
This is in regards to the last sentence in Rosalina’s “Physical description” section. Is Rosalina ''physically'' with Mario at the end of Galaxy? The entire scene before he returns home makes it seem like she is speaking to him telepathically or the like. It, at least to me, never felt like the actual statures of Mario or Rosalina were altered from a literal sense. Plus Rosalina has never been shown to alter her size ''without'' the use of an item.{{unsigned|172.56.97.20}}
I don’t remember honestly? You could be right. Anyways, I would like to add that Rosalina’s height is pretty much inconsistent from game to game and many users and fans exaggerate it. She was shown to be very tall in Super Mario Galaxy and that carries to Super Smash Bros., but recent games show her to be just a few inches taller than Peach. Also, she floats. That makes her height difficult to estimate. [[User:Wallowigi|Wallowigi]] ([[User talk:Wallowigi|talk]]) 03:54, April 17, 2023 (EDT)
== Listing Rosalina's appearance in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. ==
{{SettledTPP}}
{{ProposalOutcome|vetoed|The intent of this proposal is based entirely on speculation, which is one thing this wiki does not allow in any way.}}
I think we should list Rosalina's appearance in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. Why? Because she's highly definitely likely to appear. Hint one, the [[Lumalee]] leaked [[McDonald's]] [[Happy Meal]] toy. Hint two, [[Princess Peach]]'s "'''There's a huge universe out there... with a lot of galaxies.'''" line. Hint three, the Lumalee leaked McDonald's toy. Hint four, the Lumalee appearing in the official final trailer. Hint five, Gusty Garden Galaxy music being used. Also, why in the stars would a Lumalee appear without Rosalina? Where's [[Yoshi]], [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], [[Bowser Jr.]], the [[Koopalings]], [[Princess Daisy]], [[Dry Bowser]], [[King K. Rool]], [[Wart]], [[King Boo]], and more? [[User:MarioBobfan2007&#39;snewaccount|MarioBobfan2007&#39;snewaccount]] ([[User talk:MarioBobfan2007&#39;snewaccount|talk]]) 22:40, March 17, 2023 (EDT)}}

====Support====
#{{User|MarioBobfan2007'snewaccount}}. Support. Per proposal.
====Oppose====
#{{User|Swallow}} Definitely not until it's properly confirmed she's actually in it; as of now there's no slight hint of it.
#{{User|Shadic 34}} Speculation isn't something this wiki is really keen on, so I'll oppose.
#{{User|MarioComix}} This would count as speculation, and we don't cover that on the wiki. There's currently nothing concrete linking Rosalina to the movie; technically, Lumas can appear without her as a form of world-building - their presence hints at a cosmic side to the Mario universe that could be explored in future movies. (Also, look at games that have Luma without Rosalina, like ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]''.) If there were leaked footage, concept art, or Rosalina's emblems appearing, then it could be brought up, but for now, this is pure speculation.
====Comments====
== Rosalina’s Korean name ==
Rosalina’s Korean name 로젤리나 should be romanized “Rojellina” due to how Korean romanization works. [[User:ArgentuTA164|ArgentuTA164]] ([[User talk:ArgentuTA164|talk]]) 22:22, October 29, 2023 (EDT)
== Very powerful figure? (+ Line sticker) ==
I'm kind of unsure about the very first phrase in the intro of her article. What does "very powerful figure" actually mean in her case, since Rosalina does not do anything particularly powerful/daysaving in the games she appears in? After all, it’s Mario who does most of the work, and characters like Bowser are shown to have an immense number of resources. I think it would be better to just start the phrase as “Her duty is […]”, which is already descriptive of her role in the series without being potentially biased (I still remember this page being even more POV-ridden, lol…) Plus, I'm confused about the LINE sticker in the personality section… honestly, I don't think it is that indicative of Rosalina's personality, since she is very rarely shown upset, as in the sticker. Of course feel free to tell me if you disagree. This is just a hindsight on my part. {{unsigned|Wallowigi}}
:I think it's meant to describe her portrayal in ''Galaxy'' where she seems to have knowledge of how the universe works, and powers that transcend the universe's rebirth (when she appears before Mario much larger than usual).
