Rosalina

Profile

Rosalina is a character introduced in the Super Mario universe in Super Mario Galaxy. She is a self-proclaimed "watcher of the stars," and lives in a massive observatory in outer space named the Comet Observatory. She offers Mario and Luigi aid in rescuing Peach from Bowser in return for their help in gathering all 242 Power and Grand Stars to restore power to the observatory. She also appears at the end of the credits and tells the player thanks for all the hard work if 120 stars have been collected. In Japan, her name roughly translates to "Rosetta".

Rosalina also appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2. In this game, she serves as the key to the game's Super Guide feature, the Cosmic Guide, by taking control of Mario and helping him (and the player) through troublesome parts of the game. Also, she appears at the end of the game where she found her lost Luma and later after the credits, she tells a story to all of the Lumas about the Green Power Stars. 120 Power Stars is required for the player to see this.

Voice Actress
