This is Princess Rosalina's emblem

Princess Rosalina, or simply just Rosalina, is an unlockable character in Mario Kart Wii. She was first introduced in the Mario series in Super Mario Galaxy. Rosalina is one of the top players in a race, since she has advantages in a lot of the statistics.

She is a large weight class character, meaning she is a heavy character and drives only heavy Karts and Bikes.

She is shown with a yellow Luma flying around her when racing in Mario Kart Wii.

All the color schemes for her karts and bikes are usually a sea-foam green or turquoise color, but with a few karts and bikes she has some purple and yellow stripes.

Rosalina's backstory is chronicled in her storybook told by her in the Comet Observatory's Library in Super Mario Galaxy.

Nine chapters are unlocked throughout the game, and the last is unlocked by completing the game and she floats.

Unlocking Criteria[]

Princess Rosalina is not very difficult to unlock if you have Super Mario Galaxy, because to unlock her you need a Super Mario Galaxy save file and complete 50 races.

But if you don't, unlocking her is slightly more difficult.

You must get at least one Star Rank in all eight Mirror Cups.

Characteristics[]

Her hair is slightly duller than Peach's luscious blonde hair, and Rosalina's also has a bang covering one of her eyes. When in a kart, she wears her normal light blue dress from Super Mario Galaxy.

If you pick her and a bike, she wears a biker suit similar to Princess Peach and Princess Daisy.

It's mainly white with light blue outlines and designs running along her body.

She still wears her silver crown, too. On Mario Kart on the wii she is shown with a star hovering over her head. She should have lightning bolt earrings, but she doesn't and is just a misinterpretation.

Mario Kart series[]

  • Princess Rosalina is the mother of all the Lumas, and the owner of the Comet Observatory, the hub world of Super Mario Galaxy.
  • She wears a biker suit like Princess Daisy and Princess Peach.
  • Rosalina plus the Wario Bike, Shooting Star, and Jetsetter is a great combo.
  • You can unlock her 3 ways.
  • Princess Rosalina is the only playable girl in the large weight class, excluding Mii (Outfit A) and Mii (Outfit B).

Tips[]

Princess Rosalina with the Wario Bike is a great combo. Another good combination for Rosalina is the Shooting Star or the Jetsetter.


Background[]

When Rosalina was a young, she went into space looking for a Luma's mamma.

When Rosalina went into space, her parents and brother fell in asleep under a tree, forever.

She now lives with bio-luminescent beings called Lumas who refer to her as "Mother."

She lives on Rainbow Road and she is in the Heavyweights group along with Wario, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Bowser, King Boo, Funky Kong, and Dry Bowser. She is also friends with Mario, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Shy Guy, Toad and Toadette.

Stat Bonuses[]

Top Speed, Handling, Drift +3.

(I think this is not on topic, but here's a hint on Mario Kart: Learn how to play using Manual! It's so fun, and it's what most ghosts use on time trials and it seems, looks, and it feels really amazing and you feel (kind of popular) when you use it).
