Best female character in the Mario series, not that this is much of an accomplishment.

8 - Best Mario universe girl and also probably like the 3rd best Mario character overall behind Luigi and Bowser

better than peach, but why is she so fat in mario kart games

also I guess I missed Bowser?

Bowser - 9

because everyone knows heavyweight is the best in Mario Kart so Rosalina adapts to whatever she's doing at the time

why did the Mario fanbase all obsess with her so quickly aside from the fact that she's yet another girl to make weird porn of

Pretty solid, but her fandom makes her lose a point for me.

Only having played the first galaxy, as the only place with an actual story for her...

She has a story and hasn't done anything with it. She's not much of a character outside of backstory. 5/10

8 out of 10

I've always enjoyed the innocence of the character and the cocoon in which she lives, protected from the dreary reality of life outside of her ship. At the same time, she seems so intensely lonely.

Because she's over seven feet tall.

Never played a Mario game with her in it, but in Smash Bros, she's one of my favs to use, as well as one of my favs to fight against.

A solid example of a character who elevates her original material and was best left in it. As someone who felt 'above' the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom crew, bring her down for parties and kart races has kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. She added an element of mysticism and wonder to the Galaxy games that's kinda lost nowadays. Being the right combination of both annoying to play and annoying to fight in Smash Bros also contributes a great deal. Even if this track is probably the best "sad background music" I can think of off of the top of my head.

So gentle. I'd want a cradle to play it.

Also Vegeta can get a solid 8/10. Always one of the best parts in whatever he's in, and his almost self-destructive flaws are always played up and amusing. Best of the original cast in Battle of Gods as well, which does amazing things with every character worth a damn.

Great in Galaxy and Mario Kart Wii, but after that she became annoying. I mostly blame the change in voice actresses. Her original voice was great, but her new voice is kind of irritating. Also, fuck Baby Rosalina. That abomination should not exist.

Urdnot - 7/10
Jason - 7.5/10
Vegeta - 6/10 I can't picture Vegeta outside of the comedy parodies on youtube and Nappa is by far the better character there.

Rosalina - 3/10
