Rosalina's packin' heat. meat

Guess that throws my complaints about her being a cliche out the window. :P

GP was simply concluding that Rosalina isn't really subject to the gender role topic after all, because she's not female.  Merely 'special' or 'honorary' if you appreciate that sort of thing.

I think that Rosalina is actually really tiny and uses some trick with mirrors to make herself appear humongous.

Oh ****, GP rolled her eyes. TAKE COVER.

There's something humongous, all right.

Roselina: The Virgin Princess
Peach: Dumb Blond
Daisy: Tomboy

Rosalina is my favorite automatically because she's the only heavy weight in Mario Kart that can steer around a turn with ease.... 

"Peach and Daisy look lovely in their sports outfits. But what about Rosalina? HmmÂ…"

I think she looks great

I just read most of this thread. I'm struggling to understand how it took the bizarre turn it did.

I think Rosalina is basically the Mario universe equivalent of a supreme being.

Why does Mario need to help, then? Because there wouldn't be a game otherwise, now would there? :P

About Mario and Luigi being short I realized a couple of reasons for it. First, its a common comical effect in cartoon characters. For example, Mickey Mouse is ridiculously short. Popeye is also short when compared to tall and lanky Olive Oil. Yet he still can beat up Bluto who is thrice his size. It also represents the unlikely hero defeating the big, menacing brute.

That's very interesting you should mention that. Assuming nobody else has brought this up in the space I skipped over to post my reply, the original Donkey Kong arcade game was being developed as a Popeye game. Nintendo wanted to make a game with Popeye climbing a building to save Olive from Bluto at the top, when right before the game was slated to be released, the contract holders pulled the licensing rights. Nintendo had an 80% completed game and no franchise to market, so they took some loose King Kong inspiration, swapped the sprites around and birthed Jumpman, who we today know as Mario.
