Rosalina and Luma, major characters in the Super Mario Galaxy series, have been announced as a playable fighter in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U.
This space-based double act will work together during battles, much like the Ice Climbers from previous Smash Bros. titles. Rosalina will use her wand for various physical and magical attacks, while the Luma becomes involved in a host of different special moves, such as firing Rosalina into the air via a launch star or acting as a mobile shield.
A new gameplay trailer showed the characters fighting on various stages, including the newly-unveiled Rainbow Road arena based on the recurring track from the Mario Kart franchise.
The Rosalina and Luma duo marks the fourth newcomer to be announced for the new Smash Bros. games, following the Villager from Animal Crossing, the Wii Fit Trainer, and Mega Man.
I did not see this coming. Villager, WFT, and now her and Luma. These guys did not fit into my speculation chart at all.I actually did see the AC Villager coming, and though I exactly didn't see the Wii Fit Trainer coming per se, I wasn't really shocked when she was revealed. Rosalina on the other hand, does seem to have come out of left field and doesn't seem like a very logical character choice. Either they had a great idea for a new fighter moveset design and were just desperate to find a character to fit it (like the Ice Climbers), or they're just getting desperate for female characters to fit into the roster.

Where's the trailer? I don't see no trailer.I think it's on the Nintendo Direct replay.

In fact, Sakurai and co. haven't added one since Brawl...I meant, Melee.
the only other Mario character I can think of with a reasonable chance is Bowser Jr. and honestly, I'd rather have Rosalina.
