Rosalina was announced to be the fourth newcomer fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' on December 18th, 2013 during Nintendo Direct, alongside Luma. A variety of her abilities use a Luma, particularly to aid in combos. Rosalina is a very lightweight fighter. In fact, she's one of the lightest fighters in the game, only being heavier than [[Kirby]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], [[Mewtwo]], and [[Jigglypuff]]. For [[Equipment]], Rosalina uses Staffs to boost offense, Dresses for defense, and Pumps for speed.

Although Rosalina is the tallest female fighter in the game (the third tallest overall when compared to [[Bowser]] and [[Ganondorf]]), she's actually very lightweight. In fact, Rosalina is one of the lightest fighters in the game, only being heavier than [[Kirby]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], [[Mewtwo]], and [[Jigglypuff]]. Along with being lightweight, Rosalina also has a very high air acceleration attribute, along with a very low falling speed attribute, only falling faster than [[Princess Peach]] and Jigglypuff. However, despite her strong air mobility, Rosalina's air speed is only around average.
 
For [[Equipment]], Rosalina uses Staffs to boost attack, Dresses for defense, and Pumps (Heels) for speed.


Rosalina and Luma have a moveset largely inspired by the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games. They can be controlled individually, similar to the [[Ice Climbers]] from  past ''Super Smash Bros.'' installments. Luma can be attacked and defeated, and can eventually be re-summoned by Rosalina. However, like attacking Nana and [[Captain Olimar|Olimar's]] [[Pikmin]], the damage does not count towards Rosalina's damage percentage, though Luma has its own individual but unseen damage counter. Rosalina can also control how far away the Luma can be from her, by using her standard special attack; the [[Luma Shot]].

Her down special move is named [[Gravitational Pull]], which sends items and weapons towards Rosalina. While she uses this move, weapons will be disabled. The attack seems to be inspired by the Spin from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. Her up special attack; the [[Launch Star]], gives Rosalina a vertical boost (with an animation similar to Mario's and Luigi's animation after using a Launch Star in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games, even including the Launch Star sound effect). Her side special, [[Star Bits]], releases a group of Star Bits that are used as projectiles. Rosalina's Final Smash, [[Power Star]], summons a large Power Star, which shoots many smaller stars onto the stage that damage opponents.

The partner Luma can be yellow, [[Luma (character)|apricot]], green, red, blue, or [[Polari|brown]]. The differences are aesthetic only.

Rosalina seems to retain her appearance from the ''Mario'' series, with the exception of glittery star patterns, made with an iridescent fiber, adorning the bottom of her dress. This is unlike [[Princess Peach]], whose appearance is different from that in the ''Mario'' series.

Rosalina's dress comes in eight colors for players to choose from: the default turquoise, mint green, pink, gold, black and gold, purple, and two red and white colored dresses, both of which resemble her Fire Form in ''Super Mario 3D World''.
