History WMG / SuperMarioGalaxy

** I've seen MatPat's videos. There's no reason to think that Rosalina is related to Princess Peach - as stated above, they look marginally alike as a remnant of the game's beta stages. There isn't any other evidence to suggest a connection, and saying that Rosie's mother wasn't actually dead would undermine the significance of the events in the storybook.

They do look alike, don't they? Kammy (which could be short for "Kamella") could be harnessing the energy of the Power Stars to battle Mario in a Super Mode.

Since then, he lead the Black Arms in a sick parody of Rosalina's life among the Lumas. Instead of nurturing them to grow, he ordered them to kill and pillage. Instead of peace, he promoted war. And instead of birth, he believed the most in death. And when the Comet Observatory finally makes contact with the Black Comet, there is no telling what will happen when brother and sister are reunited.

* The game was made in Japan first. "Rosetta" was her name originally, and then was changed for the international versions. (Not just to Rosalina, either - in the Italian version, I believe it is, she's named "Harmonie.") The reason she was named Rosetta originally is because Rosetta is a special type of orbit.

** Rosalina shares some similarities with Peach because she was originally going to be Peach's sister.

Bowser thought that maybe if he could utterly disintegrate Mario at the molecular level, he might bypass all the extra lives and [[DeaderThanDead keep Mario from coming back]]. It didn't work, obviously, which is why it's never seen again after that one level -- it's probably more expensive to make than good old fasioned lava, so no point to keep making it if it doesn't kill him better than anything else.

...is because to Japanese people, the pronounciation of the name "Rosalina" would have been too ambiguous ("Rosalina"? "Rosarina"? "Loselina"? "Losarina"?), so a variation of her name that was less ambiguous was used for the Japanese release.[[note]]This is why, in [[VideoGame/ParappaTheRapper Umjammer Lammy]], Lammy's evil clone Rammy is officially called "Urammy / Ulammy" in Japanese (as a pun on "ura" [loosely translated as either "reverse" or "another"] and Lammy).[[/note]]

[[WMG: Kamella is [[PaperMario Kammy Koopa]]]]

All the spinoffs - and maybe even a few mainline platformers like 3D World and Galaxy 2 - take place in the new universe where Bowser and Mario aren't ''really'' sworn enemies, but are at worst indifferent towards each other. Bowser tries to keep up a villainous image, slowly sinking to the point where the worst thing he does is crash Mario's parties, before finally giving up and going to their kart racing tournaments.

Or at least a very long lifespan. How else would you explain why Rosalina looks to be around Peach's age, despite being hundreds (if not) thousands of years old?

** Having a telescope and being tall doesn't necessarily mean Rosalina is related to Luigi. There are also a lot of people who green hats, big deal. Also, there's tons of people in the world who have lookalikes and not be related at all. It's called IdenticalStranger and Peach and Rosalina might not be an exception to that. And the part about the father having a mustache, that's ONLY in the French version. You'd think they would include that detail in other versions if it was so important.

* Or conversely Rosalina's mother is Peach, but her father is Luigi. Evidence is that one of her keepsakes is her father's telescope. Mario doesn't have a telescope, but Luigi does. Also, in the storybook, her brother has a green hat. Also, Rosalina tall, just like Luigi.

Rosalina's appearance is very similar to Peach's. Plus, the extreme closeup of Rosalina's mother has Peach's hair and earrings. Furthermore, in the French version, there is an extra page at the end of the storybook that mention her father and his mustache. Her phrasing at the end makes it clear that this isn't Rosalina's first trip to another universe either. The real reason she helps Mario is so that she doesn't lose her mother again.

Her mother was nice to her, but did little to help her. The girl portrays them somewhat affectionately, but that's because she wanted to make the story appropriate for young Lumas. The neglect and possible abuse explains why she initially had no problems with leaving her family behind to look for the Luma's mother. [[spoiler:When she cries for her dead mother, it's because she has realized that her mother wanted to help her, but was too afraid of the abusers. The girl doesn't miss her abusers, which explains why she doesn't cry for them when they're probably dead.]]

And instead of birth, he believed the most in death.

After returning from his adventure, Mario eventually gets around to telling Luigi about what happened. Later, while either dreaming or daydreaming, or possibly even during Mario's storytelling, Luigi plays out the story in his head, except he replaces Mario with himself doling out the heroics. He apparently doesn't put too much effort into making the dream believable though, since he still ends up rescuing "Luigi", there's only sparse unique dialog concerning Luigi, and Bowser considers [[SecondBanana second-banana,]] gets-lost-finding-stars, [[CowardlySidekick probably-afraid-of-his-own-shadow]] Luigi as much of a legitimate threat as Mario himself.

Like Atlantis, a prosperous civilization once thrived on that planet and its assorted mini-moons. They built pyramids, monuments, and even orbiting space-temples with their own gravity. Then, like Atlantis, some sort of disaster struck and and all the earth in that region started turning to quicksand, driving the inhabitants to extinction. By the time Mario visits, only a few scattered ruins and barely-functional automated defense systems are left as a testament to the builders' great achievements.
