Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Following the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, we’re going over the differences between Rosalina’s backstory in the game and the film. Full spoilers ahead, so please be warned.
Super Mario Galaxy is one of the most beloved games in the series, and part of the reason why is that it introduced Rosalina and gave her a good deal of character development compared to others in the Mario series. Of course, her backstory isn’t some super-deep extreme lore type of thing, but it’s still much more than most other characters have received. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has its own take on her backstory, to say the least.
