The confusing discrepancies of Rosalina’s backstory
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.

System: Switch
Release date: October 2, 2025
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
The 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series is finally here, and Nintendo’s most notable offering for the event has now arrived as well. By now, there isn’t too much to say about Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Galaxy 2 that hasn’t already been said – they’re absolutely brilliant 3D platformers and are properly rated as some of the greatest games of all time. Thankfully, that brilliance continues to shine bright on Nintendo Switch (and Switch 2) with the new re-release. Long story short: if you can stomach the $70 asking price, this is the best official way to play two of Nintendo’s greatest games. The developers have made a whole host of minor changes to these titles that make them a joy to play through, even to this day.
