Super Mario Galaxy - Rosalina's Storybook

[@cerisejaxel9636]

Welp. I got star bits in my eyes.

[@thejester8097]

Your picture makes the comment all the better

[@WinternetLP]

I'd forgotten how sad this storybook is. This is a huge part of what makes Mario Galaxy so special.

[@jeffreywilliams8499]

I agree

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

Everything about Super Mario Galaxy is magical

[@sonicexe66613]

everything about mario galaxy is special. the story, the lore behind rosalina, the levels, even the characters/enemies. I've only played it for a few days, and it was the best mario game i've ever played so far

Hi

[@brettgb1314]

I'd like to take this opportunity to compliment your voice acting. You can do so many different voices. From a brilliant Rosalina voice, to an amazing Luigi, or Bowser. And so many more. You seem to have a unique voice for almost every character in whatever game you're Lets Playing. It's impressive, and it really adds to your already awesome content.

[@MasaeAnela]

Aaah thank you!! That is super motivating. One of my dreams as a kid was to be a voice actor, so hearing that I have a unique voice suited for it is uplifting :)

[@DropkickNation]

@@MasaeAnela As someone who works in the profession: You totally could be one if you wanted. ;)

[@morgancrabtree6248]

I would definitely watch something Masae voice acted in.

[@brettgb1314]

[@scarecrow2657]

When I was a kid,I couldnt read in english (not native language) so when I got to this part I thought "Ohh some cool pictures! neato" And didnt gave much thought,the same happened when I played the 3 firsts paper mario games at the time... When I got older,2 years or so and I began to understand english,I figured I should replay some wii games... This...THIS right here hit me like a truck,together with the story of super paper mario,it made me appreciate on how good nintendo is at storytelling

[@thinkontron2581]

Thank you for mentioning super paper Mario

[@Howlingburd19]

Fun fact, the “Rosalina Story” was written in a single night by Yoshiaki Koizumi. He said "for a long time, it really felt like telling a story in a Mario game was something that wasn't allowed". Honestly from a storytelling perspective Rosalina has a great character arc :)

[@blazeazuki618]

rosalina's story is the best out of any Mario character

[@NinjoXEnlightened]

And to think it almost didn't happen.

[@jonathantruong7069]

Seriously though, Rosalina has the saddest yet best backstory in a mainline Mario game. Well, I guess it wouldn't be that hard to beat Peach and Daisy, but still.

[@gamestorytheatre.]

So now you know. A comet isn't just a comet.

[@jellymcmichaels4240]

If Rosalina ever becomes a worker in Animal Crossing, she should be either an Arctic fox or a snow leopard......

Nah, i'm good. While i loved this story and it's heartwarming nature, i lost my ability to cry easily a long time ago.

[@alliseeisgold09-gaming46]

This story always made me emotional and I am happy I found someone who read this heart warming story.

[@kyleforbes6048]

12:23 This part always makes me cry, and your narration helps add to the experience, so thanks for doing this. It reminded me of when I saw this when I first played the game when it came out,and it's still just as good as I remember.

[@Hadaron]

Kyle Forbes I can literally count on one hand the number of scenes where a book, movie or video game has made me cry. This scene is one of those times. Even now, Masae’s delivery was great and managed to draw tears from me.

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

13:00 is where the gut punch is

How did these invisible ninjas get in my room and why are they cutting onions!?

You seriously have a perfect voice for this.

[@williamwhite2568]

Masae you should narrate an audiobook.

@Reuben Spratt I know, but I love SU

[@jackwoo470]

This is one of the only moments in a video game that makes me cry, and hearing you read it reminds me of what I thought it sounded like reading it for the first time.

[@adamsmith2122]

And here is the centerpiece of what I say is the best the story of any Mario game has gotten. It's hardly intrusive, but it just adds so much personality to the game that no other Mario has ever gotten down quite as well imo.

[@LionsEatNoobs]

I would definitely show this video to my niece. Very soothing to the ears :)

[@tantheman0921]

Well, I know what I'm gonna be watching while I'm recovering from my sickness.

[@sciencepuptheamericanjoe5812]

It’s so sad that she never saw her living brother or father again. 😔

[@henrijayy]

This makes me cry *manly* tears. Right in da feels.. :(

[@Skiloose]

I’ve been listening to someone else’s version of this storybook to help fall asleep for a while, but now I’m going to start listening to yours. It’s so relaxing.

[@mushroomfusion245]

To this day, I still want to know who Rosalina’s brother is, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT ROSALINA’S BROTHER LOOKS LIKE!

[@traviscunningham7062]

It’s probably Luigi.

[@kepiblop]

@@traviscunningham7062 hold up

[@DummyDrawsStuff]

I'm wondering. Did she left her brother and father to search for Lumas mother. Or were they already dead. Cause its hard to believe that she would just leave her remaining family.

[@Icyfire109]

@@DummyDrawsStuff it explained in chapter 6 or 7 that her mom was "Sleeping under the tree on the hill" meaning she unfortunately passed away. as for her brother and father, her brother couldn't be dead, because he was shown as a child when Rosalina was reminiscing, and her father is described with most of Mario or Luigi's features, and since Mario/Luigi aren't dead, I think it's safe to say she abandoned her family to search for Luma's mother.

[@DummyDrawsStuff]

@icefire3319 But Rosalina only remembered the old times, they could've passed away already when Rosalina left for the search. Though, she would mention if her brother and father were dead. So ... yea she abandoned them.

[@typhoonthunder]

perfect. i can't remember crying to a video in quite a long time. this is a perfect blend of story-telling and reading, better than any asmr i've ever listened to. this is my favorite video of yours, and one of my favorite videos on the website

[@itsdripnovababy]

I always seem to forget that Rosalina is canonically unable to cry after the story book.

[@ChristopherMoom]

I love this Manga

[@Jaydove2387]

[@TosandThos]

This is probably a good spot to comment that your voice acting is so incredible, and your voice for Rosalina so well done, that it actually took me a while (while watching your LP) to realize that you were the one reading the book and that it wasn't ACTUALLY dubbed that way IN game. You, Masae, are amazing.

[@kayden6695]

13:05 This part always makes me cry. No matter how many times I read it, no matter how many times I listen to it, I always cry. Few things in this world make me cry, and this is one of them.
