Why doesn't Rosalina sound like she used to?

Rosalina is the newest Mario princess, and yet her voice has been super inconsistent! Over the course of a handful of years, Rosalina had 3 different voice actors! So why does Nintendo keep changing her voice? Why doesn't this Mario character sound like she used to?!

Personally, I like galaxy Rosalina’s voice the best. She’s designed to be this calm and spiritual space princess and her voice in that game fits perfectly. It just doesn’t feel right that Rosalina has a more energetic personality in newer games when she was never designed to be that way so her newer voices just don’t fit her imo. No hate towards those voice actresses but I prefer the old one

[@Dandelions479]

Yes! Her old voice matched everything that made galaxy so great- and it really set her apart from Peach and Daisy.

I love how all her voice actors reflect on her character development. She’s slowly coming out of her shell and meeting new people, Being introduced to new things, And genuinely becoming more happier. It may not be the most obvious character development but it’s enough to really appreciate her character over the years.

Fun fact for you Mercedes Rose fans: She has a youtube channel, and once recorded a parody video where she fake-cried over how much she loved diet coke. Wish I was kidding, but it cracked me up

My personal headcanon is that in each game she gets more energetic and is more open in her personality as apposed to just swapping VA's. It honestly makes the most sense for me as she was more open with Mario in her first game and ever sense then she embraced who she truly is.

Unrelated about Laura Faye Smith but she has wonderful penmanship; when I met her at a convention and asked her to sign my Rosalina amiibo, she was able to sign her name in very clear cursive on that tiny amiibo base and even drew a little Luma. Also she's a very nice and plesant lady.

I kind of like how Rosalina's voice gets slightly more excitable and cheerful with each actress. She started out as quiet, echoey, and a bit sad, but as this Cosmic Queen participated in more Mario Spin-offs and games as a whole, she got more happy to revist these games over the years with her newfound friends. I get why some prefer her voice in Galaxy, but if you ask me, the actress changing gave Rosalina some surprisingly impressive character development.

I liked the original voice as it had a unique somber contrast to other upbeat characters in the Mario universe.

[@Eelanos]

I kinda like the first one because it's a very distinctive voice. We had Peach as the happy, cheerful, carefree princess; Daisy as the strong, no nonsense, energetic princess and Rosalina as the motherly, calm and otherworldly princess. The newer one, while it stills retains some semblance of her maturity, steps a bit into Peach's territory with the bounciness and excitement. It makes me feel nostalgic of the original, warm, maternal voice.

[@dalemau5]

The thing with Kerri Kane, she still had that gentle soft voice like Mercedes. More towards upbeat but still had that Rosalina charm. The new actress, it’s not the same sadly but I do like seeing Rosalina much happier.

[@flameheart87]

I like how Rosalina starts off as sad, lonely (not completely, she has the lumas), in space. Then she befriends Mario and his friends, and after hanging out with them for so long, she seems more happy now. Maybe this is intentional, or nintendo just wanted more upbeat characters. I have such a massive soft spot for Mario galaxy, Rosalina has a very good warm, motherly, soothing feeling. I spent so much time just hanging out at the observatory as a kid.

[@tethu1740]

i like to think Rosa got happier the most she got along with Mario and the cast, like she could finally stop thinking about sad things and got to experience happiness for the first time

[@OrlandoAToons2008]

Unpopular opinion, but i like more Laura's Rosalina. She sounds so happy and adventurous.

[@PlayersPurity]

I have few things to say: 1. Even back in Mario Kart Wii, her voice actress Mercedes Rose was credited as "Mercedez Rose". Honestly it feelt like a curse that her voice actress' name was either misspelled or a completely wrong one AND misspelled. 😂 2. I believe the reason Kerri Kane's voice clips are used in Smash to this day is because Rosalina in that game is still based on her more calm and mature appearance from Super Mario Galaxy and during the 3DS era Rosalina was still portrayed in such manner until Wii U era arrived and she became more upbeat and playful. Btw Kerri Kane also voiced Rosalina in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX and we got to hear few lines that weren't ever used before! 3. Rosalina used to be my all-time favorite Mario character until Laura Faye Smith came along voicing the character. This is no hate towards her: she's a wonderful person and a great voice actress, but during 3D World, to me, Rosalina became a shadow of her formerself. I personally don't like her new upbeat personality though I do understand Nintendo wants to go this way since she's a character in a video game series mostly marketed towards children and families and the characters need to be more upbeat and colorful in order to appeal to most of those audiences. Also one thing to note is since LFS started voicing Rosalina, the echo effect from her voice has disappeared. Ps. I'm so happy you finally made this video! I knew the interesting story behind her voice and the women behind it, but finally someone talking about it on youtube is great. So my favorite Rosalina voice actress is Mercedes Rose as I've followed her career a little (she has starred in few commercials and in a youtube series by her daughter, Paige McKenzie called "Haunting of Sunshine Girl") and it is very interesting, but I love Rosalina's voice by Kerri Kane ❤

[@Lunar_willoww]

You put it into words so well! It feels like they kinda painted over her characterization in the Galaxy, and now she kinda only feels like Rosalina in the sense of her model in newer games. Kinda feels like another character cosplaying as her, almost. Always happy to have her in spinoffs! I just wish she was a biiiit closer to her original self, yknow? It feels like Nintendo is afraid of her feeling like a somber character, but even in MK Wii that never really felt like the case to me. :]

I was surprised to see Rosalina's character change when she was joining the Mario party's and Kart games. But in my personal preference, I gravel more towards the motherly side of her voice. From where she was first introduced, I felt safe being with her and the lumas. Tho the Lumas being silly, I felt like the change in character was due to them making her happy too. I don't mind her cheerful voices in the newer games because its understandable that Rosalina would enjoy being part of something so wondrous. But I can't let that feeling go, she is a caring motherly character from the heart and I do miss that side of her.

[@clubtonberry]

I love Rosalina's galaxy voice, it's so calm and suits the character so much more. Honestly I think Nintendo overdoes the perky female voices WAY too much. Variety is the spice of life and it upsets me when they keep recasting sultry, warm tones for grating or higher pitched ones

[@namizou3305]

[@Lunar_willoww]

Personally, I think the deeper, more reserved voiceovers are the best. The newer Madio games feel like they kind of painted over what made Rosalina as a character so special. (This isn't to say I have anything against the voice actors! These things just happen, and that's okay) I have nothing against Peach, she's one of my favorites in fact-- but Rosalina just isn't her. Rosalina isn't just blue Peach, or cooler Peach, or whatever some fans think of her as. For Mario standards, she was a very complex and even tragic character, and it's her quiet sweetness through all the difficulties that made her feel unique. She didn't always express emotions the same way, but they were always there. She was like a force of nature that was kind to you, but one you couldn't just contain, if that makes sense. It always added extra weight to the end of Galaxy. (This isn't very related, but I like to think the reason she shows up in so many sports spinoffs is because she's so ancient, she considers nearly every other Mario character to just be another child, and tries to look out for the main characters when she can. She also thinks they're very fun to play with. I dunno, just a cute thought.)

[@nickk3077]

I like all of the voices. I think you would have to be a fool to consider one of these voices to be "bad". However, it's the direction of the voice where my opinions start to vary. I think a part of Rosalina's appeal was her tragic backstory in Galaxy and her voice reflected that. When more modern games came out with the new direction of the voice, it was like that core part of her was gone. However, in the end, I don't think it matters all that much.

[@nathanmoring5072]

I was going to say it’s crazy she’s changed her voice in such a small amount of her time since she’s still pretty new compared to the veteran characters, but considering even they’ve changed so drastically in their early development as well and on, I guess it’s not too surprising.

[@Lunar_willoww]

It's interesting to hear so many perspectives on a character like this. While I may not like the voice change in MK8 for the higher pitch, some others really enjoy it, and think it shows possible character development.

No disrespect at all to the actors but I don’t love Nintendo’s choice to make Rosalina more outgoing. Her being more calm and reserved contrasted her to Peach and Daisy. Now she seems a lot more like Peach. I guess it’s mandatory that all Mario characters must have that “wahoo let’s go!” energy.

[@PokeMaster22222]

I've never liked Rosalina as a character; she's just never _done_ anything of note. In Galaxy, her debut game, she just *stands there* on her spaceship; she doesn't move Prankster Comets (that's yet another Luma's job), nor does she give out 1-Ups (that's Peach, via mail, somehow). In Galaxy 2, she doesn't appear outside of cutscenes until after you've beaten the final, hardest level, as a 100% completion reward - and again, she just stands there, doing nothing of note (pretty much like all the other NPC species reps on the Faceship). Despite having done NOTHING in either Galaxy game, she's somehow super popular, which I just cannot understand. Sure, she has the most backstory out of pretty much any Mario character...but it's optional and hidden away; not every Galaxy player would find it or want to sit through it, and it's not in any other game. Combined with her withdrawn, not-very-expressive personality, Rosalina just seems like a blank sheet of a character to me; I don't understand why she's so popular, why Nintendo insists on bringing her back game after game, when other far more memorable characters have been forgotten - Dimentio, Koops, Goombario, Fawful, and way more. King Boo shouldn't just be a Luigi's Mansion villain, either.

[@adham_mahmud2002]

I'm 100% positive this is the type of conversation nobody is ready to have. IIRC she wasn't even the one who recreated the universe in the first game so that doesn't help her at all.

As she lost the echo, and while I don’t mind the personality change, (as long if a game could establish why she changed her personality maybe), the way the voice sounds and its tone is a little off for me. Since it strays to far from her original voice. I’m an 3 to try keeping the same voice for a character as much as possible. Unless we are in a different continuity. Like, it’s fine to have some changes, but I prefer the voice to still sound as realistically close to the original as possible. We can have slight changes if it fits the context of the story or change of the character. But no Ryan Sonic to Jason Sonic to Roger Sonic.

I do like the original Mercedes Rose the most, simply because it's fits the original concept of her character. But I can appreciate the work for the other 2 as well. Plus, if you use the description Thomas gave in the end, you can call it... CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!! When we first meet her, she's still burdened by her past, and the whole Bowser thing just makes it worse. But after Galaxy 1 and 2, she goes off with Mario and friends to play different party games. It's then when we see her begin to cheer up, and become hopeful that there are better times to look forward too. And then, she finally gives way knowing that there are friends that not only care for her, but can have lots if fun with. Giving her thaf energetic and bouncy voice.

I honestly love every voice but the first one was my personal favorite

Funny this video came to my feed. I was very into the Rosalina voice debate many years ago. Of course Mercedes is the top pick as she is not only the original but also is the most distinc voice that gives Rosalina that personality that sets her apart the most from the other Mario girls, although to me Kerri will always be the best for providing both the extra energy and also still having that certain allure in her voice, it made Rosalina sound more approachable but not too much. A lot of the digging towards the end are things i actually asked Kerri myself, she was kind enough to provide details to clear up the confusion in 2014 when Nintendo used her voice instead of Laura's, many didnt believe it but it was very obvious it was her voice, so i asked her and she kindly responded with the obvious answer, it was her, and as far as i know she also contacted Nintendo in order to clear the voice credit misunderstanding and thats why Laura gets her name properly in games now. You will notice in the 3DS version of RIO olympics it says ''Kerry Kane'' but in the Wii U version is corrected to Laura Faye Smith ... this is thanks to Kerri.

Amazing video about Why doesn't Rosalina sound like she used to?🤩😍 the 3 voices actrees i like

[@elliot3751]

Personally I love Mercedes Rose and Laura Faye Smiths voices. Mercedes Rose is so calm and motherly But I enjoy the cheerful and playful version of Laura Faye Smith. I don’t dislike Karri Kane, but it’s not my favorite interpretation. But I can definitely say that they all captured Rosalina’s character very well and they all have that smooth/calm Rosalina vibe

The galaxy voice is best and also her mario kart wii voice (I'm pretty sure they're the same)

[@LetsBoogy512]

My personal list is Mercedes, Laura, then Kerri. None have been bad tho! Mercedes captured her powerful, solemn nature. She sounds reserved, but was still capable of showing excitement at her own way. And I LOVE the echo/reverb in with her voice. Laura does sound a little similar to Peach, but I think she has a solid voice/range. I do wish they would tone her back a little, but I think she sounds like a mom having fun 😂❤ Kerri kinda got the worst of both ends. The higher pitch to her voice and super echo effect makes her sound ditzy to me. Like she isn’t QUITE sure where she is 😭💀 I appreciate all the effort the actresses put into the characters.

When I listen to the first and third voices between Laura and Mercedes, they sound similar to one another minus that Laura is more energetic as Mercedes does give her best Mom impression and solemn

Mercedes fits the most, but Kerri is the one I remember most. Only because of smash of course
