Rosalina landed because Super Mario Galaxy gave her something rare in mascot fiction: quiet sadness and actual mythic scale. She feels older than the rest of the cast without becoming stiff, which makes her stand out immediately.

Example
Her storybook in Super Mario Galaxy is still one of Nintendo's cleanest examples of slipping emotion into a family platformer without killing the mood.

Why it matters
Rosalina matters because she proved the Mario cast could absorb a little grandeur and still stay readable.
