'''Rosalina & Luma''' ({{ja|ロゼッタ&チコ|Rozetta & Chiko}}, ''Rosetta & Chiko''), known simply as '''Rosalina''' ({{ja|ロゼッタ|Rozetta}}, ''Rosetta'') in the [[character customization]] menu and the {{for3ds}} foldout, are playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. A duo consisting of Rosalina and a Luma, the player primarily controls Rosalina, while additional moves and inputs control the Luma's position and attacks. They were revealed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on December 18th, 2013, which coincided with Rosalina's reveal in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS_gYzv02SQ Nintendo Direct 12.18.13]</ref> | '''Rosalina & Luma''' ({{ja|ロゼッタ&チコ|Rozetta & Chiko}}, ''Rosetta & Chiko''), known simply as '''Rosalina''' ({{ja|ロゼッタ|Rozetta}}, ''Rosetta'') in the [[character customization]] menu and the {{for3ds}} foldout, are playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

'''Luma''' ({{ja|チコ|Chiko}}, ''Chiko'') is a member of [[mariowiki:Luma (species)|the star-shaped species of the same name]] that is under the care of Rosalina. It<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Rebound and Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Reactions tips refer to Luma as "it"--> fights in tandem with Rosalina, similarly to how [[Ice Climbers|Nana fights in tandem with Popo]], and utilizes [[hit points]] (HP) like [[Captain Olimar]]'s {{b|Pikmin|species}} do. Unlike Nana and the Pikmin, Luma is controlled by the player, even when separated from Rosalina,and has a set respawn time upon being KO'd. Rosalina is always accompanied by a yellow Luma at the beginning of each battle, and while the yellow Luma can respawn upon being KO'd, it is possible for a differently colored Luma to take its place. The other Lumas are colored blue, green, red, cream<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip refers to the apricot Luma's color as cream--> (who appears almost identical to [[mariowiki:Luma (character)|Baby Luma]]), and blackish brown (who is actually {{s|mariowiki|Polari}})<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip confirms that Polari is indeed the dark brown Luma-->. | '''Luma''' ({{ja|チコ|Chiko}}, ''Chiko'') is a member of [[mariowiki:Luma (species)|the star-shaped species of the same name]] that is under the care of Rosalina.

However, Rosalina's endurance is among the worst in the game owing to her tall frame, very light [[weight]], and slow [[falling speed]]. Furthermore, many of Rosalina's benefits, including her powerful neutral game, are heavily nerfed if Luma is KOed, owing to her low attack power and short-ranged hitboxes; adding to this, while Luma can be difficult to KO, it can be easily rendered inactive due to it being unable to act out of [[tumbling]]. Rosalina's recovery, while granting long distance from [[Launch Star]], is also very linear, and its lack of offensive hitboxes cannot deter edgeguarders. | However, Rosalina's endurance is among the worst in the game owing to her tall frame, very light [[weight]], and slow [[falling speed]].

Overall, Rosalina & Luma's strengths noticeably outweigh their weaknesses, and they are considered among the best characters in the game with strong tournament results and representation to supplement their reputation. Although Rosalina & Luma have slightly been nerfed by game [[update]]s, their top-tier placement has remained firmly intact throughout ''SSB4''{{'}}s lifespan. | Overall, Rosalina & Luma's strengths noticeably outweigh their weaknesses, and they are considered among the best characters in the game with strong tournament results and representation to supplement their reputation.
