The only thing I didn't like about Fi was that she didn't help me the one time in the whole game I was super stuck and needed help.

JUST SAY "YOU CAN GET FRUIT STUCK ON YOUR SWORD BY STABBING IT" THAT'S ALL I NEEDED

I don't remember what it was, but I had a case of this too.

Had fun with SS, not as much as with Wind Waker or OoT3D but still nice fun, didn't mind Fi all that much but I sure as hell didn't bother getting most extras beyond the cool shield. Upon replaying on Hero Mode I realized that boy did Fi suck, like, playing the second time I skipped all the cutscenes but a good chunk of time was still consumed not playing because of Fi's constant interruption.

The fun sections stayed fun tho, like the re-purposed WW temple or the time-travel circles and the sea of stand, but the meh ones were pretty bad on replaying, like having to go through that barren waste of an overworld for what felt longer than WW sailing times and much less exciting or the one "you're in jail and you gotta get all your poo poo back!" section when i usually love those, so I'd still say it's a good game, but definitely a game with several issues.

Rosilina is the better Peach and Daisy is just a poor imitation, this is true I do not see any controversy at all with these facts.

Peach is also a stupid name. They need to go back to just referring to her as Toadstool.

I am honestly really glad they didn't explain this to you - there's a point with some great visual language hinting that you're supposed to stab in that spot.

...That said, I also got hopelessly stuck on this part, as when I TRIED to stab that one fruit that's on the other side of this one structure (the one they WANT you to stab to learn the mechanic in the first place), it didn't work, so I assumed that wouldn't work.

The real problem was that stabbing those fruit was sometimes a little finnicky, which could lead people to try it and then come to the conclusion that it doesn't work when it didn't work on their first try, like you did.

Usually my favorite thing about those sections is getting your items and using quirky ways to take down the guards with, from what I recall you pretty much have to stealth all the way, hope you got enough nuts for your slingshot for a short bit and then get about half your items at the end.

Rosalina feels like a 19 year old girl who's just getting out of her teenage mallgoth/emo phase who's somehow been transported into the Mario universe and just doesn't really fit at all but she's there anyway and already getting more preference over veterans like Wario somehow

You're the 2nd person to say she's emo which is odd as I never got that impression of her.

Or maybe its just another of misusing the word emo.

I think people say she's emo because of her windswept bangs covering one of her eyes.

Rosalina owns, its cool to see new Mario characters become regular cast members. It helps keep the series fresh, and despite being nearly a color swap, she feels completely different from Peach. Also apparently the woman who does her voice gets fanmail of people begging her for sex. Lmao.

Because there was fan art of her riding a bike from Mario Kart Wii (or 7? whichever had bikes first) that was really popular so Nintendo kinda rolled with it from there.

Yea, she was voiced by Mercedes Rose in MKWii, Kerri Kane in 7 and Laura Faye Smith in 8.

Can Laura remain the voice actor then.

I hated Rosalina for awhile but I realized it was because I really didn't like her voice. It was like they were trying to take a page out of Other M's voice acting but crammed it in a Mario game so all you have are these dull "wa...hoo..."'s

Mario Kart 8 actually makes it sound like she's having fun and not a piece of cardboard.
