When Rosalina's character was in early development, the Super Mario Galaxy development team contemplated having her character be related to Princess Peach. This relationship did not remain as an element of the final story but is the reason for the design similarities between Peach and Rosalina. -

Boo
Mischievous ghosts often appear in dark, abandoned places. They may be spooky ghosts, but they're also incredibly shy. They will freeze in place and cover their eyes if someone looks right at them. A Boo's most common pattern of attack is to sneak up on the player (usually Mario) from behind while they are facing away from them; however, they stop their attack if looked at. Being ghosts, they are usually invincible, and unable to be defeated without certain items or conditions. It has been implied that Boos may have been other living species before they became Boos, but this has not been made clear. With Boo being one of the more popular Mario enemies, their image has been used in official Nintendo merchandise, such as plush dolls, as well as cookie cutters. -
