So today ultra-charge asked me where I got Rosalina's height of 7'06" from. Here is my answer.
...It turns out that I actually underestimated her height by like an inch...(?)
The models are taken from Super Mario Galaxy. The models are exactly as they are in the game and have not been adjusted at all.
The top chart was my initial idea of how tall the characters are. I used Mario as the reference. I egregiously thought that Mario's height was 5'00" exactly instead of 5'01" like it actually is. Then I proceeded to compare the characters' heights just by the numbers of squares tall they are. In the end,
Mario: 15 squares, 5'00" (60in)
Luigi: 16 squares, 5'04" (64 in)
NPC Luigi: 17 squares, 5'08" (68 in)
Peach: 17.5 squares, 5'10" (70 in)
Rosalina: 22.5 squares, 7'06" (90 in)
(Note: I will still use these heights for my comics and stuff.)
The bottom chart is their ACTUAL heights, with Mario ACCURATELY being 5'01". Using the awesome powers of MATH, that makes Luigi about 5'05", NPC Luigi about 5'10", Peach about 6'01", and Rosalina about 7'07".
Either way, Little Mac is pissed.
Sorry for my crappy handwriting.

P.S. I actually like the fact that Rosalina is really tall. One of my favorite character traits about her is that she's authoritative. Making her tall emphasizes that characteristic. I'm going to be honest with you, it irks me when people (i.e. 95% of fanartists) underestimate Rosalina's height because it mitigates that characteristic. If you do it, fine, but like I said before in another deviation, "you will never see me draw Rosalina as a height less than seven feet tall. Ever."
P.S.S. For those of you who can't read my godawful writing in the top chart, it says:
- Hey Mario's like 5'00" or something right - He's 15 squares tall here - So each square is 4 inches??? -
- Luigi's like a square taller! - That makes him 5'04" or something -
- NPC Luigi's like 17 squares tall - He's 5'08" - Why are there two Luigis I mean srsly -
- Peach is... I dunno, 17.5 squares tall? - So she's like 5'10" - Seems right -
- Wtf Rosalina - You're like 22.5 freakin squares tall - That's like 50% taller than Mario - That's like 7'06" - That's like a million feet or something -
P.S.S.S. I like pie. (REFERENCES!)
