Can anyone explain why Rosalina is not Pareto optimal here? It kind of looks like she should be.

Because Donkey Kong gives more speed for exactly the same acceleration. I.e. you sacrifice nothing and gain something by switching away.
EDIT: If you mean that Rosalina looks slightly higher on the graph, I believe that's just a visual effect to allow multiple characters to occupy the same square - the stats are all integers.

Ah, yeah. That is what I meant. Thanks!
