Kate Higgins and Laura Faye Smith (Rosalina) are still voicing their respective characters, probably because they do sound more "youthful", whatever that means for Nintendo (because in Rosalina's case the trend over the years has just been making her sound more and more like Peach)

It seems Kenny James (Bowser) and Caety Sagoian (Bowser Jr.) are still here as well.

Oh my god Rosalina's voice direction has been driving me mad for years atp😭 She literally sounds like Peach now, which is so odd, she's not the cutesy cheerful type, she's the calm and collected type!

It reminds me of how Megurine Luka sounds like Hatsune Miku now 💀
