Mini Pauline

The Mini Paulines are toys designed by the Mario Toy Company after Pauline. They first appeared in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! and returned in Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars. They are playable in the Main Game and the Construction Zone (Create and Share in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move). They also appear in the Toy Collection on Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move. The player can also unlock Mini Paulines in both games.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!
They first appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! During the game, they are given to the first 100 guests in the park. Donkey Kong tries to obtain one, but is customer number 101, causing him to go on a rampage and kidnap full-scale Pauline when Mario says that there are no more left. After the player beats the Plus Mode, he or she will witness the second ending, where Mario finally gives Donkey Kong a Mini Pauline. Like all the other Minis besides Mini Marios, they are sealed in a capsule and can be freed when Mini Mario touches them.

Mini Paulines also appear during gameplay. Though they act no different than Mini Marios; they must be taken into their own doors to complete the stage. They are the last kind of mini to appear in a level in Mini-Land Mayhem! and introduced as gameplay elements in Cannon Cove. Mini Pauline can be unlocked for Construction Zone levels that use the Multi Door when the attraction is beaten. They can be used in other levels when all Trophies and M-Tokens are collected. Once Normal Mode is beaten, they then appear in Plus Mode as early as Warped Mansion. Outside of the fourth level of an attraction, they act identically to Mini Marios, however, all the minis in the level (regardless of which level it is) must be taken to the door in the right order; As they were introduced last, Mini Paulines are always last in the order of levels they appear in.

Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move
In Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move after playing each minigame after completing every minigame once in Minigames Mode, the player can use Mini Paulines.

In this game, Mini Pauline's appearance is slightly redesigned, no longer having dress traps, now with pink lips and ball instead of "C" shaped hands and a more updated hair and body shape. In the Toy Collection mode, Mini Pauline also has her own version of the game's theme song. Furthermore, as an homage to Pauline's earlier appearances, Mini Pauline will shout, "Help! Help!" when she is in danger and in the Toy Collection mode will wave at the player, similarly to how Pauline waves in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis during the opening scenes.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars
Mini Paulines are set to reappear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars. Once again, they act exactly the same as the other mini toys, including the newly-introduced Mini Luigi. To unlock them for use in the level editor, the player must pay 100 stars in the Workshop Store. Unlike the other minis, they are a part of the Gameplay Set instead of a world set.
