Talk:Pauline

I've heard rumours that in the upcoming game, Pauline will be retconned as Mario's sister. Has anyone else heard this? Almighty Rajah 12:15, 4 August 2006 (EDT)
 * No, I think she just returns to the opening of Super Mini Mario World, not a sister. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 16:27, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

That was Mario's GF?....I'm not suprised....Mario and Peach make a better couple. Although Pauline is pretty!


 * LilBoo, Princess Butterfly, please move that kind of content to the Forums. This is a talk page to talk about article improvements, not fan ideas. ;)

Well That is the case in my fan fiction but that's it. Random Chaos 22:02, 8 January 2009 (EST)

Pauline as Mario's Niece
I've been looking all over to verify that in the Saturday Supercade she was Mario's niece, but I haven't come across any proof yet. She's a fellow trainer/handler at the circus, but that's all I got. Anyone have a source? 03:52, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

We could really use an image of Pauline from one of the cut-scene sequences in game. It is however hard to find any high enough quality ones. Could anyone who has or can obtain any appropriate ones please add them to the article. Thank you. Despot joil

Pauline's voice??
In Mario vs Donkey Kong: Mini-land Mayhem! Pauline is given one of her first larger speaking roles, along with this she seems to have gained her own unique voice and therefore voice actor. So, if anyone owns this game it be GREAT if they could see if the Staff Credits name a voice actress for Pauline so that the article may show it? (in the style of other voiced characters articles) THANKS!! Despot joil

Nevermind. Mario vs Donkey Kong: Mini-land Mayhem! Did not contain any voice actor information in the credits. Despot joil

Mario's Girlfriend
This is little more than a fan assumption. It's not like Peach where the bios confirm this, a silly heart appearing above them =/= love relationship. Can someone find proof for this or remove it?

The fact that Mario and Pauline were dating was plainly stated in the original Donkey Kong games they both appeared in. However in the instruction booklet of her first appearance in Mario VS Donkey series it states they are good friends. So they are no longer romantically involved, finding proof of their original relationship will be near impossible as the original Donkey Kong games are now decades old, but it is well known that during this time period the two were "an item". This is 100% accurate. Despot joil
 * Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem claims that she's still Mario's girlfriend however. Also, a heart appearing above them is supposed to mean love. Koopalmier (talk) 05:59, 6 October 2012 (EDT)
 * I checked the manual and it just says she's his friend. Are you talking about the heart? And yes, she is his girlfriend in the original, I checked.

Perhaps the heart over her head should just be taken as appreciation or just a strong response out of close friendship, and being rescued by her "hero" Mario. She may infact still have affection for him, but no longer romantically. Mostly it is actually a reference to the original Donkey Kong game where Pauline and Mario briefly stand apart with a floating heart between them to signify a happy ending. It's just a tip of the hat moment to more retro players. Finally owning the game Mini-Land Mayhem, I have just now checked the instruction booklet the only mention of their relationship is on PG7 (the characters page). It states - Pauline - Mario's glamorous friend and a special guest at Mini-Land's grand opening. And that's all it says on the matter. Hope this clears things up.

thier is a thoery that she ight be mario mother Mario&#38;Princess Peach (talk) 06:45, 24 September 2014 (EDT)

Right, so Super Smash Bros. for Wii U confirms that Pauline is (or was) Mario's girlfriend in one of the game's randomly-generated tips, so there goes that. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:51, 21 December 2014 (EST)

Picture
I think her picture should be updated to a more recent picture. It may not show the whole body, but it shows how she looks better. --Poponana2 (talk) 21:53, 3 January 2014 (EST)
 * There really isn't any solo artwork other than the one we're using. There's nothing wrong with using an old picture, especially if Pauline hasn't changed much over the years. 21:58, 3 January 2014 (EST)

Does she even HAVE a personality?
Doesn't look like it. BooDestroyer (talk) 16:04, 24 September 2014 (EDT)

Possible NEW profile picture?
Hey, so there is this transparent cut out of Pauline floating around. It's decent quality, but is not technically character artwork. So I'll post it here and see what other editors think? Despot_joil



Some might argue that this is a render, and artworks take precedence over in-game renders. 19:39, 10 February 2015 (EST)

The "Artwork" being used currently
It isn't an artwork: it is a fan art I made long ago by editing the image of her SSB4 trophy. Please, remove it. It is fan work+taken without my knowledgement.
