Given her clothes and makeup, she also seems to be quite fashionable. She seems to think highly of herself but not enough to be considered egotistic she also is kind-hearted and enjoys spending time with her friends. Though in the first Donkey Kong game she was just a damsel-in-distress and, as such, didn't play an integral part in the story of the game (as characters back then were merely mechanisms for players to navigate through the game without any interactions with the environments or other characters), in her more recent incarnation in the Mini-Land games she is represented as being sweet, laid-back and caring, as well as having a sense of humor and eye for business. Kate Higgins voiced Pauline, who formerly voiced Miles 'Tails' Prower and recently voices Princess Aurora, Wave the Swallow and Tina Armstrong.

Pauline made her appearance in Super Mario Odyssey, where she is the mayor of New Donk City. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis for the Nintendo DS, where she appears as the guest of honor in the opening of the Super Mini-Mario World theme park. Whereas the original arcade game's cabinet depicts Pauline with blond hair, the Game Boy remake features a redesigned modern Pauline as a brunette, distinguishing her from the blond-haired Peach, wearing a sleeveless red dress with a torn skirt. Pauline did not appear in another game until the 1994 Game Boy version of Donkey Kong, where she was once again taken captive by Donkey Kong and his son. Princess Peach, who was introduced in Super Mario Bros., took Pauline's place as the damsel-in-distress in that game, eventually becoming Mario's primary romantic interest in most of the subsequent games in the series. It was during the game's distribution in North America that she was given the name Pauline after Polly James, the wife of Nintendo of America's warehouse manager, Don James.įollowing her first appearance in Donkey Kong, Pauline appeared in Family Basic and in Pinball for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

In the same way, Mario was originally called 'Jumpman,' Pauline was simply referred to as ' Lady' ( レディ ?) in Japan. Mayor Pauline ( ポリーン ?) is a character that was the original damsel-in-distress whom her love interest, Mario must rescue from the eponymous ape in the original Donkey Kong, which marked their debut.
