'''Pauline''' is a character. She first appeared in the 1981 arcade game ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. She is the first damsel-in-distress whom [[Mario]] has gone on a journey to rescue. Pauline was relatively common in the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'' series]] and has become a recurring character in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]], but she was largely absent from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] until the [[Nintendo Switch]] era, with playable appearances such as ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. | |||
Pauline is a brunette woman (blonde in earlier appearances) who wears a red mid-length dress. She is also not averse to all forms of makeup, which is particularly evident in her almost obtrusive red lips. In later appearances, Pauline has also been seen wearing yellow earrings and a bracelet of the same color. | |||
In ''Donkey Kong'', Pauline is kidnapped by the title character, and [[Mario]] (then still [[Jumpman]]) sets out to rescue Pauline. Meanwhile, Pauline is by no means idle and provides her rescuer with all sorts of bonus items while he tries to reach [[Donkey Kong]] via the scaffolding. | In ''Donkey Kong'', Pauline is kidnapped by the title character, and [[Mario]] (then still [[Jumpman]]) sets out to rescue Pauline.

To avoid unnecessarily fueling Princess Toadstool's jealousy, Mario—at least as far as players know—stayed completely away from Pauline for the next twelve years, only attempting to rescue her again in the fall of 2006, exactly a quarter of a century after the first kidnapping, when Donkey Kong chose her as a third victim. This time, the plumber is aided by robot versions of himself, the [[Mini Marios]]s. Accordingly, the accompanying game is also called ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Mini Marios]]''. Here, we can admire Pauline for the first time in 3D graphics, and one can also objectively observe that the twenty-five years have seemingly passed her by without a trace. | To avoid unnecessarily fueling Princess Toadstool's jealousy, Mario—at least as far as players know—stayed completely away from Pauline for the next twelve years, only attempting to rescue her again in the fall of 2006, exactly a quarter of a century after the first kidnapping, when Donkey Kong chose her as a third victim.
