'''Pauline''' (initially known as '''Lady''' or '''the Lady''' in Japan) wasis [[Mario]]'s (or [[Jumpman]]'s) original girlfriend and the original damsel-in-distress in the arcade game ''[[Donkey Kong (arcade game)|Donkey Kong]]'' who was captured by Cranky Kong. She is one of the few damsels in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series who is not a princess, but simply a woman.
 
==History==
===''Donkey Kong'' series===
====''Donkey Kong''====
 
Upon her kidnapping, Jumpman climbed up the building to save her from Donkey Kong, along the way collecting [[Pauline's items|various articles]] Pauline had dropped, such as her purse or umbrella, for bonus [[Point|points]].
 
====''Pinball''====
 
Pauline appeared in the ''Mario Breakout'' mode of [[Pinball]], where she was held on many blocks breakable by Mario, and had to be caught by him before she hit the floor to win.
 
After this, Pauline was dropped as damsel and love interest to Mario (in favor of [[Princess Peach]]), and was not featured in a ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' game for ten years.
 
====''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)''====

Eventually, Pauline was given a complete redesign and was featured in the Game Boy version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'', also known as ''Donkey Kong '94''. In this retelling of ''Donkey Kong'', Mario pursues the big ape (and his son [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]) as he carries Pauline across a variety of locales (the original city setting is only the first world visited). Once more, Pauline is eventually rescued by Mario.

Pauline made her next reappearance twelve years after ''Donkey Kong '94'', in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''. The games starts out with the grand opening of the Super Mini Mario World Theme Park, where Pauline is Mario's guest of honor. While their relationship status went unmentioned in the game, the manual stated that Mario and Pauline were simply great friends at this time.
 
Line 51 ⟶ 54:
Pauline got her current appearance in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''. The only changes made to her outfit from the original redesign are that she now has a golden bangle on her left arm, a bow knot at the back of her dress strap, ankle-strap pumps replacing her previous Mary Jane style, and red finger nails. This was the first game that showed Pauline's dress before becoming ripped. It is shown to end just above her ankles and appears to loosen two thirds the way down her legs to slightly frill out.
