The Mayor of New Donk City: Pauline for Smash Switch!

KirbyWorshipper2465 · Jun 23, 2020

I will say, I kinda liked how Sak specifically pointed out Pauline's spirit battle as one of the tougher ones. Goes to show how much of a deal she is now.

zipzapsparkle · Jun 29, 2020

All of her spirits are Legendary. In Mario Kart Tour her characters are high ends. In the Mario vs DK games her stamp was the final one and her minis was one of the harder to unlock. I wonder what they’re trying to say.

So I'm not the only one who's noticed how Pauline's blatantly been getting rather special treatment in all kinds of contexts...

So, it's proof that she'll be top tier once she gets into Smash. That's the real reason why she's passed over for now, the balancing team could barely be able to contain her in a game this big.

As it should, being the first Mario gal.

Made an account just for this, lol. Honestly surprised she isn't in yet, if this is a celebration of gaming, then why isn't the first Mario girl/game character of all time in the game yet? Honestly rootin' for her.

I think that’s a good selling point for her. I hope he notices her.

KirbyWorshipper2465 · Jul 1, 2020

On the bright side, there aren't too many major Mario characters left that haven't been picked. Only 2 at most would get in over her. 3 if Square isn't reluctant in regards to Geno.

I found a really nice moveset for her, it’s made by DExus from YT.

Ain't a really great title though, lol.

I can live with something that's Tempting Fate 101, even if it'll take quite a bit of time for that to occur.

zipzapsparkle · Jul 2, 2020

I don’t agree with the title either, I just liked the moveset.

If Pauline got in, would you prefer her red dress or her mayoral suit be the default?

Red dress (as the default) + 3 recolors and Mayoral suit + 3 recolors.

That said, I'd personally like for them to be organized in the same manner as Isabelle's Summer (default) clothes and Winter clothes.

Her dress, would fit more for a default honestly, but it would be a crime to not include the mayor outfit.

Lady in red. Mayor suit as an alt is needed, of course.

Laniv · Jul 7, 2020

Another follow up question, since I'm working on a Pauline moveset: would you prefer Pauline to wear her hat or go bareheaded?

Her hat. Thats much worse than a crime if they dont include it.. Its a felony..

Bareheaded, for me.

KirbyWorshipper2465 · Jul 15, 2020

Apparently, Zippo recently stated on ResetERA that 3D World would be likelier to have new stuff compared to the 64, Sunshine and Galaxy remasters.

Hopefully this leads to playable Pauline and maybe even

Hmm... what do you think Pauline would look like with all those power-ups being used? Actually, in the event that she's playable, do you think she should wear her usual dress or...?

I'd assume it'd be the usual dress, if we go by Aces. It's her most consistent look across the board.

People seem to forget that Nintendo is a company, a company that if they wanted that moola, they can make anything (as in characters and idk buisness stuff) work, that goes for smash too. But as in 3d world, yeah probably dress, maybe a bit more puffy.

Here praying that Pauline is playable in a Switch port of 3D World.

Honestly, not counting on it, I'm trying to keep standards low just so I don't get disappointed. If she does get in though, then god is real. The only thing I'm worried about though is if they throw a "new super Mario bros" on us and only add like Toadette and a few new levels.

Laniv · Jul 16, 2020

If the 3D world switch port is happening, I imagine we'll probably see some concessions to New Donk City, possibly in the form of some new levels added to the postgame.

Of course, ideally, Pauline and Daisy would also be given playable roles...

zipzapsparkle · Jul 17, 2020

I think Daisy is likelier for 3D world port but she can’t be a Yellow cat, would probably be white. Pauline could easily be the red cat. I hope she makes it, it would make that game so much more enjoyable to me.

Deleted member · Jul 17, 2020

Seeing how Rosalina uses the Mario spin from Galaxy in 3D World, I could see Pauline using her hat similar to Cappy in that game if she gets on the Switch port.

Probably for extra jump height.

zipzapsparkle · Jul 17, 2020

I can’t think of how her music abilities can fit the game, since that’s usually her theme. I like the hat idea though, it’s fitting.

Do a quick ditty that distracts enemies for a few seconds? It'd be like the "bops" in NSMB, but on a greater scale.

WhyYouReadingMyNamePal? · Jul 17, 2020

I feel as if Pauline would need to be a bit more physical in 3d world, maybe a slight bit of music powers here and there. Even though this isn't really in the discussion, I think her music abilities would be great for smash.

zipzapsparkle · Jul 17, 2020

I like the extended bop idea, since nobody uses it in 3D world afaik.

WhyYouReadingMyNamePal? Her music theme definitely easier to work with in Smash.

With Pikmin 3 Deluxe's surprise announcement, it's one step closer to us getting the 3D World port.

Mariomaniac45213 · Aug 6, 2020

Idk how I haven't posted in here yet. But I support Pauline 100%. She is my favorite female Mario character. I would love to own a Pauline amiibo. I have my doubts for this Smash. But I could definitely see her as a shoo-in for the next Smash.

- Pauline
- Dixie Kong
- Krystal
- Bandana Dee
- Captain Toad/Explorer Toadette

Are my last wants for Smash Bros.

zipzapsparkle · Aug 8, 2020

Oh my that’s pretty nice she managed to land a spot in your most wanted list.

For me there are a lot of characters I’d appreciate and enjoy, but Pauline is definitely my most wanted.

KirbyWorshipper2465 · Aug 16, 2020

It seems that Odyssey will be featured in Summer Games Done Quick this year.

Still working on that Pauline moveset! Question: would you prefer a Mini-Mario based move to be a neutral special or a down special?

Hmm... I'd go with a down special. You know, like Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings' Mechakoopas.

I see... I ask because most other fanmade movesets for Pauline have the Minis as her neutral special.

What about a singing move? Would that work for a neutral special or a side special?

zipzapsparkle · Aug 27, 2020

Side special I think
