Pauline has not been heard from since, as she has been replaced by Princess Peach as Mario’s love interest. It is rumored that Pauline may be romantically involved with Stanley the Bugman, but this is pure speculation. However she will return in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis.

Pauline was named after the movie serial, The Perils of Pauline. Much like her video game counterpart, the movie character Pauline constantly gets kidnapped.

In the Super Mario Brothers Movie there is a character named Daniella who is Mario's girlfriends; Daniella is based on Pauline.

She will appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, where she is going to get kidnapped by Donkey Kong. Mario of course, will have to save her but with the help of Mini-Marios. Since the game takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom, it is unknown what Peach would say about Mario saving Pauline.
