Pauline Is Playable in Super Mario Party Jamboree

Nintendo has confirmed everyone’s favorite mayor and lounge singer Pauline is a playable character in Super Mario Party Jamboree.

The game has just received an official website in Japan and a handful of screenshots show Pauline participating in minigames alongside series staples Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and so on.

X/Twitter user @NSuperGamerGuy spotted Pauline’s inclusion, which will mark the first time she’s appeared in a Super Mario Party game. Though first introduced in 1981’s Donkey Kong, Pauline was relatively forgotten until her appearance in Super Mario Odyssey as a supporting case member to Mario.

She has since appeared in myriad Mario sports games including Mario Tennis Aces, Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Golf: Super Rush, and Mario Strikers: Battle League.

Super Mario Party Jamboree was announced during the June 2024 Nintendo Direct with an October 17, 2024 release date. Players will compete in an island resort across seven game boards, taking part in more than 110 minigames as they go.

“Mario and friends arrive on an enormous island resort in Super Mario Party Jamboree,” reads the official synopsis. “Explore five new game boards: Ride the escalators in Rainbow Galleria, stay on track in Roll ’em Raceway, and mix things up with an active volcano in Goomba Lagoon, just to name a few. Two boards from previous Mario Party games are making a return too.”
