>barefoot in every single outfit except one, even in the ones that should reasonably have footwear
>only reason given by the game is that "she likes running around without shoes"
what did nintendo mean by this?

>>715985060 (OP)
She obviously enjoys platforming around town, like her dad.

What's with all the feet shit in games this year?

>>715985276
It's the same Pauline from Odyssey though, I don't think it's ever stated that her family is relevant in any way
It's not uncommon for a rowdy tomboy to grow up into a feminine lady

>>715985713
Anon, look at all of this evidence.
I get that people might not be ready for such a drastic change of direction in the Super Mario franchise.

>>715985060 (OP)
i love how fat and meaty her feet look in this shot

>>715985424
Realistically how many steps could you take before going "ow FUCK" and stopping to check the bottom of your foot in case anything sharp got stuck?

>>715985060 (OP)
Shes a wild child. It's a trope, which works well as this games Jane to Donkey's Tarzan. Do zoomers not know shit these days?

>>715986217
Half of this "evidence" boils down to "looks and acts like a child"
It's a big stretch, specially considering Nintendo's extreme reluctance to modify the mario universe status quo in any way, shape or form
I feel like that alone completely eliminates any possibility of this being true, a much simpler explanation is that this game is an odyssey prequel

>>715986440
Nintendo modified the status quo when they showed Mario and Pauline bonding and Peach denying his marriage proposal in the same game.
A mainline Mario game.
A mainline 3D Mario game.
The flagship mainline Super Mario title of the Switch 1's library.

>>715986217
Reminds me of the Game Theory video
>Rosalina is Peach's daughter because earlobes

>>715986898
You literally listed an example of an event that happened so the status quo wouldn't change

>>715987479
I think that my Pauline III theory has more evidence.

Remember Wapeach? They should make a Wapauline who acts as loli Pauline's opposite.

Being her opposite Wapauline wears just shoes and nothing else.

>>715986383
Lune floats

>>715985060 (OP)
They meant that she likes running around without shoes, children do be like that.

>>715987605

>>715987780
I could see a 5 year old being like that, not a 13 year old

>>715985424
foot fetishism became mainstream on the internet
some people include it because they know it will please a large audience
some people tease with it because they view it as something funny

>>715985424
Nobody cares about your shitty fetish

>>715985424
dunno

>>715988010
Depends where the kid is from. People from poorer countries will walk around barefoot, and even the relatively rich shithole of Australia has adults walking around barefoot like a bunch of cavemen

>>715985060 (OP)

I think Shigeru Miyamoto didn't want her stepping on DK's back.

>>715985060 (OP)
No one would wear shoes if they had to. It's just that human feet are unreasonably delicate. She is obviously already used to running around barefoot so she is used to it.

"Waaaah!" says Pauline, as she falls out of the level.

>>715985060 (OP)
It's a style

>>715986217
Nah, Mario and Pauline are probably cousins or something.

>>715997512
Would Mario's cousin be trying to get back into a romantic relationship with him?

>>715997974
They're Italians, don't discriminate

>>715998117
Nintendo would not promote romance between cousins.

Now that Donkey Kong is Donkey Kong again, does that mean we'll see him again any time soon?

>>715985276
the designer wanted the daughter of mario and pauline. doesn't mean it ended up canon.

>>715998191
I sure fucking hope not. Get rid of this baby shit.

>>715985060 (OP)
They don't acknowledge your shitty irrelevant fetish, is what they meant. Go away footfag.

You can thank Miyazaki

Footchads fucking won

What do you mean?
Of course it is canon.

>hey, a map!

SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>715997974
Cousin marriage is legal in New York State

>>715998510
That doesn't mean that Nintendo is going to promote that.

>>715997974
>>715998185
Nintendo is japanese, they would. They already have journey to the west shit in DK Bananza. Might as well insert in the rest of the their myth.

>>715998510
Its like a 5 hour drive to Maryland.

>>715998708
Nintendo is aware of how western audiences wouldn't approve of cousins in a romantic relationship.
Why are you being disingenuous?

>>715998307
imagine being this deluded

>>715985060 (OP)

>>715985060 (OP)
Sometimes its just that simple

>>715998191
Sure, why not, as part of a Mario Kart DLC pack in 2029.

>>715986217
The M hair is pretty convincing

>>715999383
Adult Pauline has the exact same hairline though

>>715999592
Pauline III's hair is different.

>>715999135
Go away footfag.

>>715999747
In that it isn't as long, adult pauline's hair doesn't have those bangs because they're slicked back

>>715999851
Her hair is shaped like an M, and looks a mustache.

>>715999592
The new one is very intentionally sytlized to look like an "M" above her hairline, but I can accept it's just a design nod to old Donkey Kong

>>715999942
>Her hair is shaped like an M
So is adult pauline's
>and looks a mustache
Hair looks like hair, wow

The hell is wrong with Mario’s face

>>715985060 (OP)
Japanese birthrate is at an all time low, we must make lonely men horny so future generations buy more nintendo, puris understando.

>>716000152
There was never an official Pauline until Nintendo made her into brunette. Blonde there is called Lady in the OG game, and she is no longer canon.

>>716000286
That's Jumpman, he inspired Mario.
The woman has always been Pauline though.

>>715996246
Oh I'm gonna extend my bananza alright.

>>716000349
>and she is no longer canon.
Aye, she was displaced by fraud Pauline.

>>715986217
Can someone tell me why i'm seeing this every thread, even though the game tells us directly what the deal is?

women don’t need to shoes to go from the bedroom to the kitchen

>>715999051
How is it disingenuous? There was clearly a concerted effort to make Pauline to mirror Mario. This isn't the first japanese franchise to make a female version/mirror of the main character. It's up to the audience to interpret what that means. Whether there's a hidden meaning, a mythic invention, or if it's just a cartoon gimmick is up to the viewer.

Nindian thread

Pauline III's facial structure is more like to Mario's facial structure instead of Mayor Pauline's.

>>716000545
there is a legitimate schizophrenic turbo autist that snipes every thread and refuses to acknowledge that nintendo btfo'd his fanfic

>>716000545
Because theorizing is fun before release and (You) addicts are too stubborn to stop posting outdated theorizing

>>716000563
I'm the Pauline III theorist.
I was explaining that Nintendo wouldn't upset western audiences by making Mario and Mayor Pauline cousins who are in a romantic relationship.

the "Mario is Pauline's dad" schizo should stfu

>>715991597
I have more time spent in my life not wearing shoes then wearing shoes. It shoes were
1. Not a social requirement
2. Didn't provide necessary protection to humans
Then they would not be as prevalent as they are today.

>>715985060 (OP)
Please understand. The director is from Square-Enix, they're all perverts over there.

>>716000801
Everyone has
6-8 hours alone are spent shoeless every night by the average person, an extra 5 hours spent shoeless and boom, that's a wrap
Maybe some fucked up miners who've been mining for 40 years straight with no breaks have worn their shoes for longer than they haven't

>>716000794
Why is theorizing about Super Mario on the Video Games board worse than calling Donkey Kong Bananza woke over and over again?

>>715996246
is there upskirt?

>>716000623
it's called baby fat

>want to play as classic color brown DK
>can't because it's literally impossible to not have a full banaza meter meaning you are always glowing orange

>>716001106
Pauline shouldn't have that anymore.

>>715987479
Man if only MatPat himself was still doing Game Theory I would’ve liked to hear his thoughts on Young Pauline

Women's feet are sexual, men's are not
It's pretty simple

Manlet xisters, there chances to get an Amazon Ava Addams™ are not zero!!

"The Four F Fetishes" (feet, femdom, futa, furry) are all mainstream now. Making a game with one or more is almost guaranteed to generate attention.

Please tell me there's a cameo of the king of gaming. The gamer of the century.

>>716001806
It's funny. I can fap to traps, but the moment they try and show off their feet it becomes disgustingly homosexual.

I love feet as much as the next guy, BUT:

prepubescent girl feet don't smell
she walks barefoot thus her feet are dirty

all in all, it's gotta be a no from me dawg

>>715985060 (OP)
If only the game was on pc, nude mod would have been released in less than a month.

Shitendo locked the console just so people can't mod their games.

you know why

>>716008705
footfags are pretty gross people by default, the strawman isn't really needed. you just point at any foot-focused pic and say "that" and the point is made, you're a freak

>>716002065
Throw femboys in there and it's five

I'm honestly pretty convinced by the evidence in this thread that they were at least intending for Mario to be Pauline Jr's dad.

>>716012029
I'm honestly pretty convinced it's not

>>716005643
if she rides donkey each day for hours is kinda normal.

yeah, and it's not even a contest
i wouldn't associate with a footfag, they are ALWAYS fucking creepy obsessed people

>>716001621
not him but I can't think of any

>>716013416
I can't think of any for 2025 in particular, but I could probably think of more barefoot male video-game characters overall as opposed to female ones. Footfags just never notice the male ones. I'm just saying that a barefoot character doesn't automatically mean the art designer is a footfag

>>716005643
because it's an adult with a large head

>>716015757
anon has never seen a child

>>716015995
it's literally a stylized fat adult woman if you shrink the head

>>716016094
and children have proportionally larger heads compared to their stocky bodies

>>715996246

Got the true ending. Very cute game.

I think it’s kinda cool that the postgame is all about helping her make Jump Up Superstar. More games with DK and Pauline please, they’re very fun together

>>716001806
>Women's feet are sexual, men's are not
Finally someone who gets it

Stop it. There will only ever be one Pauline.

you need to understand
women love going around barefeet
I do not understand why but they literally would do this nonstop if they could

>>716018595
They don't. Most women I know refuse to even wear sandals. A lot of them are insecure about their feet, actually

>>716002065
Name one example of futa being "mainstream"

>>715985060 (OP)

>>715985424
Because feet are sexy and based, and you're a faggot for not seeing their appeal

I'm already getting sick of this game. I was going to buy it but now I'm not because of all the pedo shit. No, I don't want to be a part of your "movement", I don't care about c*nny even if you claim it's "based and redpilled". I don't care about the election or this other shit. Take your kiddy raping shit elsewhere. Remember when games were just games and not an excuse to push an agenda that literally no one else wants?

>>715985060 (OP)
why are her feet so fucking fat? look at that left foot

Porn artists draw nothing but futa trash these days. You actually have to go searching for normal porn instead of the other way around.

>>716019903
Well yeah, but you can pander to feet, femdom (ex. pretty much every dominatrix villainess in the past 30 years), furry (ex. Nine Sols), and femboy (ex. Lies of P) crowd in the mainstream. We still haven't seen a mainstream game do so with futa. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing that in the next 5 years though. The Overton window of degeneracy

>>716016150
they also have bodies that don't look like fat adult bodies, your point does not follow

>>715986217
wtf mario used to be a girl named pauline? I had no idea he was trans

>>716019727
i wonder how much they will censor this time

>>716020583
I thought it already came out a milion years ago?

>>716020914
Whoops, my apologies. I got confused for a moment and thought there was another demake in the works.

Since Void Kong is alive does that mean this game is getting a sequel

>>716022169
Maybe, maybe not, who knows. Read it more as them keeping him around for if they ever wanted to do more with him

>>716022169
He is Mario Kart dlc

>>716017849

It’s amazing that in the span of two mainline Mario games Pauline went from a literally who to best girl, she already has more personality than Peach. She’s also got a big ass in her racing outfit in MKW.

>>716001405
What is the matrat doing now by the way?
He rose to fame with his many fnaf theory vids but I don't remember even hearing about him after that except for the "that's a theory, a gaem theory" meme others kept repeating

>>716001947
Those bitches chose mario because his face is at standing cunnilingus level

>>716023321
He's a politician now
No I'm not kidding

>>715991024
Im so glad he's back bros ...

Why is she a midget? Children have big heads but they don't have giant hips. The only kinds of people with her proportions are midgets, fat women, and sometimes fat babies kind of.

>>715991024
Oh… oh I’m so big and FAT right now… too many rotten stinky bananas! BURP… I can’t eat another… BITE! BURRRRRP… passes gas, whoops!

Everyone talks about Pauline’s feet, but not the girl with the biggest feet in the game. They even dwarf DK.

Imagine getting smushed by those huge sneakers.

>>716000793
Was only saying that Mario games are cartoon fantasy. There doesn't have to be a real "canon" answer to what fills the lore blanks. It's whatever you want to interpret. There's no assurance that the Pauline and DK of this game and previous games are different characters. It's whatever you want to imagine.

>>716019360
Awful.

So instead of giving us Diddy. They gave us a Loli instead?

>>716029415
it's intentionally vague on where, why and when it takes place and it doesn't care about trying to set up a Donkey Kong Cinematic Universe in that way

>>716000152
If you really care its suggested in Bananza that Pauline's grandma is "Lady". Her song "Jump Up Superstar" is hinted to be a song dedicated to her Grandma.

>>716029953
Why is she talking about Mario in the song?
Why does the song sound like she's singing to Mario?

>>716030080
don't worry about it

>>716029719
The city's origin was said to be based on the original DK arcade game, that was said as much in Odyssey, and "Jump Up Superstar" was an origin song for the city and even with the new vague lore drops Bananze gives its still in line with the """""lore"""""" they established

>>716030080
She never states Mario's name, her allusions can easily be retconned into talking about some Mario ancestor we will never get to see

>>716030439
Jumpman Mario would at least have to not be related to Mario Mario for "Jump Up Super Star" to make sense.
Mario Mario and Mayor Pauline cannot be related.

>>716030791
Nah bro you are assuming "Jumpman Mario"'s name is Jumpman Mario when it could easily be Mario Jumpman(no relation)
What kind of last name is "Jumpman" you ask? Well if one of the most popular characters in recent media history can be called "Goodman" then I dont see any reason why Jumpman can also work, especially if you take into account that HE IS A JE-

>>716031074
Oh, ok.
So there's Mario Jumpman, and then there's Mario Mario.
Ok.

>>716012029
If one schizo posting can lead you to confirm this, I shudder to think how many slogans and core beliefs I picked up from 4chan came from one autistic retard shilling it until it felt like the entire world believed it.

I really want some interviewer to ask Miyamoto about cranky so that he can just confirm the retcon and shut you faggots up. It happened once before with the koopalings, I'm sure it can happen again.

>>715985060 (OP)
If you go to the hideout spot things and sleep there pauline will talk to DK and almost half of them so far she's been talking about something to do with feet.

I didn't realize pauline is mouthing the words to the theme when you have a bananza going
thats cute as fucking shit

This slow ass thread is still up? Wow I had no faith in it

MatPat 2028?

Kiddie feet tastes a bit spicy, it kinda leaves a vinagery taste in your mouth.

You can never really trust Nintendo to keep an extended canon but I do find it interesting how Pauline mentions a grandmother and you getting Lady's outfit when finishing the game.

>>716032668
Wouldn't be the weirdest thing to happen in modern politics

pauline is definitely old enough to have hair on her cunny

>>715985060 (OP)
I went running around in bare feet all of the time with my tomboy childhood friend as a kid.

So the line about Pauline being kidnapped by an ape in Odyssey was a reference to Void Kong. The continuity is still unchanged.

>>715985060 (OP)
Maybe Nintendo is smartening up. Let's see more barefoot girls, Nintendo.

>>716035710
Void Kong isn't an ape, and the Japanese translation says she was kidnapped by a gorilla.

>>715985424
Expedition 33 feet > pedo bait feet

>>716035753
>Void Kong isn't an ape,
Put aside how interchangeable ape and monkey is in this series, then this counts:
>Character Intro: Grumpy Kong: He's Void Company's director of manufacturing, but his latest task is to capture Pauline.
Oh, but now you want to cry that
>>716035753
>Japanese translation says she was kidnapped by a gorilla.
Mario thought it was a gorilla type Kong in Japan, in localization he says ape. Simple as., sotp overcomplicating things.

>>716036102
What are you trying to prove?
That Donkey Kong Bananza is Mayor Pauline's origin story?

>>716011436
>footfags are pretty gross people by default
pot meet kettle faggot, fuckoff, footfags are based as all hell

>>716001178
this. Kind of ruins the game a bit for me. If you turn off HDR he looks more brown which explains why the devs thought it was ok

I hate that she looks like a Jimmy Neutron character

>>715998367
safe horny
kojima fell off

>>715986217
So when Mario goes to New Donk in Odyssey, he's visiting his daughter?

>>716000379
Jumpman didn't "inspire" Mario, they're literally the same character.
You could argue that Bananza might've retconned them to be different characters (which I personally don't believe), but that doesn't change the original intent.

>>716037086
There nothing based about footfags, footfaggot

>>716000545
Nobody on /v/ owns a Switch 2 because it's composed of 95% underrage b&s who don't have their own disposable income so have to wait until Christmas when mommy and daddy buy them one. So they can't confirm it.

>>715985060 (OP)
there is someone very based working at nintendo

>>716037086
Feet are based, but footfags are more often than not nasty retards. A good thing can have a bad fanbase

Forget the feet, why all of her outfits are pure garbage?!

>>716041537
Yeah

>>716031823
Your base(d) purpose is to breed.

>>716041537

I will draw her lewds, but never with DK.
He does not race-mix.

CHILDREN FEETSIES... ToT

Where's the Pauloli AI sloppa some anon promised?

>omg what if Pauline is Pauline
retard debate

You aren't thinking galaxy brained enough
>Peach has told Mario "No" and has a Pauline backstory
>DK now has a Pauline backstory
>A third game in the "Pauline" era will just pay off the extremely obvious Mario vs DK setup

I think nintendo might have made a blunder.
This game clearly has an agenda to make me like Pauline more but all it makes me like is this version of her.
It's like enjoying teen gohan over adult gohan.
