Why did nintendo put so much emphasis on Pauline being barefoot, to the point of not giving her any footwear on almost all of her costumes?

>>717052781 (OP)
nintendo is full of perverts who are into young girls

>>717053252
much like their fans.

it would be rude to have her digging her shoes into DK's back, think about it

Japanese people won't even wear shoes indoors, how inappropriate do you think it would feel for them to be putting their shoes on someone's back

>>717052781 (OP)
to groom the groomed zoomites out of feet faggotry and into loli chadom

>>717052781 (OP)
because DK doesn't wear shoes either

why not both?

I've not played the game yet, how cute does Pauline act in the game?

She talks about DK's giant hands too

Extremely

>>717055613
Why is she doing that?

>>717055313
She's cute and she has a lot of character development, which is fun.

>>717055540
>>717055613
Damn, I really need to get this game. Unfortunately Switch 2 is a bit out of budget for now

Because her footwear is a big spoiler at the end.

>>717056874
She's a Mario character, she's got that Mario proportions thing going on.

Pits>Feet

She doesn't wear shoes because Donkey Kong doesn't wear shoes

>>717052781 (OP)
They didn't. You hyperfixate on it because you have a fetish.

Same reason why plushfuckers think Animal Crossing has a chance of getting dating options or why gay furries see barabait when normal people see a cool gorilla monster.

It's actually just you, you're the fucking weird one.

why did Pauline fail to become popular with lolicons? it feels like she's barely taking off on /v/

That is an innocuous, forgettable line of dialogue. Kids run around barefoot, every human being related to this.

It sticks out to you because you have a fetish.

Pauline must be respected.

>>717061208
whats wrong with freckles?

>>717057402
Imagine how much these Mary Janes must hurt being embedded in your gorilla meat after a long time of carrying.

>>717056874
She also sounds 25, so if you average it out it's close enough.

>>717062910
They cause extreme averse reactions on people with no taste

>>717065679
seriously why do i only find freckles hate on 4chan? before using 4chan (2018) i have never seen anyone anywhere irl or on the internet have an issue with freckles. and even on 4chan ive only ever seen freckles hate this year alone. it came seemingly out of nowhere. before 2025 ive never seen it and now i see it a lot.

If Pauline turned into monke slowly overtime I would buy a switch 2 instantly, but she don't so no thx

>>717056413
I still think nu-DK looks fucking retarded

>>717052781 (OP)
It's literally because it makes her look more childish/rambunctious. You faggots always overthink everything

>>717056413
>donkey kong slaps with open hands (the way actual monkeys do it)
>Pauline uses her fists because that's how humans think monkeys do it
Soul

>>717066151
how do you excuse her winter outfit with a big, puffy coat leaving her barefoot?

>>717066085
Mario might have a daughter.

>>717066218
Finding out that gorillas have air sacs that they use to make that chest beating sound was a little disturbing

>>717066410
And you just might be autistic

>>717066410
Fuck off, autist

>>717066350
I did the same thing as a kid too, and I'm not joking. I loved being barefoot so much I would even run out into the snow barefoot until it hurt so fucking bad I had to run back inside

>>717066410
Honest to god, why are you so desperate to hold on to this crack theory?

>>717052781 (OP)
She's clearly designed to resemble a cave woman with the messy hair and tattered clothes.
Your dumbass never watch the Flintstones or something? None of them wore shoes.

>>717055313
c-cute and she sings a lot (cute)

>>717066534
why is this child wearing lipstick and eyeshadow

>>717066410
Ninteno confirmed Mario is an incel last week.
you're thinking of Dr. Mario who cannonically has a daughter called Kinoppe

>>717067921
No, they just confirmed that Mario and Peach are not in a romantic relationship.
There is plenty of evidence that points to my theory being correct, or at least, plausible.

>>717055903
From what?

nintentooddlers arguing about
>lore
in games with no lore
Looool

>>717068635
Please don't be mean to us.
Super Mario theories have never hurt anybody.

>>717068495
Mario shows no romantic feelings towards any character is what Nintendo is implying

>>717069141
What about the romantic feelings he shows towards Peach in Super Mario Odyssey?

>>717069287
good question, or all the kissing, hand holding, etc over the years, why Nintendo decided last week to just get rid of that i don't know.

>>717069407
Hmm...

It's to have a connection with DK obviously. He's also barefoot. Synergy.

Also it's kind of "wild" or "natural" to be barefoot. Also it's how you spiritually connect to the earth.

>>717060809
If she has braces she would have literally been the most perfect design ever created.

>>717070158
Can't believe this cute girl would grow up to become Mario's canonical love interest

>>717070302
Why does she jump like Mario and make the "Waaaah!" sound that Mario makes?

>>717070564
That's just what humans do on the Mario universe.

Wario and Waluigi do that too but they're not related to Mario. Rosalina does that too.

>>717070564
Neither of those are traits unique to Mario
But riddle me this, why does Pauline talk about how her grandma would be upste if she knew that she was eating sugar before bed, as if her grandma was raising her while her parents are out of the picture?
It would be wierd for two very important public figures, ones Nintendo wants to be positive role models to children, to be absentee parents

>>717070636
former is anti-mario and latter is debatable is related to Luigi

>>717070636
But Pauline is always depicted in a relationship with Mario.
And there are also subtle design choices that can connect Bananza Pauline to Mario, such as her more round facial structure, and her thicker eyebrows.

>>717070564
Mario must be every Toads' dad too then cuz they all do that shit

>>717070701
She only talks about her grandma because the players are supposed to figure out who her parents are on their own.

>>717070952
>such as her more round facial structure
Child

>>717067242
when do you think girls learn to put on makeup

>>717071058
That makes no sense, a child would only mention her grandma or another relative instead of her mother or father during a statement like that, if there was no mother or father
Additionally, Pauline is seen performing on the street wearing dirty rags
The whole thing works much better as Odyssey Pauline's origin story, a rags to riches situation as a result of conquering her fear and thus being able to use her talent to escape her precarious living conditions, which the daughter of a mayor/singer and a famous hero wouldn't experience at all

>>717052781 (OP)
>Why did nintendo put so much emphasis on Pauline being barefoot, to the point of not giving her any footwear on almost all of her costumes?

Originally, I thought it was for cultural conformity. Pauline has been living with Kongs for who knows how long and none of them wear shoes, so why would she? But I'm starting to think the foot fetish people might be right.

>>717053252

I had to laugh when I read a Japanese interview where the art/dev team admitted to deliberately making the Splatoon characters significantly more sexual than usual. They supposedly got permission and everything.

There are three generations of Paulines.

>>717071312
>Pauline has been living with Kongs for who knows how long and none of them wear shoes, so why would she?
I thought this too before the game came out once the costumes started being revealed, but then it turned out that Pauline had never even seen a Kong when the game starts
And not only that, but the Kongs are only present for a small portion of the game while other animal groups, like the Zebras and Ostriches, actually all wear shoes and could provide them for Pauline in their clothing stores if she wanted
The only actual explanation given in-game is an off handed remark about how she "likes to run around barefoot"

>>717071312
Swanky Kong and Funky Kong (on occasion) wears shoes

>>717052781 (OP)
Because she is suppose to mirror a monkey in aesthetics.
Donkey kong also doesn't wear any shoes.

Not everything is sexual you gooner

>>717066592
Cute. You should still do that anon

What did Nintendo mean by this?

>>717071445
it's really just that simple.

>>717072745
Thank you.

>>717071892
but DK is topless with just a tie. with optional pants. are you saying Pauline should mimic that?

>>717072745
That's the complete opposite of simple
Simple would be both Paulines being the same character

>>717072867
How is that simple?
It leads to contradictions.

>>717072173
>letting a 13 yo kid dressing like a slut
No...

>>717052781 (OP)
How could anyone honestly find cartoon feet arousing... they don't even have toenails, they're like plastic, wtf fellas.

I'm more interested in why did they put overt barashit into the game

>>717067242
my niece started learning how to put on make up around the age of 10

>>717073015
Such as?
The alternative requires huge leaps of logic

>>717072173
Hot

>>717073221
Gay

>>717073221
I'm moreso surprised artists haven't capitalized on bara x loli fanart yet

>>717073428
Please name the leaps of logic.

>>717073410
Hope you shamed her parents

>>717073714
you're on 4chan faggot i should be shaming YOUR partents.

>>717072173
Garish shit like everything else in the game

Dreamworks' Pauline and Sethy Kong? No thanks.

>>717074012
I want more Mario movie games.

>>717052781 (OP)
>to the point of not giving her any footwear on almost all of her costumes?
It's unironically because she is on DK all the time and it'd be rude to have shoes while on DK's back.
And then foot fetishists like you and others project and insist it has to be something else.

>>717071663
In all honesty, I liked running around barefoot as a kid too so I can believe it's mostly done to emphasize her childishness.
That said there are definitely some connoisseurs among Nintendo devs that appreciated this design choice a little more than the rest

>>717057428
This. It’s obvious the same footfag pedo keeps making these threads. They’ve always been the worst part of coming to 4chan.

>>717073554

I could go on but the theory simply doesn't hold up to scrutiny nor does it conform to the treatment Nintendo gives to it's characters

Ok so how does
Bananza
Relate to
Mario 64
Wind waker
Banjo kazooie
And botw?
Where does bananza fit into the lore?

How can there be multiple donkey kongs? Why are there evil kongs and good kongs?

>>717073940
>too retarded to understand the reference
kys

>>717074529
I understand the reference, I'm saying it looks like shit, even in the art you posted Lady has a natural looking shade of blonde and not the electric mustard shade like the Bananza skin, and much lighter makeup

>>717074643
yeah but its imitating the fucked 4bit ass arcade games neon colouring.

>>717074326
>this character is related to mario by blood because of characteristics children have (round face, stocky proportions, playful demeanor)
She is 13, if she were to be Mayor Pauline at 13, she would not look the way she does, nor have Mario's mannerisms.
>mario and pauline have abandoned their child for no discernable reason
They probably conceived her after Odyssey.
>the child of two well off celebrities is destitute for some reason
She probably stood on the street to practice performing in front of an audience.
>"timeline" and family tree gets extremely convoluted if it is the case
Please look at this timeline that I made.
>kid pauline being related to mario and pauline would be a REALLY big deal narratively speaking that wouldn't just be left out of her actual story in the game
It is left out so that the players can figure that out on their own.
>cranky kong was NEVER actually explicitly said to be the DK from the arcade games in any in-game media, that's just rare headcanon, and Cranky has also called current DK both his son and grandson interchangeably, implying that there's no set in stone internal canon for them
We will probably find out from Nintendo.

>>717057927
Because only imbeciles care about nintendo

>nintendo lore
>mario mario

>>717074908
>Please look at this timeline that I made
Your biggest mistake is thinking that these games happen sequentially and with an "order" you can figure out instead of being self contained adventures, like episodes of a classic cartoon such as popeye or looney tunes, which have no effect on each other and always end with a reset back to the status quo
Bananza is the only game that breaks this mold, but while still adhering to the rule of returning to the status quo by the end of the game, by showing the backstory of an established character and how they became what we see in other games
Aka, how Pauline went from street performer to famous singer, by the end of the post-game she even adopts the style she would keep into adulthood

Why must every game have a resident autist?

>>717075224
There are likely three generations of Paulines.
Each Pauline performs at City Hall.
Pauline from Donkey Kong Bananza might be a new Pauline.
One day, she might get kidnapped by the son of Rare DK, and be saved by a new Mario who is unrelated to Mario Mario nor Mario Jumpman.

>>717073714
Nah she's not my daughter so not my call. Besides, girls like feeling pretty, it's nothing new.

>>717075662
>There are likely three generations of Paulines.
There is nothing to actually indicate that this is the case
Pauline never once mentions her grandmother or mother being a singer, which would be a pretty important detail for her own arc of being a singer herself
Stop being autistic, your fanfic is not canon
