    When you really think about it, it’s understandable as to why Pauline didn’t start appearing more often until Super Mario Odyssey. Since she really didn’t have any identity or character other than being kidnapped by Donkey Kong. (Or at least it seems that way about her character) Super Mario Odyssey is where she was given more character development and that is why she has made many appearances since then.

      She always had more "glamour" than the other human Mario girls imo (Peach may have beauty but she's a lot more innocent and purehearted, Daisy is a screaming "party girl", and Rosalina's personality can be described with one word and that's "mom" [not that that's a bad thing]), but Odyssey giving her a focus on spectacle definitely gave her more depth beyond being "sexy lady that Mario may've dated once"

      @@robbiewalker2831 It's a different issue imo; I WISH the "subseries" had more of a consistent presence within general Mario spinoffs. Super Sluggers giving Wario a whole city area yet having to fill it with lesser Koopa Troop mooks is so jarring when the entire WarioWare cast would've fitted right in in there.
      It's already bordering on miracles that Luigi's Mansion, Yoshi's Island, and Donkey Kong Country all still get different levels of recognition in said spinoffs, but even they aren't getting much (except maybe DKC)

I'm so glad they finally revamped her character now and made her an official Mario character.

    Pauline is definitely a mainstay now. Despite her being one of the first Mario’s character, she’s given the new character treatment in the Switch era. Like Wario on GameBoy, Bowser Jr. and Toadette on GameCube, and Rosalina on Wii. I’m excited to see her playable in future spinoffs and maybe in more mainline games!

    And with all she's been given in just the Switch era alone, I wouldn't be surprised she ends up joining the next Smash, and would be pretty cool too

    I think she's here to stay permanently. As you said, Mario's cast isn't exactly flowing with loads of female characters. Before Rosalina, the only major ones were Peach and Daisy with Toadette and Birdo only appearing every so often. Now with Rosalina being a recurring one alongside Pauline's proper re-entry into the series, the Mario series' female cast has grown much more which is great because having more female characters will appeal to girls and guys who like to play as girls.
    And not to mention that her inclusion in Jamboree makes it to where you can now have a full set of four female characters playing together for the first time in the Mario Party series.
