Nintendo has revealed that Pauline will be the second new character joining the roster of the upcoming Super Mario Party Jamboree.

Having first debuted as the kidnapped damsel in distress in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong, the character’s most significant recent appearance was as the mayor of New Donk City in 2017's Super Mario Odyssey. Although definitely still one of the lesser-known Nintendo characters, she has managed become a bit of a mainstay of modern Super Mario spin-off titles of late.

Pauline is not the only new character coming to Super Mario Party Jamboree. The game will also feature Ninji, a ninja-like enemy first seen in the North American version of Super Mario Bros. 2 on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is set to release for Nintendo Switch on October 17. From everything that we've seen so far, it's really shaping up to be a treat for Mario Party fans, boasting more than 110 minigames - the largest number of any Mario Party game so far. It also has seven unique boards, including remakes of the classic Western Land and Mario’s Rainbow Castle.
