The New Donk City singer Pauline and Ninji will be joining the cast of Super Mario Party Jamboree when the Switch game releases on October 17. She has been in the series since the original Donkey Kong arcade game launched in 1981, so this is a long time coming.
Two Classic Characters Join Super Mario Party Jamboree
Pauline is a classic Nintendo character that hadn't reappeared in the Super Mario series until recently. She starred as a singer of the wonderful theme, "Jump Up Superstar," which has delighted fans of Nintendo around the world. You can also find her in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate singing the track on the New Donk City stage. Since then, she's appeared in Mario Kart Tour, Mario Golf: Super Rush, Mario Strikers: Super League, and even the movie in a cameo appearance.
Ninji is also a longtime Nintendo character that first appeared in the NES' Super Mario Bros. 2. This creature has appeared in the mobile game Super Mario Run, Super Mario Maker 2, and most recently Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are prominent enemies within the Paper Mario series as well. It makes sense that Ninji takes up a character slot in Super Mario...
