wrote: On the Saturday Supercade's Donkey Kong shorts, Pauline was Mario's niece instead of his girlfriend. (To modern fans, this would cause some confusion, as it would indicate that Pauline would be Luigi's daughter, or the daughter of an unknown sibling of Mario.) Her voice was provided by Judy Strangis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline
the is some little known lore behind the romances and lives of the mario brothers. although most of it is theoretical and unconfirmed, it is usually agreed in the gaming world that this is the correct information. But, since it is VERY obscure, i search high and low and read up (and being a mario fan doesnt hurt a bit )
Pauline is, in fact, luigi's daughter.
The whole idea of her being mario's girlfriend is not entirely correct. She does, hoever, have a secret crush on her heroic uncle and rewards him with a kiss when she is rescued.
Pauline is the daughter of Luigi and Princess Daisy. Daisy, being a distant cousin of Princess Peach, was captured a long time ago. In The Super mario world of gaming, usually, mario would save her. this is true in the games. however, you can save her as luigi and the story is that luigi originally saved her and they both fell in love.
Mario and Peach also have a meaningful relationship as well, but due to Daisy's distance in the family, all 4 feel that everyone's relationship is okay (the brother's are italian, remember this )
Pauline, in her own life, has decided to stay in Brooklyn and live a normal human being's life, whereas thanks to the love interests of her estranged uncle and father, they continue to live the mushroom kingdom, which is in fact, where they were born.
When they were still babies, they were taken to the real world to grow up and become heroes (the local lore of the mushroom kingdom about heroes and the real world) So they would someday save the mushroom kingdom from the ever-growing threat of bowser.
So they grew up in their adopted italian family, became plumbers and were generally normal, until they were wisped away on the job to the mushroom kingdom, summoned by little Toad because Peach was kidnapped. It was only coincidence that the brothers ended up there.
Mario and luigi's real parents have been missing since the brothers were born, but it is rumored that they are either dead or under bowser's control/imprisonment.
So mario is on a never-ending quest to battle bowser, find his parents and clean up the mystery of his past, which even he doesnt fully realize (to him, he is still a real world native, but little does he know, he was born in the mushroom kingdom)
and thats pretty much the lore of mario and luigi that has been accepted by fans around the world, although some of the facts stated are still being argued, i feel this is the most believable chronology of mario and luigi's lives, as im sure most of you would agree as well, at least i hope
