Mario and Pauline in Pinball

Mario's girlfriend from Brooklyn. Wonder what this beauty does now?
 

Introduction

    Mario´s old girlfriend from the old days when he was still a carpenter in Brooklyn. Unfortunately he had to leave her when he travelled to Mushroom Kingdom. Pauline has starred in Donkey Kong and in a bonus game in Pinball (NES).


Can Mario save his girlfiend Pauline from Donkey Kong?

Description
    Pauline is depicted as having blue eyes that are somewhat lighter in color to Mario's, however due to her sparse appearances in Mario games it is unknown if this color was intentional or will be reoccurring, her hair is of a dark brown color with what appears to be under tones of burgundy in some official art; Pauline's hair is styled high to show her forehead and is long. Pauline wears a lot of makeup - her choice is violet eye shadow, red lipstick and nail polish, also her eyebrows are very defined and large.

Her attire consists of gold earrings that appear to be small circles with odd shaped ovals hanging from them, with a matching gold bangle/ bracelet on her left arm, she wears a tight reaveling red dress which so far has only been seen ripped at the bottom so the type of trim it may have or true length is unknown, she wears black high heels with a strap securing them in some art of Pauline.
