Nine months after its debut on Switch, Mario Tennis Aces’ free post-launch support thunders on, with Pauline waiting in the wings to join as new playable character tomorrow. And we now know who’s coming next, too.
Pauline, first seen in 1981’s Donkey Kong and better known as Mayor of New Donk City these days, is the ninth playable character to be added to Mario Tennis Aces post-launch (and the 25th character in total), following on from Boom Boom, Koopa Troopa, Blooper, Diddy Kong, Birdo, Koopa Paratroopa, Shy Guy, Petey Piranha, and Luma.
Out on the court, Pauline is considered a Speedy-type character, which, as you might imagine, means she’s a nimble soul, able to move around at a fairer lick than other types. However, Speedy characters, which include Toad, Yoshi, Diddy Kong, and Koopa Trooper, usually feature reduced power or reach by way of balance.
