Nintendo has been doing things behind our backs again. Well, not really \u2014 companies adjust video game character models pretty often, usually between console generations or as graphics engines improve. But people can get pretty protective of particular character models. Some people prefer Sonic’s sprite in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles<\/a> as it’s a little pointier and has smaller eyes, and Pikachu started shedding weight between Pok\u00e9mon Red & Blue<\/a> and Pok\u00e9mon Gold & Silver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, with this in mind, we have a question for Nintendo \u2014 why do you keep making Pauline shorter?<\/p>\n

Super Mario variety blogger @MarioBrothBlog<\/a> is known for spotting the weird and wonderful from the Mushroom Kingdom. And the other day, he shared a handful of Pauline’s character models since her return in 2017’s Super Mario Odyssey<\/a>. And there’s a suspicious trend amongst them \u2014 each one is smaller than the last!<\/p>\n
