How to Use Pauline

Specializes in Control But Well-Rounded Stats

Pauline can hit shots with more power without risking accuracy, so she's a good choice for when you want to take more of a calculating approach in Standard and Speed Golf. She's also well-rounded as a choice for the Battle Golf mode due to her good Control and sufficient Speed and Stamina.

Speed Boost After Special Shot

Pauline's Special Shot itself is an ordinary blasts away balls in its path shot, but Pauline does get a speed boost for a time after the Special Shot. Not all characters who have the blasts away balls in its path shot have this secondary effect—certainly not Peach, who Pauline has comparable stats to.

Rigid Special Dash

Pauline's Special Dash doesn't have a wide area of effect, as you have to charge directly into your opponent from behind them or land directly on them in order for them to get knocked off. It normally doesn't work if you go at an opponent from the side. This makes her Special Shot a bit rigid, especially with the high jump at the end of it. You have to time it correctly.

In order to unlock Pauline's ★ Star and ★★ Super Star Club Sets, you need to earn character points playing as Pauline in Standard Golf, Speed Golf, or Battle Golf! The table below depicts how much character points you need to earn in order to unlock each Star Club Set.
