Always remembering Walkazo
Mario and Pauline only dated because of pressure from those in their lives, because as close friends of the opposite sex, they simply had to date, right? The pressure only got worse when the events of Donkey Kong took place and he had to rescue her. The breakup happened when they mutually realized this and communicated it with each other, that they weren't even dating for themselves, but for everybody else.
