It's curious they made Pauline a kid, but it works for what they're doing with this game. I like that the weird little rock thing is clearly meant to poke fun at the lame "companions" that appear to have been a Nintendo mandate in their games for several years now, by actually just making her a fully fledged character and not just a talking orb or bucket or whatever. It's just odd they didn't decide to make her an original character, but hey we have that cast of villains... who are very... VERY Japanese in their design. They're a bunch of apes! Act like it guys! Don't act like the latest rejected Sonic game villain squad! Oh well, it works for what it is.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
