Pauline wasn't completely forgotten though, she's not as frequent but she still appears in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong games
Daisy wasn't completely forgotten though, she still appears in sport games. Oh, what was the discussion about?

but it made sense that they basically started anew at that point. Mario went from carpenter to plumber, and instead of the real world, it was the Mushroom Kingdom, so it figures there would be a new "damsel in distress". So I guess they tried to start yet another "world" with SML, but afterward, while Pauline was totally forgotten, Daisy was carried over into as I called them, those"allstar" (sports, etc) games.

(Let's not even start on how they botched the Donkey Kong character canon! They chose Jr. for the original Super Mario Kart, but afterwards, which DK was which became totally muddled).
I think SML was based on the same world of SMB instead of a different canon. Mario was sent to begin a new journey. Daisy and Peach were definitely different characters even though I don't think Daisy was a right choice for the Mario Tennis 64 as mentioned. For Pauline, what she need is a more well-described own story or more relationships in Mario world.

At least DK and Wario have built their own seperate world. If Daisy had a series consisted of desert-themed adventure games, she wouldn't be mentioned in this topic.

Yeah. :/ Is Donkey Kong from Donkey Kong Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong's father, or Donkey Kong's grandfather? And how come Mario hardly aged, and maybe he aged negatively (remove their mustaches and see who looks younger)?

We know that Diddy Kong is basically the new Donkey Kong Jr., though.

I think Daisy was intended to be an alternate to Peach, but now, she's mostly her own character with a more distinct personality, and she deserves much better than this.

I don't know if Pauline fits in Mario's style because she's there so rarely. She doesn't look that out of style (she's not a hypersexualized creature, for instance) but since she appeared in no games outside of Mario vs. Donkey Kong, that's why she feels so strange.
 
Still, I don't like how Nintendo is neglecting basically their first damsel in the Mario series
 
Oh, Nintendo neglects anyone that isn't called Mario, Luigi, Toad, Yoshi, Bowser, Peach, Bowser Jr., and also isn't a Bowser minion that has appeared in Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World.

Lucky for Rosalina
 
Actually quite a lot of enemies from World only appeared there, or got limited appearances after that, though I guess it is more than some

She was VERY lucky indeed. I still can't believe she made it in. I've watched the trailer where she was revealed many times because I still don't get how she became playable. I still have my doubts, though. I'm not entirely sure she fits in the game, and I fear Nintendo is going to overuse her and ruin her like they did with Daisy and Waluigi. I'll hate it if I see her in Strikers, Baseball, Olympics, etc. Golf is ok, though.

You forgot Mario Hell.

AKA Mario Party. Man that should be notable too.
